HELP!

[dominic_adams]

I get the error upon trying to play warrior kings battle: "your graphics driver has reported the error 'D3DERR_DRIVERINTERNALERROR' in IDirect3D8:CreateDevice."

It then goes on to suggest that i check my graphics drivers are up to date which i have done and they ARE up to date...

Sytem:
AMD pelidriver 6350
Ram-4GB
120 GB SSD
AMD Radeon R9 290

Can anyone suggest a fix for this so that i can play the game i just spent £6.99 on! Thank you :)

Might be a DX error. Try installing the latest Direct X by downloading it from microsoft.

Hi, Half a decade late, but I had the exact same issue and managed to fix it.

My system includes:
ATi 7970HD
Intel i5 Ivybridge
Windows 7

Before my solution, I attempted one fix using the registry to set the preferred graphics device. Instructions here: https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/5410/t1728840-graphics-settings-d3derr_driverinternalerror/
It was not successful, but may or may not have been necessary for the following things to work, I'm not certain. Skip for now if you're unsure, as touching the registry can be sketchy.

Immediately afterwards I tried the ENB Dx8 to Dx9 converter. Although it was recommended for a different issue, and even developed for a different game, the game at least finally started up.

1. Download here http://enbdev.com/convertor_dx8_dx9_v0036.htm
2. Extract into the WK:B directory (Steam\steamapps\common\Warrior Kings Battles)

In case you had the next issue I encountered where upping the resolution causes the game to crash, I used the WKB Starter: http://www.moddb.com/mods/warrior-kings-battles-advanced-game-starter/downloads

1. Download latest version
2. Install into WK:B directory (Steam\steamapps\common\Warrior Kings Battles)
3. Set resolution in "graphics"

Happy days, and god bless these modders. Other useful stuff can be found at: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Warrior_Kings:_Battles
