Hello, I have had this problem with SPORE when trying to open it, I get this error Invalid license Error code = MISSING DLL: [d3dx9_27.dll] Error: 0xC1,I installed the SPORE from EA Desktop with my EA Play subscription provided by my xbox game pass for pc,

the installation goes well until the moment of opening it I get this error which does not allow me to play, I already reinstalled the Direct X, and it did not work, I also reinstalled the game and the same, please I need help

I found a solution that helped me. You have to go to the folder where you have Spore installed. Go to _Instaler> directx> redist. There you have files called Aug2005_d3dx9_27. You choose according to your Windows system, click on each file that is there and save it to Spore> Sporebin (where the Spore application is located). Now you should be able to start the game.

Do not, under any circumstances, download d3dx9_27.dll individually from any DLL download site. There are a number of reasons why downloading DLLs like that is a bad idea. If you've already done so, delete it from wherever you put it and continue with the following steps.

I was wondering if there is any low level conflict in running both crossover games and wine 1.1.34 (macports) on the same machine (apple aluminum macbook). I have still to encounter any issues, but what I have in mind is common applications, like for instance steam. I do use a separate wineprefix for every app I'm running under wine-devel, but still, should I expect by default some things going crazy?

In fact regarding Steam I can attest to the fact you can run the same exact install with both Wine & CXGames (at different times). I do this so I do not have to have 2 copies of my 80gigs of Steam games :)

good to know, thank you.

As a side issue, do you happen to run Oblivion under wine 1.1.34 on a mac? I'm getting a d3dx9_27.dll error, although I did use the recommended override (this is with the steam game of the year version of Oblivion). funny thing, the bugger works under crossover games 8.1.2, but performance is not something to be desired, even after changing a few things in Oblivion.ini.

I know full well that the 9400 is not exactly the best of GPU's, but I do run Fallout 3 under wine on this machine quite well, so I was hoping that Oblivion should not pose a problem.

I guess this question goes for Jeff or whomever has some knowledge of this....

is there a way to use a wineprefix (wine-devel installed with macports) as a crossover games bottle? By extension, can you archive a wine prefix such that it can be used by crossover games? I should mention the machine is a mac running 10.6.2 SL.

The d3dx9_27.dll is part of DirectX 9 suite. Typically every software that needs this file should include it in the installation package, but in reality, not all developers do this. Even more, d3dx9_27.dll is part of an optional update of the DirectX 9 suite.

Some users have reported that following Method 1 resulted in a message saying that their DirectX version was already the latest. Turns out that this issue regularly occurs on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 computers and it happens because the installer sees that the operating system uses DirectX 12 (or DirectX 11) without checking the optional DirectX files (which are our interest).

Luckily, you can easily go around this minor inconvenient by downloading the DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) version instead. This will contain most optional DirectX files that are regularly needed, including the d3dx9_27.dll file.
