#Unable to initialize direct3d drivers#

Have tried on 2 PC's - looks like not much chance on either. I have tried launching with and without the GPU enabled and it gives the same message.

#Unable to initialize direct3d drivers#

All of my drivers are up to date and I have my GPU enabled.

Click the Performance tab, move the Hardware acceleration slider one notch to the left.

Click the Audio tab, and then in the Playback section, click Advanced Properties. My Specs are: CPU: AMD 4.2ghz, RAM: 12GB, GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270X 4GB OS: Windows 7 64bit. To resolve this behavior, reduce the sound card hardware acceleration setting: Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Tried running in real save mode get 'Unable to initiate DirectXĪt this point it seems like the reviews on were correct - very buggy program. Ive tried asking R for help but they dont care. If it doesn’t meet the requirement (DirectX 9.0c and later). 3) In the System tab, you will see the DirectX version as the screenshot shows. Tried the safe mode memory choice and goe 'encountered a problem and have to close' Failed to initialize Direct3D Fixed 1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key + R at the same time to invoke the Run box. Got past the DirectX issue but when running just after the ship starts sailing in the waves get 'The instruction at '0x7c9188f' referenced memory at 'ox450395d8' The memory could not be 'read'. Update - installed on another PC of a different type

I've run many other games and programs that use DirectX why will Pirates not work?Ĭhoosing the menu choice to run in safe mode had no effect. I found this discussion thread where it seems no one solves this problem:Īny other suggestions or am I just toast. I'm getting the message unable to initialize DirectX and I have a S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR display adapter.
