t.linas Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Bought the game via Steam, installed v20 experimental build hotfix 2. When tried to start the game from the launcher, got the error "Failed creating direct3d device", game won't launch. What might be the problem and how to solve it?

llunak Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I got this once when I accidentally selected too high resultion in the launcher dialog, so try checking that. I'd guess this is unlikely the game's fault, one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'd try right click >> validate files in Steam, and try a variety of resolutions if that doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
