No suitable graphics card found Unable to create the graphics device

[Nanien]

I haven't had this issue before. I played Terraria months before, and now I suddenly get this error message on every start, and am unable to play. I tried restarting my PC, but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Edit: Verifying files also doesn't help.

What is your graphics card? What is your operating system? Quick edit: if you are on Windows, have you checked your graphics card drivers?

[Nanien]

Pretty sure I have the same stuff as 10 years ago, but my NVIDIA driver is up to date, and like I mentioned, other than software changes, no alterations have been made to my PC from last time I played.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
Installed RAM 16,0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

It's a potato, but it should still be able to run Terraria, I think.

I've ran terraria on an i3 2nd gen processor with intel HD 3000 no issues. Not sure what may have happened but putting this here as a (benchmark I guess). Only issue I had was after the computer aged some I could no longer play in full screen without lag, I had to slightly reduce the screen size in windowed mode and everything ran fine still.

Well, I appreciate your input anyway, thank you. I just don't know how to proceed.

Might have found a possible fix:

as the post says, just remove the slashes in your config.json:
"Display": "\\\\.\\DISPLAY2",
"DisplayScreen": "\\.\DISPLAY2",

I tried this, but the same thing happens :( Thank you for trying to help, though!

So upon browsing my own config file, i noticed that my Display and DisplayScreen is empty:
"Display": "",
"DisplayScreen": "",
So maybe try that and if that does not work try to delete the file and verify integrity to restore it.
If all else fails, try to run it with your integrated graphics just to make sure its not your card.

had no issues with this but
for me its says:

"Display": "\\\\.\\DISPLAY1",
"DisplayScreen": "\\\\.\\DISPLAY1",

so maybe something more to try
could be that the game trys to use a second monitor or something like that?

I have 3 video output devices: two monitors and a tablet. My second monitor broke (display no longer works), but it's still plugged in and my computer can still detect it.

Thank you! It really does work!
I'm just still confused about why it wouldn't work on its own though.
