Yesterday I had the same "502 Bad Gateway" error, today the images are loading fine. So it was a server issue.

No idea regarding your issue. Last message suggests a corrupt media, so I would check the media with a CD/DVD scan tool, provided it is a boxed disk version. I use VSO Inspector for such jobs, but I guess there are plenty of others available.

Otherwise, re-download, like suggested. I guess this is not the STEAM version? If it is, a "verify" of local files, in the Steam client, couldn't hurt.

Valusoft was swallowed by Cosmi, long ago. I don't know if they still support this stuff, if not installed from Steam.

This not the steam version this is a CD disk i got from store long ago

I checked back to see if clicking the " install DirectX" would make a differance.

The beginning starts with the agreement thing i click next

The box shows " DirectX 9.0 Runtime Install: This install package will search for updated DirectX Runtime Components and update as necessary. It may take a few minutes. "


I clicked next

Then it shows the installing components step and doing the Initializing but the loading is empty it immediately shows a small box came up with a message saying:
" This version of DirectX is not compatible with the version of Windows currently installed "

What version of Windows do you have, and what version of DirectX is it trying to install? run "dxdiag" from the Windows search bar.

To find your Windows version run "winver" the same way.
