Brief Description of Issue: I googled a bit and noticed other ppl are complaining also for the same problem. When i want to start the game ,error pops up saying "Failed to initialize DirectX 11".

I downloaded latest directx drivers,but it says its up to date. Updated graphic card drivers. Still nothing. Dont know what to do next...

If needed i can copy paste the result of DirectX Diagnostic Tool

i downloaded pirate version

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is the most likely culprit for your issue.

However, you could always try to re-install DirectX or force one at least.

Yeah i tried it couple of times but it says that it wont finish or try to re install since its the current Directx is up to date. And i cant delete it, Im using btw a Windows 7 Professional.

Here's a fix I pulled from the almighty tech oracle (google)

Get a clean download of the most recent DirectX you need, find the path and filename to the installation msi. Open your run window and type this in (replacing the path and filename appropriately):

msiexec.exe /fa "c:\<path>\Microsoft DirectX ##.msi"

The /fa switch should force it through.

I resolved the issue by doing a complete windows update...
