[SOLVED] Graphics Initialization Error

[Stone Cold]

I just bought this game and literally can't play it because of this stupid Graphics Initialisation Error. I use Windows 8, which is probably why this is happening. I really, really would appreciate a solution to this. I can't afford to just waste $7.50 like whatever. I am very unknowledgeable about computers, so I have no idea how to do or change almost anything on my computer. Is there a way I can play this game that I just payed for, without having to go through a ridiculously complicated process of changing my computer's settings? I can't believe this is even a problem.

Here's what dxdiag tells me.

yes I have dx11

Hello, I tried all options mentioned in the thread (apply Renderer* tweaks, and modify wkD3D9Wnd.ini) but to avail. Please find attached my dxdiag and provide help:
https://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/P1%2FCgwNEyxRpO8qc99umfLrLfM5FZQx3

WA error message:
CreateDevice failed: Error 8876086C (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL: Invalid call)
Then if I switch to safe values, i get the following error:
D3DXCreateContentEx failed: Error C8770BC3 (Unknown: n/a)

Your HP ProBook doesn't support 640x480. If you're still getting the "Invalid call" error, then the D3D9Wnd module is not loaded. Ensure that "LoadWormKitModules" is enabled, and that the renderer is Direct3D 9 at the time of starting the game. Don't agree to any safe/alternative values, they are actually unsafe.
Another option is to install wkSuperFrontend from the WormKit[worms2d.info] page. LoadWormkitModules must be enabled.

Thank you StepS! It only worked after installing wkSuperFrontend! (sorry for posting in two threads)

No, windows 8 is not the reason, the game works perfectly on it.
Go to the game's installation directory (in your steam library, with worms armageddon do: right click - properties - local files - browse to local files), then open the Tweaks folder and apply one of the Renderer_Direct3D9 files and try to start the game again.
If this didnt help please describe what is written in the Graphics initialization error (there must be a description). If there's nothing then you probably have bad GPU drivers from Microsoft, consider updating .
One guy on these forums had a similar problem (graphics initialization error with no reason). He solved it by updating to Windows 8.1. Another worth considering option

HI, This is my DxDiag. I also get a graphic error. ( https://mega.nz/#!85YTSByZ!GGnn2BXTOSVSKeyQ_M-uRrO1AYPff3ss52zE3tN8sPg )

Thanks you!

It does look like the same issue as the poster of this thread had. You are running an HD TV at 30 Hz (30 fps). You could try SuperFrontendHD, and if that doesn't work still, also try D3D9Wnd
