Try checking windows for internal errors go to your start bar and type cmd then press enter,make sure you're in your admin account. In cmd type sfc /scannow. Let windows scan your computer for errors and when it is done and if it finds errors then restart your computer. Then try installing direct x again.

Try holding the windows key at the same time pressing the R key.Then type cmd and that should bring the window up and do what i said in my other post.

Direct X is automatically downloaded when the Steam game is downloaded and installed so there's no issue there.

Steam's DX download policy... Valve engineer explains why Steam keeps installing D3DX files with each game download | VG247. Point? You'll always get DX, whether you want it or not

No the problem is that when i click play it says that latest directx is required to play the game.
