Failed to locate D3DX dll

[Severance]

Here's the error i get upon hitting Play. Legions.exe launches, and the error appears.

I'm running 7 x64, AMD Phenom II x4, HD4870 2 with Catalyst 10.11.
running as admin, with UAC disabled, i remember some nonsense needed to getting legions functioning correctly with win7 on the ia site. I haven't tried anything to rectify the issue just yet.

also, double clicking the title bar maximizes the launcher window, and it looks terrible.

console.log:

Do you have the latest version of direct x? I believe that fixed the .dll issue for someone in IRC.

I do, but went ahead and ran dxwebsetup anyway, there must have been a missing component for dx9. Issue is resolved, atlest to the point of getting options menu, etc

same problem until I update directx11 drivers.
