As soon as I attempted to change the resolution the game crashed with an error notice saying fatal error directX9 something or other. I loaded up the game no probs but the resolution was wrong, I noticed DirectX9 was grayed out. Anyhoo I opened the box installed Nividia GForce Experience updated my drivers (RTX 2070) and then installed LotRO. I am enjoying the game again so much I thought I'd get myself a new laptop so I can still play. I have just returned to LotRO after four or five years away doing other things. Just received a new laptop this morning as for the foreseeable future I am going to be away from home a lot. but if you've got two video adapters, you may need to change the following in Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\UserPreferences.ini to tell LotRO which video adapter to use.

Running the latest 2017.12.1 driver, though the problem's existed for at least as long as I've had the vega card, so early sept.ĭxdiag reports no issues, other dx9-11 games do run when this card is attached to the monitor.Ĭan't promise (any of) this will help. But with the vega card also installed, I cannot select dx10 or dx11 for this one, nor can I select any resolution higher than 640x480, as doing so will result in a crash ('dx9c not installed'). When I remove the vega, it also works fine again. The Vega works fine with Lotro, while the HD7750 doesn't work at all while the other one is installed except in fallback mode (640x480), even though the HD7750 worked fine when it was the only GPU in the case (installed in the same slot it is in now). This doesn't work for me, on a PC with 2 GPUs installed (vega56 + hd7750). SSG may want to consider restoring this functionality in their installer which actually still says that it's trying to install the DirectX runtimes (but apparently failing). though if you do the latter, you will then need to reconfigure the game, custom keymaps, etc.) (though not necessary in my case, you may also want/need to delete your userpreferences.ini file in your user "Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online" directory or even the entire directory itself. Yes, they will install even on Windows 10 圆4.ĭirectX 10/11 hardware should then be detected by LotRO upon next launch. Older systems may have had the DirectX runtimes already installed by other games.Īffected customers must install the Direct X runtimes from Microsoft themselves. This leaves fresh install of LotRO on fresh installs of Windows unable to detect the presence of DirectX 10/11-capable hardware. The current LotRO installer consistently fails to install DirectX runtimes despite it saying that it is doing so. The player is presented only with "DirectX9" as a "Graphics Hardware Level" option in Game Options. Perhaps SSG would consider "stickying" the below post.
