Cannot initialize 3d engine как исправить
>the Best compatibility mod is Win2000 or XP, which is the requiered OS anyway. I have Win7 and working on XP3 compatibility.
>Game Screen resolutions are FIXED type. Meanse the game uses only one kind.
Game resolutions are 1024×768.
>I don’t know about Win8.0 or 8.1, But in 7 in the compatibility menu tab, there is a settings list that you can also set, do not check any of them. It dosen’t run in 256 colors (not bit, big difference between colors and bit) nor dose it use a 640×480 screen. These are for DOS game types and Win95 (800×600 was common for win98 and ME, see the connection to 1024×768?).
>DVD will have no bearing, I have the a orginal release retail when it was first released and have a copy of the patch for it burned on CD, I have the recent retail release of the game that once installed, I don’t need a CD to play it anymore, and also the steam version of the game. All work just fine, actully I think it plays way better in Win 7 than it ever did when I had XP.
>I do not have Win8.x how ever, If you tried all these and run into a dead end, then I suggest to go to the SUBSIM fourms, because this is were Silent hunter lives. Members even had the chance to test SH5 regarding Ubisoft. Not to mention many mods, but I leave that to you.
In regards for issues because of Win8.x I say if the simple stuff is got you stumped, there maybe it is something else that was over looked that could be just as simple.
Ошибка Direct3D initialization error при запуске игры. Что делать?
У меня в Windows 10 при запуске некоторых игр появляется ошибка «Direct3D initialization error». Windows шла вместе с ноутбуком, версия «Домашняя для одного языка».
Скажите, может ли эта ошибка быть из-за версии Windows, и как ее исправить?
Вообще, подобная ошибка не редкость, особенно после переустановки Windows (в вашем случае, после покупки ноутбука, так как в магазинах редко устанавливаются все необходимые библиотеки и драйвера, необходимые для комфортной работы устройства).
Появляется она, как правило, после попытки запустить какую-нибудь игру — либо сразу, либо в игре будет просто черный экран, а свернув ее вы увидите это окно.
В этой статье остановлюсь на основных причинах появления подобной ошибки, и покажу на примере как от нее избавиться.
Типичный вид ошибки
Что делать с ошибкой Direct3D
Обновление DirectX
Самая частая причина появления подобной ошибки связана с отсутствием библиотеки👉 DirectX. Причем, не обязательно, что она у вас не установлена, возможно у вас просто нет какого-то конкретного файла из библиотеки.
DirectX — специальная библиотека для программистов. Используется в большинстве случаев при разработке игр. Пакет доступен для установки и обновления на официальном сайте Microsoft. Более подробно от этом можете узнать на сайте Википедии.
Поэтому, рекомендую посмотреть требования запускаемой вами игры, и посмотреть, какая версия DirectX установлена у вас на ПК.
Чтобы узнать, какой DirectX у вас на ПК, нажмите:
Запускаем средство диагностики DirectX (DxDiag)
Средство диагностики DirectX / Кликабельно
Для обновления DirectX на сайте Microsoft есть специальный веб-установщик. Перейдите на нужную страницу и скачайте его. Далее запустите, согласитесь с условиями лицензионного соглашения, и ждите пока работает мастер.
Принятие условий лиц. соглашения DirectX
В конце операции вы должны увидеть сообщение о том, что установка DirectX завершена, нужные пакеты обновлены и пр. Либо, как вариант, мастер сообщит вам о том, что новая версия DirectX уже установлена и в обновлении не нуждается.
Рекомендую после этого перезагрузить компьютер, а затем попробовать запустить игру.
Установка DirectX завершена
Как правило, после такого обновления, игра начинает работать как нужно.
Проблема с драйвером видеокарты
Если ошибка все так же появляется, возможно ваша видеокарта отключена в диспетчере устройств (такое может быть, например, у ноутбуков с 2-мя видеокартами), либо у вас просто не обновлены/не установлены драйвера на видеокарту.
Как проверить наличие драйверов и включена ли видеокарта
Самый простой способ, воспользоваться диспетчером устройств. Чтобы его открыть:
Ниже на скриншоте показано, что один видеоадаптер отключен и не задействован. Часто ошибка с Direct3D связана как раз с этим.
Intel HD включена, NVIDIA выключена
После этого перезагрузите компьютер, затем попробуйте открыть игру.
Как обновить драйвера на видеокарту:
Используйте режим совместимости
Не так давно я тестировал ноутбук с относительно новым процессором AMD Ryzen 5 2500U и столкнулся с одной интересной особенностью.
Довольно сильно я был удивлен, когда открыл свойства исполняемого файла игры, перешел во вкладку «Совместимость» и поставил галочку напротив пункта «Запустить игру в режиме совместимости с Windows XP SP 2» — игра стала нормально работать, никаких ошибок, связанных с Direct3D, больше не было.
Примеры, что нужно сделать, приведены на скринах ниже.
Открываем свойства исполняемого файла игры
Запустить игру в режиме совместимости с Windows XP SP 2
Как запустить старую игру на новом компьютере — см. способы и примеры
Если ничего не помогло из выше написанного, то также рекомендую еще обновить пакет Microsoft Visual C++ и NET Framework.
На этом все, всем всего доброго!

Cannot initialize 3d engine
Silent Hunter III
Thank you! This helped me get the game running. I didn’t have any luck using the custom DirectX9 DLL suggested in other posts. Here is a restatement of Liderc’s instructions:
1. Change the Windows desktop resolution to 1024×768
2. Run SH3.exe to start the game
3. In the video setting menu, uncheck the full screen option
4. Save your game settings and exit the game
5. Return your Windows desktop resolution to its normal value
6. Re-run the game and it will appear in a 1024×768 window
When i got it running in window mode, like is discribed above. I checked the full screen option again, saved it, exited the game, started it up again. And now it’s running fine on fullscreen with a 1920×1080 desktop resolution.
this worked for me win7 64 bit, 2 screens

Aside from the fix posted here, is there any other work around this problem?
My native resolution is 1920×1200, has anyone got it to run at this res without the tiny window?
I confirm it works well : change desktop res to 1024×768. Start the game and follow all the procedure described upper.
While the game runs correctly in window mode, check full screen again and quit/relaunch.
It works for me in full screen with 1920×1080 wide screen
Platform info : Windows 7 64 bits Pro. NVidia GTX 560 Ti, DirectX 11
This solution didn’t work for me :c
I have a Windows 8 computer, and changing the screen resolution didn’t help! It still comes up with the same error, PLEASE HELP ME!

The problem on the Chessmaster 10th Cannot initialize 3D engine is that the game support only 1024×768 on screen resolution. Do that and works fine. Peace for all.

«Cannot initialize 3D engine» that’s what I read every time I try to play Chessmaster. I tried with 1024×768 screen resolution, however the game still doesn’t work.
If the sphere of diameter decrease by 25% then what would be curved surface area after decrease?
Initial dia. = d
Initial r = d/2
Initial S.A. = 4*Pi*(d^2)/4
New dia. = d-(25% of d)
= d-(d/4) = 3d/4
Thus, New S.A. = 4*Pi*(9d^2)/64
Now %age increase = [ (New S.A.)/(Initial S.A.) ] * 100
= (9/64) * 4 * 100
= 56.25 %
So, %age decrease = 100 – 56.25 = 43.75 %
Thus, the answer is (A).
How to adjust for best picture a Sharp Aquos Quattron 3D LED LCD 52 inch tv. I’m having problem maintaining perferred brightness. Also when initial turn on the screen goes to channel then shuts down and.
This sounds like a setting that can be adjusted. What I like about some of the Sharp televisions is the av mode setting (preset brightness/contrast adjustments). I am not looking at the manual for this model so I’m not sure if this is an option on this television. However with this being a high end aquos model there is free assistance available to you. You can register your television at aquos advantage and chat live with an aquos advisor at Sharp’s Midwest Corporate Headquarters. The agent may advise you to call in if your television need and Industry Initialization because you have to be talked through it. I advise the chat reps initially because when you call you aren’t able to speak with the Midwest Corporate Sharp reps unless your call is being escalated.

The only time I have seen this error with any UbiSoft product was with SH3. The solution there was to lower desktop resolution to 1024×768 before launching the sim. It may be your desktop resoution is not supported by Chessmaster, as in SH3, but that is only a guess.
Well, I have the same trouble, only for some reason, right after installation, Chessmaster DID run. now it doesnt. not even in openGL. I ran dxtools, and tested, and everything was ok.
please help!
p.s
We should all join forces, and make ubisoft put this game out on linux. that would be the solution for many problems, and the beginning of a whole other set of problems.. 
ohh man.. this is one hell of an error.. check this out:
1. followed your link. removed both monitor drivers
2. tried to run : failed
3. rebooted
4. tried to run : success
5. closed cm, opened up internet + Firefox to reply to you
6. tried to run : failed
7. closed Firefox
8. tried to run : success
9. opened up Firefox
10. tried to run : failed
11. closed again
12. tried to run : failed
13. from now on, its all failed.. reboot, with or without Firefox.. internet.. ahh.
what does it want?
does Firefox has anything to do with dx9?
this is quite annoying..
It may also be a hardware problem on your video card. Depending on the temperature of the circuits on the card it works or not.
Don’t you have this kind of problem with other heavy 3D applications, GoogleEarth, etc.
I updated the monitors on my computer and got the error message ( cannot initialize 3D engine ). This was rather annoying since Chessmaster 10 was working perfectly fine on my old monitor.
After poking around, I noticed that the video card hardware acceleration was turned off. Turning this back on fixed the problem.
Then I had the problem of DirectX mode not working. However, this was fixed when I applyed the Chessmaster patch.
Hope this helps anyone who has these problems.

Hello,
Did you update your graphic card driver and then have problems? If not,
you could try updating your graphic card driver or you could try going back one driver version and see if that helps.
yes tried that already didn’t help either.
Rename / delete the main.cfg file from your «My Documents\SH4\data\cfg» folder.
nope doesn’ work either it puts it right back in there as i start the game,i see the unisoft movie then the intro movie and then the error message!
So you did try everything, can you list all attempts?
