If a game just told you it needs DirectX, or a d3dx9.dll is missing error popped up the moment you double-clicked an old executable, you are in the right place.

How to Download DirectX

1 Click the DOWNLOAD button for your preferred link (US/EU Main or Mirror). When prompted by your browser, choose "Save" and select a destination folder.
2 We recommend using the mirror links (EU MIRROR / US MIRROR) first - they tend to be faster and more reliable than external sources.
3 Having trouble downloading DirectX? If the download doesn't start, click the link again or try a different browser (Firefox/Chrome). Some security software may block downloads due to false positives.
