Issues fixed

Vertex Shader Error

Complete error says FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation, ShaderName: shaderTemplate, D3DXCompile failed - result, at gml_Object_objControlerN_Draw_64.
This is caused by game missing certain DirectX component and it's not included as redistributable, so user has to manually download and install it.
Install DirectX Jun2010 offline redistributable[2]
  1. Download DirectX June 2010 offline redistributable from Microsoft.
  2. Install the downloaded file and reboot the machine.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/360740/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (360740) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
