Error when running FFXIV benchmark

[Matthew Renna]

Hi everybody,

When I try and run the FFXIV, I get this error
d3dx9_41.dll is missing

While this computer's specs are pretty bad, why is this?
It is able to run other games that require directx, so what is the issue?

Install this. That us a directX update. Abd when installing a game and game askes to check directx you check it dont just skip.

Well, the PC still doesn't run the benchmark, but it runs the game. The games is way more important than a benchmark so I think my problem is solved.
