I've been looking for a way to solve this but the solutions of using an older d3d9 or putting a d3d9.dll and a d3d9_alt.dll into the game folder(which doesnt have those present in the first place). Also changing the applications compatibility doesn't work to win95,win98 or winxp which are the ones made before the games release date. it works fine with the latest d3d9 and with no d3d9s put into the game folder but usually when you change something it may or may not work and even it doesnt crash it still has framerate problems. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
