No Suitable Graphics Card

[Shellylongstockings]

"No suitable graphics card found."
"Could not find a Driect3D device thatsupports the XNA Framework HiDef profile"

I get this error message when I try and start the game. I've searched online for about an hour looking for solutions, but could not find anything that worked. Am I simply out of luck? I don't know much about the technical side of computers so any help would be much appreciated.

I came across this issue today, after having over 1000+ of running Stardew Valley.

after spending the last 30-45 minutes researching this, I remembered that I had recently started using a secondary monitor app for ios named 'duet'. Even though it was not connected, running, or set to auto start, it was the root of the same issue.

That being said I wonder if any applications overlay outside of Steam's is the cause for other's issues as well.

Add potentially other display altering applications, running or not, to that list.

I hope this helps anyone who should be able to run the game but can't.

How did you find this ios program on your computer and what type of computer do you have? I have a Windows 7.

Can confirm - I wasted 3 hours (exactly) trying to resolve this issue of 'No suitable Graphics Card' and finally, on a whim, decided to test the theory above and deleted Duet Display (as well as iDisplay). The game did NOT work still. Then, rebooted my PC, and it fixed it!!!!!!!!.

I found this issue occurred only after I updated my graphics card from a 560 TI to the GTX 1080. I thought it was remnants of an old display driver (since Duet and iDisplay were both on my PC back when I had the 560 TI). Perhaps there's something about the newer generations of NVIDIA cards that interact with Duet display?

Anyway, it wasn't even Stardew Valley that originally gave me a problem. I just downloaded Kynseed tonight and it kept telling me that it was "preparing to launch" and then it would just stop. Next, I tested Stardew valley - it gave me the error that everyone is discussing here. Then I tried DOOM - that game worked. I tried Amnesia - that game worked. I realized it must be something related to games like SDV, Kynseed - so I tried to open Terreria and the same issue occurred (even got the error). I did try this fix: (https://steamcommunity.com/app/296470/discussions/0/34093781740855384/?ctp=2) but I had no luck with it until TOTALLY UNINSTALLING Duet Display.

Thank you to Ennalia - holy crap, I was literally minutes away from nuking my computer and reinstalling everything from scratch!

Onarum's suggestion of updating your drivers might actually be your best bet, which you can find on Toshiba or Intel's site. If you've had your computer for a while and never updated the graphics drivers, they might be out of date.

I found another thread about this problem, and it sounds like it might be because certain graphics chips aren't compatible with certain levels of DirectX -- and just because you have DX11 installed doesn't necessarily mean your GPU can actually run at that level.

From what I can gather, the i3-350M should be up to DX10 compatible, and I can't imagine this game really needs to run at such a high level.

Here's that thread, with a bit of a flame war in it:

If that doesn't work, this is kind of a blind shot, but go into your game installation directory (right-click game name > properties > local files > browse), open the _CommonRedist folder, and if you keep digging, there should be two separate programs you can run; they should have "dotNet" and "XNA" in the file names. Install those, restart your PC, and see if it helps.

If neither works, you might just have to issue a refund and appeal to the dev to improve the compatibility. Multiplayer is still in the works, so the guy is still working on improving the game.

I'm working on trying to get this game to run on my computer, I've followed multiple threads and feel like I've tried everything that has been mentioned. The only fix I feel like I've found and haven't tried is running the _CommonRedist dotNet and XNA files, I don't seem to have the _CommonResdist folder mentioned here. Does anyone know if this is could be the problem and how to fix it? I have seen individuals with my same computer and specs who have solved the problem, but my computer does not seem to be working with those fixes.

Also, I am reasonably certain I don't have a display overlay installed.

I got it to work, most recently I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my graphics card (I had tried to fix it or update it without uninstalling before.) and running terraria briefly.

UPDATE YOUR GRAPHICS DRIVERS, PEOPLE!

Not only did this make Stardew Valley run on my PC, but in general increased my performance in games.

This is really easy to do on a Dell laptop - just google drivers for your specific model and the Dell SupportAssistant app will install all the drivers for you.

If you're not on a Dell machine just update your drivers, it really helps.

after having this exact issue for 2 days, i have finally found the answer on the postal 2 forums!

try this: Use REGEDIT (Windows key+ R and the regedit into the textfield) and change the "SoftwareOnly" key from "1" to "0" in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Direct3D\Drivers
and then reboot the system and it should work.

this worked for me at least.

i found non of these works so i patched the game file based on this info : https://codingvision.net/xna/xna-disable-profile-check
AssemblyVersion : 1.3.7346.34283
https://gofile.io/?c=OodkWr (Download and use at risk as well as follow the latest version of the game)

I have the same problem

[Ack]

I had the same problem, I have an onboard graphics card, and it looks my PC didn't have the right graphics driver installed.
So I used the Everest software to find out which model my processor was (Intel i3), I installed the right driver and the game started correctly.
