This game won't run on Windows 7 with DirectX 11 installed. It complains that it needs DirectX 9.0c or later. Any ideas?

Hi there! I'm sorry you're having issues running the game. I think it might be because it needs DirectX 11.1 which isn't compatible with Win7. Fortunately Microsoft released a patch to solve this problem:

Let me know if it helps! :)

This made me realize how old Win7 is and so I upgraded to Win10. The good news is the game runs now. But the bad news is that it runs so slow in VirtualBox it's not playable. Oh well. We're a Linux-only house here. Thanks for your help though.

Just to let you know, I still use Windows 7 and the game runs perfect on it. I think you need to install the provided patch.

I have an update for this. I was able to play Midnight Scenes Ep.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 with wine 3.0 and it worked perfectly. Interestingly, it wouldn't start at all on the same system with Proton 3.7 or 4.2. Possibly some config issues. The machine also has NVidia GTX 860M.
