Mass Effect 3 launch error. (Wrong license, missing d3dx9_42.dll)
Hello! Today playing ME3 and all was alright, but then appeared error - Wrong license, missing DLL d3dx9_42.dll. I know, that this dll is a DirectX dll, but i have installed DirectX, and in my System32 and SysWOW64 folders that d3dx9_42.dll ... Its there! I have it. But game still showing me this...
Simply installing DirectX not helping. But I foud the solution! Just needed manualy extract .dll files from .cab files in the _installer/directx/redist and copy it to the SysWOW64 folder.
Edit (via EA_Nils): We have had a few cases where the resolution was extracting the following .cab files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 3\__Installer\directx\redist into C:\Windows
