Dustforce updated, now I can't open the game. [FIX INSIDE]

[Salty-b]

I got a message that Dustforce updated today, and after that I can't open the game at all.
I don't get any error message or anything, it just doesn't open at all.
I see my friends icon turn green for few seconds just to turn blue again and nothing happends.
Any clue?

Edit: Temporary solution:
Delete d3dx9_43.dll from the game directory.
This along with the freezing issue on XP will be fixed in the next patch. Sorry about this.
Edit2: Here's a temporary fix for the freezing in windows XP, also should improve performance for people with choppy intro! (replace dustforce.exe in your game directory)
Edit3: Updated exe and fixed low res sprites bug.

Also just updated and now Dustforce crashes on start. When starting from Steam it gives me a error about ntdll.dll, however when I start directly from the Dustforce directory it crashes with some error about missing d3dx9_43.dll. On Windows Vista and I had no problems yesterday.

That's funny. I can start and play Dustforce fine, but I can't seem to quit it or the level I'm on.

I see they added a true quick reset button. I wonder if I'll be able to remap (escape) soon.

Edit: It looks like I have to use Escape and Enter to quit the game or any level now. I see, I see. Sorry about your problems, guys.

The game started but froze and stopped responding once the window popped up for me.
