Unable to initialize direct3d shadowman how to#
I will be buying a laptop in the new year and this old comp won't be used for gaming much at all.ġ) anyone know a quick solution to my VPU recovery/Direct 3D problem or how to check if my card is dying?Ģ) if not, what steps/checklist must I run through to ensure a new card is compatible with my old (2004ish) motherboard (MSI KM3M)? I'm interested in the GeForce 8600 GT GDDR3 or the Radeon HD 2600 XT and I currently have a Radeon X800. In fact, if there really isn't a quick solution, I think I'd rather spend about MAX $150 on a new card.just something to play AoEIII at mid-range settings. What am I missing How can I run Directx-11 applications on my machine. I updated the 'Intel HD Graphics library on core i5' to the latest driver. That’s still extremely playable, but if you want that extra smoothness, you can revert to 640×480, or just disable bilinear filtering. I have installed the latest DirectX (installed using 'DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer': link) I also installed DirectX 9 SDK from here: DirectX 9 SDK June 2010 dxdiag shows Direct3d 'Enabled'.
I'm not opposed to buying a new card as a means of avoiding a whole wack of tests/trial&error/time wasted. The game is running at 800×600 with all the effects on, and it holds 30fps most of the times, with drops down to 25fps in the cages area. I haven't always checked, but for the last couple of months it's been running at ~60 degrees, which seems fine. Please restart 3ds max using the -h option', forcing me to restart the application. So is my card dead/dying? I think I've had it less than a year. im experiencing an annoying problem with max 2013 (in max 2012 this would not happen): it works fine, but if i leave the pc for some time, with screensaver start, when i return 3ds max show me in the viewports 'Failed in initialize Direct3D.

Tried to play again but received that familiar and oh-so-hated Unable to Initialize Direct 3D. If you run Intel based pc hardware,go to: /support/drivers-software/chipset/in new window edit the three tabs.Once installed,download & run Direct X 2010 redistribute,from Microsoft.Once downloaded,R.click on it,open,open to new folder you created, extract to new,open new,scroll to bottom,click on the Direct X install icon,rest is auto. I went and installed brand new drivers (I had played the game with drivers provided on the GPU installation CD as I had way back when things all worked well). I quit the game (kinda had to as it ran so slowly it was rather unplayable) and restarted. However, shortly after I ran into some VPU recovery problems.
Ok, so I've completely wiped my HD, reformatted and reinstalled everything (necessary).
