Need for Speed: Most Wanted(2012), recently downloaded on Origin, but when I try to install it, it says that "D3D11" was not installed properly or that files are missing. Tried reinstalling origin, running in windows 8 compatibility mode, running as admin, and attemtping some other supposed fix where .CAD files must be moved and putting D3D11 in a different folder as well. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a working solution?
Community ManagerFirst try right clicking the game in Origin and then Repair Game.
If the problem continues then try running the following DirectX installers manually:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Most Wanted\D3D11Installer\D3D11Install.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Most Wanted\__Installer\directx\redist\DXSETUP.exe
Do let us know how you get on.
Unfortunately neither of those methods work. I ran D3D11Install first and then ran the Dxsetup after that(is that how i was supposed to do it?), which took me through an installation wizard. Then i tried clicking install on the game and the message "Error: A redistributable package (D3D11Install.exe) was not installed successfully. Setup cannot continue. 🏈" Also the "repair game" option does not appear for Need for Speed.
Community ManagerCan you try the steps at the following link and let us know if they get you past this please:
The fix there did not work either, the box was not checked to begin with. I used different combinations of running Eaproxyinstall and Origin itself with the compatibility mode on and off and nothing changed after i tried the last fix.
Community ManagerPlease start by doing a clean boot: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Then try setting your Windows user account to Admin and run these setups as admin also: http://help.ea.com/en/article/how-do-i-run-a-program-or-a-game-as-an-administrator/
