can I play directx 9 games on directx 12 platforms.

You can play DirectX 9 games on Windows 10, but you will need to install the DirectX 9 runtime, and restart your PC, because DirectX 12 is only backwards compatible to 11 and 10.

Download DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) from Official Microsoft Download Center

 

Can't Run Game with DirectX 9

Every time I try to play game with DirectX that just auto close / blank screen and crashing information, but if I run game in DirectX 10/11 is fine and no problem. Sure I already installed DirectX 9.

Please tell me how to solve it?

Thanks
