Directx End-user Runtime Web Installer Windows 8.1 64-bit

[Abbey Synnott]

TheDirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer is a collection of DirectX libraries and components required to run several graphical interfaces on Windows to function. The main download of DirectX, dxwebsetup.exe will download all currently available versions of DirectX and its updates including DirectX 9.0, 9.0c, 10, and 11.

The DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer installs all of the currently available DirectX 9.0, 9.0c, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11 versions. After you extract the files, you can run DXSETUP.exe to update your Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 PC with all of the required libraries for DirectX-compliant applications. The DirectX Runtime Web Installer application is necessary on Windows 10 to install these libraries.

For people who want to play a game, it is advisable to download and install the DirectX runtime, but the DirectX end-user runtime web installer is a better choice. Because of this, the D3DX library has been updated, it has the documentation, graphics samples, tools, and developer runtime. It also includes an updated DirectX redistributable (DirectX 9.0c).

In addition to Microsoft.DirectX.x86 / Microsoft.DirectX.x64, Desktop Bridge applications that depend on D3DX9, D3DX10, D3DX11, XAudio 2.7, XInput 1.3, or XACT must use the legacy DirectX SDK side-by-side components that are available in the DirectX SDK. Developers can alternatively remove all such dependencies.

Hey all, just got the Alpha today and have to first thank BIS for a wonderful job, even for an alpha. I have a lot to get use to in the way of controls with the stances and stuff, but that aside I love ArmA 3....well...what little I've experienced that is. I posted added feedback for the only ticket I've seen for this [ =579

I believe there are occasions when my Nvidia drivers crash as well with this sometimes. I've read one "cure" was to uninstall ZoneAlarm, but I don't have it to begin with. I did have MSI Afterburner and removed it, but still had the issue. I had the latest Nvidia drivers so I tried reverting to an older December version, and that didn't help. Uninstalled and reinstalled PhysX and that didn't help. Tried running as admin, lowering graphics, etc. All of which did not help at all. I'm pretty much at a loss right now, because I have friends that have pretty close specs as I do and either the same older driver or newer ones (again I've had both) and have no issues.

I have a core i7, 8GB ram, 1GB GTX 570, ArmA 3 on my SSD and pretty much meet and/or exceed System Requirements Lab's results for the Alpha. If I can get around this DXGI thing, I could live with the random crash when trying to launch it and whatever else comes my way. I just hate when I get in and just about getting into the game that this crash pop's up. All I need is for it to have a picture of Tard saying "ArmA crashed? Good!" lol

So if anyone else out there (who happens to not have ZoneAlarm too) and has this, please chime in. I know this is not a good replacement to the tracker, but I'm hoping there might be more out there suffering with this headache and also help vote up so we can get some sort of official fix eventually found.

By the by: I have uploaded and linked to both my rpt/dump files and complete DXDiag uploaded to my Mediafire account via the tracker, in case if some of the more technically-minded individuals on here would like to skim through and maybe help track down just what the hell kind of gremlin is pissing on my ArmA 3 Alpha parade, lol. :p

Thanks Bigbear, glad I'm not too alone with this buggery going on. Pretty much kind of like in BF3--when I am in close quarters moving around fast or finally starting to have fun, the game quits like "NOPE!". Looked through my RPT again and keep seeing this every time the session crashes:

I've experienced the same error message in MP sessions playing both over the internet or LAN. However, I've found a solution that works for me and made my Arma 3 Alpha run all stable: Download and install this DirectX End-user runtime web installer ( -us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=35). It might work for others having the same issue... :)

Prior to DL'ing and installing the DirectX End-user runtime web installer which I talk about in my earlier post, I did also try to run the dxsetup.exe from inside the Arma 3 DirectX folder with no change to my problem. Only after I followed "my" procedure did my DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED issue go away. The directx.exe installer you get via that website and the one inside the Arma 3 folder are apparently not the same version.

I'm using a factory overclocked EVGA GTX 670 FTW and I've been getting the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED error for several games lately such as Tomb Raider, Hitman: Absolution, Crysis 3 and more. In fact, that particular error has been cropping up everywhere lately for NVIDIA users. It's really weird. I'm thinking that this is an NVIDIA issue. You can even google the error and find recent listings of people having problems with it. Also, if you google "314.07 crash" you can find similar stories, all of them recent too. I believe the driver and the error might be related, but I have no idea what the true cause of it is.

Yeah mine went away for a short while and was only crashing by forcing itself into the taskbar but I could still hear the game continuing. The whole desktop was sort of unusable until opened the task manager to see it listing ArmA as not responding and having to manually kill it. But last night this DX thing resurfaced with a vengeance. I was so pissed I even opened a support ticket with Gigabyte directly to see if they could think of anything--especially since my card is the original (and discontinued on NewEgg) they put out and already popped out 2 revisions. I read up and also see people with it in Hitman, Age of Conan and especially in BF3. Looks like while the BF3-like pro's (better graphics, sound engine and capabilities) are here, I'm getting the same crashes which basically keep me from playing the Alpha just about completely, heh. :(

I ran through every single suggestion minus a clean OS install which won't help at all, and maybe lowering the factory overclocks Gigabyte did in-house for these cards. I don't think it's because it is an alpha, because look how long BF3 has been out and plenty who played it suffer the same thing there still. And what worries me is if those guys who have a bigger army of employees and tons more cash they can wipe their butts with and use to light cigars have yet to solve it, I don't know if BIS will be able to track down a fix. So I'm not sure if I should wait and see, or start saving to replace my Gigabyte 560 with a GTX 660/670 (if by some stroke of luck I get rich :P ).

In a bunch of missions I get a crash. My game just crashes, minimizes itself and I see my desktop with the ArmA 3 Cursor. However, I can't click anything. I have to get into the task manager and use my keyboard to close the process of arma3, which is set to inactive.

Yeah ran the latest nvidia beta and downclocked my card via Afterburner from 790 to 760 and am generally able to play a lot longer than 15 minutes like before. But I still get it here and there. Still thinking of just buying a new GPU since Gigabyte's tech support sucks. Having to explain the issue to someone who is either not a native English speaker or just completely daft, telling me solutions to issues I'm not even having. I already established it's not heat related, yet they keep telling me to watch temps and also yank the gpu out and try it in other pc systems. Yeah, like I have a whole lineup of extra PC's flying out of my butt that I can just test my gpu in... *facepalm*

I already told them it's ArmA 3 and BF3, as I never get this error with any other games I play (except maybe Saints Row the Third back when it was released). So maybe with a 670 I'll get lucky and avoid this issue. Probably not, but....I'm done with this Gigabyte 570 TI and Gigabyte's useless bunch of ignoramuses in their tech support department.
