*NEED HELP* A lot of technical problems

[Vaxen]

So my game keeps crashing. I verify the game's integrity, and it works. My game works fine, although sometimes it will crash again and I will have to reverify the game's integrity. Even when it works, when I try to play it again, it will crash again, and etc.

Also, when I launch the game, two games open at once, one with the Steam interface disabled, the other with it enabled.

My game will also crash when I go to the vehicle selection with the game that has the Steam interface enabled.

I also get this pop up message, which says:


"DirectX 9.0 Initialisation Failed! 'Line 1518, CreateDevice : D3DERR_DEVICELOST' "





How do I stop such a thing from happening? I even tried reinstalling and removing all of my mods..

Specs: Intel i3, 20 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Windows 10 64 Bits.

it's direct x, have you got the latest version installed? I would try update it or download an offline installer and install over it. If there is a way to uninstall it first then do that and then reinstall but i don't think there is with direct x. The game itself is fine, that's why the game integrity is passing.

Well... I dont know how to uninstall it and where to find it. Do you know how to? I do think it might be the reason why. After all, I am also having texture problems in TM2 Stadium

el fuego says this on the main tm forums..."Make sure you have the latest Dx9.0c? Try doing Start > Run > dxdiag and see if all works OK. If all else fails, download and reinstall DirectX."

I know, I did that. And it says it works OK. But I know it has something to do with it. Do you know how to reinstall DirectX?

read that one. I know it's a different game but it's similar problem. What I used to do with direct x is just download from the site and install. where his post says amd catalyst, uninstall whatever drivers belongs to your graphics card.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... that seems complicated...

[Bl@nk Bl@st]

basically he's saying uninstall all of your graphics drivers, restart the pc, then reinstall the updated graphics drivers.

I've got an NVIDIA graphics card, with NVIDIA GeForce Experience, on which I can directly re-install my graphics drivers. Will this do the same thing?

I seem to have these problems ever since the last Windows 10 Update...

You could try go to "start" - settings - apps ... and then click on uninstall windows updates. Just uninstall the latest one and see if that fixes the problem. Try that first and then if that doesn't work, uninstall all nvidia drivers and reinstall.

Omg, I actually reinstalled my NVIDIA drivers, and it worked!

Thanks a lot for the help!

Just too bad I gotta redownload all the mods I had. RIP.

I still have problems on TrackMania Stadium though... it seems to be the game itself, however... there is no way to verify file integrity with Steam, as it will only verify the integrity of the launcher... any tips?

You tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling? just backup your folder under my documents. That's your saved profile and skins etc.
