"Error Creating Direct3D 9 Graphical Engine"

[Hunky]

Ok, seriously, I'm very upset right now. I bought the game like months and months ago and I keep getting this problem. I searched on internet several times but I still can't find a fix for this bug.
Basically when I start the game a black screen appears and I can see the mouse, but I can't exit from that. So I must open the task manager, and when I'm in the desktop I can see a window that says "Error Creating Direct3D 9 Graphical Engine".

I ran dxdiag and I have Directx 11. DIRECTX 11 for f**k sake.

I need some help, this game wasn't FREE. I SPENT MONEY ON THIS AND I WANT TO PLAY IT.

Check the graphic issue sticky on top here. If that doesn't work there is something wrong on your end.

If that don't help it's probably something wrong with the DX installation on your computer.
The fact that you have DX11 doesn't mean DX9 will be fine.

So what should I do, open my DayZ.cfg and replace everything with Nina's one or just ask/check in the comments of the thread 'bout my problem?

Try that stuff first.
I haven't seen anything on that exact error, but since you already tried searching for it, it's a bit of a long shot, but worth trying.

I'll try that stuff first, but when I search on internet there are a LOT of people with this problem. I didn't try all the fixes but only some. In the doubt I will ask in the thread comments.

install directx9 if you HAVENT played a game that already install directx9

[Oleg Mongol]

Install DX9. It's not our fault you didn't check the system specs section

[Hunky]

I installed Directx9 a lot of times.

Ok I tried that "stuff" first, and I keep getting the same problem.

Silly question maybe, but you did reboot after installing DX9 again?

My thread only deals with resolution issues, and the DayZ.cfg has nothing to do with DX9.

And no Hunky, I cannot help since installing DX9 manually didn't solve your problem.
