I a wondering if anyone has gotten the Battlefield 2142 demo to work. I have tried it in Vista and XP x64 and neither work. I get the same error on both. Therefore, I figured maybe my download was bad so I redownloaded it last night and I still get the same error. Something along the lines of the following file is missing: dx3dx9_29.dll.

Works fine for me in x64 Chris. My buddy has no problems either

Hummm..... seems strange that it would do the same thing on two different OS's and several different downloads.

[David_Heavey]

Yeah. If it was hardware related I'd say fair enough but a missing file?

Maybe the EA downloader your using is currupt ?

[chriso_86]

I have downloaded it using FTP, firefox, and EA downloader.

LOL, yeah probably!!

If it does this to me when I get my full version I am going to be mad!!

Got it working!! Reinstalled dx9c and worked fine. Missing a bunch of dx files, wonder why the original install screwed up? Oh well I am just glad I can play now!!

[David_Heavey]

Is it any good? I still didn't get a chance to try it.

The graphics don't look all that great right now. But would say that is because it is the demo so I am not worried. Gameplay is pretty fun though!! I don't like the menu interface much though.
