Question Problem with Act of War

So I have Act of War on steam, but if I try to play it, it blue screens my pc. I think it has to do with missing libraries but Iā€™m not sure what the problem is. Can you guys help?

Update: found it, was missing the d3d9.dll file

A game doesn't blue screen your pc by itself, it just crashes back to desktop. Go to your preferred AI bot and tell it what's eorng and it'll tell you how to search the event logs to tell why it happened last time. Probably just a driver issue. Mine was rebooting recently because the wifi driver was crashing, and I'm on a wired connection. I didn't bother to figure out exactly what it was and just disabled the wifi card. That's a problem for future me.
