[Shadowsliver]

I can't post a crash message cause it's apparently not considered as an error and no files are made.

My graphics card is an: ATI Radeon 5800 HD
I updated my drivers to be sure, still no luck.

Windows 7 ultimate
Intel I3 550
8gb RAM
DX11

I am having the very same problem and yes my card is apparently compatible :-(

Can you post your dxdiag info here? It seems as if you need to reinstall direct X.

I tried reinstalling directX, tried to run the game, same error, took then DXdiag then

Okay, I fixed it. I went to the ATI site and downloaded the full driver + catalyst for my graphics card. I went through the custom option so that I was sure everything possible was reinstalled and after a lengthy installation, the game just worked. So the steam driver update uses the express method it seems.

hey guys its easy just upgrade your graphics card then play. Cuz your computer wont tell you when you need an upgrade

[Etherium]

this happened to me when I tried to play War of the Roses

[Alora]

I'm haveing this problem also. I'm even running DirectX 11 and my graphics card iss up to date.

[Alex]

i dont understand any of this stuff XD how do i update my grafic card?

[Shadowsliver]

Uninstall Asus Gamer OSD, it's been causing the problems (if you have it).

Once can update your graphics card by going to the website of your supplier (nvidea or ATI) and find the drivers for your card.

Can you put a link or something telling me where this download is?

Also, disable Asus gamerOSD if you have it.
