I deleted the downloaded files and downloaded the whole game (4 hours) again. Started to install and then I got the same DirectX install error. This is rather ridiculous now. I opened a ticket with EA support last night and still have yet to hear anything. I just did a clean install 3 months ago and I have not had issues with any other game except BFH. My DirectX is up to date along with all the necessary items that are required and apparently I'm not the only one having this issue. Additionally, when I attempted to the repair the second time, nothing happened and origin crashed giving me ANOTHER error. This one has not resurfaced.
How is it that a game is released and has issues on the first day? How about waiting until the bugs are worked out before releasing it, you know, the way Blizzard does. This is the third EA game in the last 4 that I have purchased that has choked. MOH Black Ops Limited Edition, BF3 and now BFH. Amazingly it did not happen with BF4. Why? Because I waited 8 months after it was released to purchase it.
Looks like I'll be shelving this game or getting a refund until the game is fixed.
