AGEOD Forums

Hey guys I'm trying to get this game up and running for my dad. He said it installed fine (although after several unsuccessful attempts at fixing this problem I reinstalled) but when we try to run it we get an error "No compatible Direct3D devices", then a message that the program will exit, which it does.

I have downloaded and placed the d3drm.dll file into the game folder and the system32 folder and rebooted. Unfortunately that didn't help. I have also made sure that DirectX is updated. As I said I have reinstalled the game. I have the game running as administrator and have tried running it in XP compatibility mode (the actual OS is Vista). I have tried updating the game to the most recent patch. I know for certain that I have compatible devices and I am well over the recommended system requirements. I believe my video card drivers are up to date but I'll double check after posting. I forgot to check that before I started this post.

On the loading screen, the AGE logo comes and goes. I'm not sure if this is random or has something to do with the settings I change between attempts to run it.

Appreciate any help you can give!

Vista should come with a legacy DirectX installation that allows the (still) numerous Dx9 games to run. This is rather weird in your case, as many Vista players have the game.

To have the games run [WIA, AACW] I had to install DirectX 9 from the MicroSoft website, not just the single file noted. Vista's 'Dx9 compatibility' is not very compatible....

what do you expect from such a tiny company with so few resources?

So maybe you didn't put it on right place or maybe you should fix the existence dll file to run the process. I recommend the next tool which helped me and maybe could help you:http://fix4dll.com/d3drm_dll
