DirectX does not work

Post by D.Cent »

Hi, I just wanted to try the game "BioShock" on my Windows Guest. Unfortunately, it is missing a lot of d3dx9_**.dll-files, e.g. d3dx9_41.dll.

I installed the guest additions with DirectX-support enabled in Windows' safe mode. However, I can run the DirectX 9 test in dxdiag.
Am I doing something wrong or is the DirectX-support just not good enough for this game?

I'm leaning more towards Bioshock being too heavy for VBox.
