    Spellforce 2 is throwing Fatal DX9 Error

    I have recently bought the game SpellForce2-SD. And I have successfully installed it but when I run it I get this message which is nothing but: ” Fatal DX9 Error: (D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) 'Create D3D Device” . I am really failing to figure that why I am getting this error and how I can solve the issues here . I have already installed Direct X (version 9) that works perfectly and, And the below mentioned is the configuration of my system
    • Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2
    • CPU T5300@1.73GHz
    • RAM: 1.00 GB
    • Windows XP operating system.

    Well I have gone through the configuration that you have specified in the query and I really think that you need the graphic card on your system. Unfortunately, SpellForce does not work with graphics chips. You need a card from Nvidia or ATI at least. I am saying you this because the requirement of this game is specific and if you are really want to install it on your system then you really ned the graphic card. I hope you must have got the vital information regarding the same.

    The graphics chips if I understand correctly, what is not sure is the integrated graphics card to the motherboard so it's not really a card. However, for playing a recent game, you need a 3D card, a true. Without wanting to spit on your hardware, it seems still pretty out of date when I watched the video card. And one question that still eating my head is that do there are other specific games on your system.

    I would not "very easy" either, but so easy it's true, I will concede! If not on my computer I'm running Noddy which is nothing but the game and the magic key, Winny the Pooh in the land of leprechauns and green warcraft 0.5 (before the 1 with the pixels as a peon. Seriously I'm running Age of Mythology, Dawn of War that is the penultimate, Warcraft 3 and related. And it is true that they are s not that great. So basically I just need to go hang myself with my game and after trouble shooting I found that it is nothing but the games requirement which was not filled by my system and I guess in your system you are also dealing with the same issue.

    I think that the direct x9 which you have installed is either corrupted o9r the installation was not done properly. So what I want you to do here is that just uninstall the current one and then you have to again install the same on your system. I am sure that if there is any issue related with the direct x then it will be recovered. I hope you are getting me and if yes then this is the way that will help you to resolve the problem. And if doing the same is not helping you then I want you to just upgrade the version of direct x try and use 10.
