1.  Enable Legacy Direct play in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features \Turn Windows Features on or Off. Also enable Dotnet 2.0 3.5 in the same place.

2.  Download DirectX June 2010  Extract to a folder and Run DXSETUP.EXE as administrator.

3. Download and install the Latest Drivers for your video card.

4.  Run the Game in Directx 9 mode not Directx 11 mode.

 This issue may occur if one of the following conditions is true:

  • Your hard disk drive does not have sufficient space available to play
  • The Microsoft Windows paging file is corrupted.
  • The version of INTEL HD Graphics does not have DX9,DX10 dll's installed aka Direct X June 2010.  Windows 8.1 has directx 11.1

 

You have to enable Legacy Direct play and Direct X June 2010

You download the file and extract to a FOLDER not desktop and run DXsetup.exe as administrator.

DX11 is not as compatible as people may have thought.

You either have an unsupported video card, overheating card or don’t have the latest drivers and or Directx June 2010 installed.

With windows 8.x you also have to enable Legacy Direct Show and DOTNET 2.0 3.5

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features

Turn Windows Features on or Off

You need to do this while you are online because it will say it cant find the software.  You then tell it to get the Legacy components online from windows update.  It will take a while.
