DXGI removed also. I downgraded to 358.91 NVidia driver and it seems better. I don't know who is playing the tightrope walker, NVidia or BI, but it's very hard to get a stable non-regressive game!

Hello,

The game is unable to initialize a graphical subsystem. Possible solutions:

Update the graphics card drivers to a newer version.
Rollback the graphics card drivers to an older version.
Check the temperature of your GPUs and CPUs.
Disable the Steam Overlay.
Also try updating / reinstalling directx

I have the same problem. Everything worked fine until 13th. I want to point out that I have Windows 10 Education and that I updated the OS (through Windows Update) between the game working (around the 11th-12th Dec) and not working (13th Dec). On startup the splash screen turns slightly red and it crashes. At the same time my graphics card driver will crash. All drivers are up to date. Maybe worth mentioning that I use 3 monitors.

I found out that last Windows Update enabled stereoscopic 3D in the Nvidia settings. That caused all my problems. Now that I turned it off everything works as before!

I have this error aswell, but it didnt fix that for me @Borgli

Fixed.
Rolled back game / graphic & content mods - no change.
Rolled back video / graphic drivers - no change.

BUT did find a little steam workshop mod (Russian Music) that was the cause of all my drama's.

Get rid of Russian music mod - Game works again.

Cheers.

I finally downgraded to 355.98 to get a stable durable NVidia config on my laptop.
I guess a problem with last W10 update + last NVidia drivers. These configs don't manage the 2 graphic cards in a laptop and probably try to enable stereoscopic 3D.
No need to downgrade W10 but NVidia driver.
355.98 works with many mods like RHS CUP R3F and more.

NB: Just remaining bugs on mod such RHS: Black line or triangle comming from primary weapon or RHS unit depending on distance and terrain mask.

I am getting this too. Did everything as said. No difference. Attaching my .rpt.
I have even totally reinstalled the game.

In addition to my previous post, as i kept shadow lines errors (black lines or triangles) on some modded units (RHS, Unsung), I downgraded to 355.60 ! No error with this "old" version of NVIdia's drivers. All versions above induce weird shadows on these units at each shadow setting.
Not sure to understand how compatibility works NVidia? BI? or NVidia/BI?
The facts are here!
