DS3 PC Missing DLL: d3d9.dll Function: D3DPERF_SetOptions

Hello, 

Hello, I'm French, excuse me I have a pretty average English


I have a problem with Dead Space 3.


This morning I played a bit, but tonight when I want to play I have this error message

"Licence non valide. Code explicatif = Missing DLL: d3d9.dll Function: D3DPERF_SetOptions."

I run on windows 8 64bit. My graphic card is a "AMD Radeon HD 7950"

I've tried to update Direct X. Unistall and reinstall it.
Run the DS3 as well as Origin as administrator and/or compatibility mode "windows 7  / windows XP "
I use "repair tool" on Origin.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game.

So yesterday I already had this trouble, reinstalling the game completely (download the game 10GO) and reinstall. This morning the game work perfectly, and tonight it no longer works.

I can understand whether it is a bug compared to Windows, however the fact that the running game in the morning, I take a break and then I have this error message

Expert Can you help me ?

    First off, I would recommend downloading the Direct-X Web Installer located here.

    If that does not work try to do an install from the full installer, located here.

    I realize you said you've already tried to install/reinstall it but the error given is a DX9 related problem andthis is the only thing I can suggest you do.

    I think I found a possible solution, but it's still hacking and especially it should be done every time before playing

    So, download this:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

     

    Extract files in the folder you want, and copy . 

     

    go> C :/ / paste and replace ProgramFiles/OriginGames/DeadSpace3/_Installer/directx/redist

    Past and replace. 

    Find in this Folder DXSETUP(.exe)  and launch it. Restart the PC, launch Origin and play.

    Since you quit the game you have to resume again this " solution" 

    I run on Win8 64bit.

    But this is not ideal as I expect a full response may be
