I have downloaded and followed your instructions, but when I want to start playing I get the message "You need Directx 3a to play" (or similar phrase). I installed DiextX 9 or 10 which is the lastest version, but still get the same message. Tried searching for DirectX 3a, but cannot find a download that works.
Any suggestions? I really want to play LBA2, which I consider as one of the best games ever made.
Yeah, all you need is DirectX 9 or 10, as it includes all the features of DX3. I've never received this error, and it seems you are the first person to report this issue. Have you install your video card drivers? I doubt the game will work correctly without video drivers.
Make sure you double check drivers, and what OS are you running?
