Open luky92 opened this issue 3 years ago • 15 comments

I have a game that requires specific version of DirectX installed is there a way to install it on such VM?

is it possible that you're using a geforce 10-series gpu?

Yes GTX 1060 6gb

im having this issue with a 1080 and 1070ti. the errors in dxdiag tell me its something with the audio part of directX

I get exactly the same error

@jamesstringerparsec do you have any idea what it might have to do with?

luky92 avatar Jan 14 '22 19:01 luky92

Audio part from DXdiag is not relevant. DirectX from dxwebsetup will fail to install (reason is unknown to me). I fixed it with DX Dependency Fixer: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/directx-dependency-fixer-dxfix.87/

I got it working!!!! the issue seems to be the nvidia driver.

I downgraded my driver from 511.something to 510.06. then i mounted the VM drive and copied the driver files from "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_xxxxxxxxxx" on the host to
"H:\Windows\System32\HostDriverStore\FileRepository" on the VM drive (drive H in my case) after that i enabled the "microsoft hyper-v video" adapter in thew VM device manager

Have you tried with any other versions of the driver?

Have you tried with any other versions of the driver?

Yes, but 510.06 is the only one that worked. all the other drivers gave me the same problems. download link for the driver : https://developer.nvidia.com/51006-gameready-win11-win10-dch-64bit-international (source: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/new-cuda-on-wsl2-driver-510-06-is-now-live/188333)

Does this gave you a kernel error when trying to do so with a different driver?

update 2: i got it working perfectly without any directX issues. all games seem to be working. it looks like it was a windows issue inside the VM. the script installs windows home/pro N. i think that is part of the issue.
how to:

  1. create vm using script (VM1)
  2. make 2nd vm and install directX and nvidia/amd gpu driver (VM2)
  3. move the HDD file from VM 2 to the folder of VM1
  4. rename the file from VM2 to the name of the file of VM1 and give the file from VM1 a different name
  5. boot VM1 and it should work

driver location on VM: C:\Windows\System32\HostDriverStore\FileRepository.

But bro, the script installs whatever windows iso you tell it to, maybe you are using the wrong iso or the one that the windows media creation tool downloads for you, may I ask, where did you got the iso from?

Edit: typos.
