Re: Red Alert, The aftermath, Counterstrike DIRECT X SETUP ERROR

Hi doiin16,

That is great to hear. If you wish you can now delete that folder with the .cab files as they are no longer needed. It appears to come down to a problem with the DirectX extraction process during the installation of the game. By moving these .cab files, it forces Origin to use the DirectX setup again to ensure that it is correctly installing the right files to run the game.

I am very happy to hear that it is working for you now and glad I could help.

If you need anything else let us know.

Thanks.

Rick

    I've got Windows 8 and had the exact same problem.

    Have tried the steps shown above, but this didn't work for me.

    Any other ideas?
