    could be a compaitibility issue with dx11, install dx9c and then try, if that dont work then you could always right click the exe file in the game directory and run the game in xp compatibility mode, that should solve your proplem. if not then try a clean install of the game.

    Hope you get it sorted, let us know how u get on

    Try to download d3dx9_34.dll this is where i got the file from and solved the issue:
    d3dx9_42.dll 9.27.952.3001 - Download and restore missing or deleted .DLL files at DLLCentral.com
    and also this is a great source as well:
    d3dx9_42.dll Missing - d3dx9.net | d3dx9.dll
