Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the ga

Post » Wed May 02, 2012 2:46 pm

I know the game works on my pc because ive been playing it the last few days. But when i tried to start it up today when i click play game from the launcher i get this message "Failed to initialize renderer. Unknown error creating the gamebryo renderer." Ive been searching all over the internet for a fix but barely see this problem mentioned anywhere, I even did a complete uninstall and reinstall but its still giving me this annoying message, someone please help ive put around 90 hours of my life into this game in the last 6 days and i want to continue playing instead of that time having been wasted.

Try to reinstall DirectX. If that doesn't work, try to reinstall the graphic card drivers.

I got the error to stop by disabling my video card driver and re-enabling it, thank you for your help.

There are some old, or inadequate video solutions that cannot be used, no matter the Dx9 version or the graphics driver used, they are simply too far below the game's practical minimum level:

Minimum System Requirements (VGAs corrected for Obsidian stupidity):

* Windows XP/Vista/Win7
* 1GB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
* 2.0 Ghz Dual Core processor
* Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM
(NVIDIA 6800 "GS" or better/ ATI X1300XT or better)
{Added my note here, the X1600 Pro & up really, and
avoid both the Geforce 6800 SE, and the 6800 XT}
* 10 GBs of free hard drive space
