As soon as I hit Play on the Launcher, the game starts to open only to immediately crash. I just get a black screen. I've gone into the folder and tried to bypass the launcher, only to get the exact same result. it was working earlier, so I have no clue what's up with it.
Putting directx9 directly into the folder didn't help At All. And that's all that thread suggests doing.
I have installed directx9 directly into the folder, uninstalled and reinstalled the game, run it directly from the file, run it as admin, run it without the windows firewall up, and I am still unable to get onto the game. Are there any actual solutions to this or am I just buggered forever and ever, amen?

I have this issue too. I tried many times, restarted my computer made me finally get to character select. and from there into the game.
