Missing DLL:[d3dx9_27.dll] Error: 0x7E.

Hello,

First of all I have to say i know nothing about computers. I have just downloaded Spore from the EA webpage and when i´m going to start the game there pop´s up the error: (Missing DLL:[d3dx9_27.dll] Error: 0x7E.). I have tried many things and nothing works. Can someone help me?

    Hello @Guillermosmizz 

    Please try and install Visual C++ 2013 (make sure to install x86 and x64) and DirectX from the game folder. By default, the folder would be here "C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Spore\__Installer". In the "__Installer/directx/redist" folder you will be able to see "DXSETUP" (DirectX setup) and in "__Installer/vc/vc2013/redist" you will be able to see both of the Visual C++ installers.

    Please let us know if it helps.

    Basically DirectX is needed for the game to function properly.

    If you have the EA App, the folder you need to get to should be located at C:\Program Files\EA Games\Spore\__Installer\directx\redist

    All you have to do is find 'DXSETUP' and double click it. Run through the process and then try to load Spore up after it's finished.
