Oh. That may mean you're closer, actually. The DirectX problem is in fact a different one; the newer DirectX versions built into modern Windows don't necessarily contain all components from the older versions, so needing "DirectX 9 or higher" actually just means you need DirextX 9, even if you're on DX11. You should install the DirectX 9 components from June 2010 to get it working. The older components can in fact be installed alongside a newer DirectX without any problems.

 Origin should install that with the game, but I've heard about that not happening correctly many times.

Yeah I did try this but what happened is it said that I couldn't install it because my windows version is too high and recommended I got a higher version of Directx or something like that. It's a struggle.

    You must've done something wrong. I just installed the components from the above link on windows 10, and the installer ran perfectly fine. You basically just run it to unpack it somewhere (it's advised to make a new folder for it), then find DXSETUP.exe and run it as administrator, and after it's finished you delete the stuff you unpacked.

        Uh, I did... but here's the full instructions (hero status gives me access to macros I can save. Sooo handy 🙂)

        • Download the DirectX Redistributables package from June 2010. Be sure to uncheck any other junk they want to add to it. It should be a file called "directx_Jun2010_redist.exe".
        • Run the downloaded file. It'll ask for a folder to unpack in. Make a new folder somewhere on your disk and unpack it there. It doesn't matter where you unpack it; it can be deleted afterwards anyway.
        • Go to the folder where you told it to extract.
        • Find "DXSETUP.exe", and run that to install the missing components.
        • After the installation finished, delete the folder you unpacked everything in.
