Yeah, I just bought a copy of Painkiller: Gold Edition for my PC. It installed just fine, but when I try to launch it, a window pops up that says ERROR: could not initialize DirectX 9 Renderer. Well, I know i have DirectX 9 installed, so I thought it should work. Can anyone help me??? This game looks awesome and I really want to play it!!!
What's your pc's config?
Download and install the latest version of DirectX 9.0c and that should fix the problem.
I don't know how to check my PC's config and I already have DirectX 9.0c installed.
painkiller need high end graphics card with pixel shader 2.0 support, so if your graphic card isnt enough to handle it then you cant play . . .
