Hey there  

 

I just downloaded the 1.12 client, changed the realm list and started the client. I recieved the following error message:

 

 

World of Warcraft was unable to start up 3D acceleration. Please make sure DirectX 9.0c is installed and your video drivers are up-to-date.

 

I'm running Windows 10 on my pc and I'm pretty sure I don't have DirectX 9.0c installed. When I try to download it from microsoft website, and start the installer as administrator, it tells me that I need Windows 98, Millenium, 2000, XP or Windows Server 2003 to install DirectX 9.0. 

 

Any workarounds known?
