"Unable to load import 'D3DXCompileShader' from module 'd3dx9_43.dll' "

Hi!

I have an issue with Black Ops 1, when I start it keep having that stupid issue that I don't have with BO2 or even with WaW.
I already saw some topics on that saying to (re) download DirectX or else, but it doesn't change a thing, they say that i already have a better or similar version of DirectX.

So, yeah... uhm... help?

Still nothing 🥲

Hi! Go to the redist folder in your game folder. In there is a folder called "DirectX" and in that folder is a file called "DXSETUP.exe", you run that and install it. I had the same problem, and this helped me to solve it, hope it works for u too

Then you did it wrong. The solution is to install DirectX9.

nah i'm not THAT dumb, but i fixed it, i just dropped a ton of directx .dll in the black ops folder, and it worked, it's probably a stupid Windws update that broke something about x86 architecture games or something

You say you are not dumb but are doing to polar opposite of what a smart person would do by downloading random dlls of the internet.
Which you never ever should do. And then you blame Windows.
