    Just bought the game off steam for very cheap! =) but the game dont work.. before main menu screen loads I get this message:


    -----------------------------
    Fatal DirectX error!
    Code: 3
    Result: 0x887A0002: DXGI_ERROR_NOT_FOUND

    The game will now exit. Try starting the game with /failsafe if the problem persist.
    -----------------------------

    i know the game works on the M11x.. so I dont know whats up with my system.. maybe its my video card because I have the lastest version of DirectX (11)

    the drivers i have for my video card are: 257.30


    thanks!!

    Try updating to the latest drivers (260.99 iirc) and getting Steam to verify the game files.

    Updating should fix the problem, since the game works very well on the m11x
