Failed to create rendering device?

[Eon]

I got this message now when I try to play and I was wondering how do I fix it?
It didn't happened yesterday when I played.

The most common cause of that error is lack of hardware support for DirectX 11, or using Win 7 without Service Pack 1 installed. Those wouldn't be the problem if the game worked before, though (short of some kind of Windows issue causing SP1 not to be recognized, or if you were playing D:OS Classic before, rather than the Enhanced Edition).

If you still get this error:

If you are playing on a laptop with dual graphics, make sure the game is loading on the discrete graphics (nvidia or AMD) rather than integrated (Intel); it could have started properly on the discrete graphics, then for some reason the computer started trying to start it on an Intel HD 3000, or something (HD 4000 and later should have DiretcX 11 support).

Did you make any system changes between when the game was working and you started getting errors?

If you installed or uninstalled any other games or programs before this error started, try manually installing the support packages (from the folder ..\SteamApps\common\Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition\_CommonRedist) and reboot.

There are driver problems, and some programs (mostly with hardware monitoring and overclocking utilities) that can cause the drivers to report an incorrect level of hardware DirectX support.
Click Start (or WinKey-R), type in dxdiag and hit Enter, then in the window that opens, switch to the Display tab. In Win 7 or 8 check the 'DDI Version' in the Drivers section on the right; it should be 11 or higher; that is what the video drivers are reporting for hardware DirectX support. For Win 10 there will be an entry there called 'Feature levels'.
If this value is less than 11, but your GPU has hardware support for DirectX 11, try updating the drivers, or id they are already up to date, a clean reinstall. See below, for example:
