DirectX issue

Question

Oj Arnesen 0

Whenever I try to launch a steam game, I keep getting an error with DirectX, specifically xactengine3_3.dll.

I've tried manually downloading it, running cmd sfc and dism fixes and the DirectX downloader, but nothing seems to fix it.

Hii,

What game are you experiencing this issue with?

If it's a laptop or desktop, if possible, could you provide the laptop model or your desktop configuration?

Thanks

Hey, it's a brand new self-built stationary, my first ever build.

Do you need the specs of it or something in that regard?

Hii,

Is the problem only occurring in Farming simulator after you installed the mod?

Thanks

Hey again Ivan, I haven't played Farming Simulator nor installed mods. I'm experiencing this with all games that have heavier graphics. I've tried launching Rainbow Six Siege X and PUBG still getting the same issue as earlier attatched.
