failed to crate D3D device, Desktop Locked

[Madpoulet]

Hi, I have this error message since about 1 hour : when I start any game, especially CSGO and Rocket League. I played this afternoon and had no problems, and I have not turned off the computer until tonight ... On the internet, peoples says that I ask a resolution not accepted by somethin blabla i dont understand
I play with laptop (screen switched off) and a Monitor 1920x1080 + external Mouse/keyboard and until now there was no problem.
You have any ideas ?
Thanks in advance and good evening

I too am having this proble, I have sent my p.c. back to manufacturers thinking it was a graphics card problem. It was returned with a passed health certificate. I had Microsoft support on remote access twice in the past 2 days, they say there is no problems that they can see. I can play my games through origin, ubisoft, blizzard app, but I cannot play a steam game. At the moment, Steam owe me thousands. I have tried every single possible launch option command, and all possible compatability modes. I have had this error for months!!!!!!!!! Soon, if Steam, who are at fault for selling these games, it is there duty to keep the games running in tandom with operating systems and manufacturers, not the other way round. I have 90% of my games with Steam..

I am soon considering legal action!!!!!!!!!

You are wrong. Steam only sale the games to you.
The devs of the games are the ones that have to maintain the game and make sure it works on windows. Valve has nothing to do with other devs games only their own games.

Just go to your video card settings and pay attention, u must have 1920i x1080 change to
1920p x1080 or viceversa
hope it helps :)
