hey I’m wondering if there’s a fix for this issue I have current the version of Direct X but when I play the game through steam it wants to download an older venison of Direct X

Uninstall and re-Install. Also games can run on both 9 and 10 maybe you try to launch on something you don’t have.

After you installed the game check your Settings, Video Options, tab Advanced.
First selection you can make under Global header is the DirectX version : DirectX 9 or 10

I use the DirectX 10 setting. (afaik this will also work with newer versions)
