Need urgent help ( Failed to create d3d device )

[Kecko]

The problem is that when i start the game this text shows up | Failed to create d3d device. Application will now exit. Error = 0x8876086c | I just bought the game too and i can't find any good help anywhere on how to fix it. The ones that provide information on the same problem doesn't work for me or either the folder where i'm supposed to change something doesn't exist. I read somewhere that it has something to do with the resolution but i don't know where to change it.

What version of DirectX do you have?
You can use this guide to figure that out:

This game needs DirectX version 9.0c or later to run.

Also when I connect my TV via hdmi cable and click play on the game then it runs fine but when I disconnect the hdmi cable and click play then it show the d3d error, it has never done this to me before on any of my devices.

You shouldn't need to replace any files.

I found this discussion about this topic: https://steamcommunity.com/app/21130/discussions/0/627456486827509615/

Seems like the game has trouble with oddball resolutions and audio settings.

Do you know the refresh rate and resolution of your monitor?
I'm guessing it's working fine with the TV because those are usually very standard resolutions and refresh rates, and might be having issues with your monitor because they can often be slightly oddball resolutions and refresh rates.

The refresh rate of my monitor is 144Hz and the resolution is 1920 x 1080

I'd try setting the refresh rate down to 60 and see if that works.

This is a late reply but i managed to fix the d3d device problem. It's been a year now but if i remember correctly i think i downloaded a program that changed my refresh rate.

This is crazy. I’m having this problem with lego Star Wars the complete saga but I can run this game at 120fps (120hz) with no problems.

What is the program called if you remember?

[Kecko]

Hello everyone who have probably been waiting for a solution to fixing the resolution and changing the refresh rate without using an external monitor. I have finally found the application that keso was talking about and I have tested it myself today and it works. The download link is on the following site and instructions on what to do are simple and easy to understand:

https://steamlists.com/lego-star-wars-the-complete-saga-how-to-fix-failed-to-create-d3d-device-tutorial-guide/

Im sure many of you have resorted to using an external monitor, but im sure there are many who have not and have probably already found a way, but for those who havent found a way you can use this link, follow the instructions and finally play the game without an external monitor.

Look up on YouTube how to change the refresh rate of your monitor to 60hz using the Nvidia control panel. That's what fixed ot for me, I don't use a external application anymore to change the refresh rate. Hopefully that helps you.

i dont have a monitor. i use a laptop and i reduced the refreshrate to 60 hz with nvidia but still the same problem.
And no, i cant change my hz in my laptop settings. i only can choose 144 hz
