pngnman Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ugh. Im trying to play my gavorite game ever (psychonauts) and this messgae pops up right before it starts that says: The game was unabl to create the Direct3D device. Please to ensure your video drivers are installed properly. Can someone on here please tell me what I need to do to play psychonauts agin. I signed up to this community just so I could ask this question. Whoops, I put this in the wrong place. Like I said, I'm new here. Could a moderator move this please?

Were you able to play Psychonauts on this machine before? If so you made need to re-install your video drivers, but that's tricky and could leave your system without video. Here's some of the standard stuff that's a little safer to try, but anything you do to Windows could leave the system unusable. Be warned. If on WinXP be at Service Pack 2. If on Vista, configure Psychonauts to run in a WinXP SP2 environment. Upgrade to the latest drivers for your video and sound cards. Upgrade to latest version of DirectX. Run Scandisk a few times, then defragment the hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pngnman Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well, I tried to get the latest version of my video card (radeon X300) but right as the download was a bout to finish there was some erroe so it quit. Then, I tried to get the service pack and that also didn't work. I'll get the patch and see if anything happens. By the way, I don't know if this makes a difference, but I used GameTap to get my version of psychonauts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, but it sounds like your system may be having other troubles than just GameTap. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martmeister Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 or maybe it's insulted that you only paid $3 for it. Tsk, tsk. Everybody KNOWS the high life of Psychonauts retail was the $9.99 Best Buy rack. Sheesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
