Make sure you have DirectX 8.1 installed

[Lord_of_sausage]

Hi all

Lately, i have gotten this problem from time to time, and i can't see a reason why. It just happens randomly, and is fixed if i restart the computer.

The problem is, that sometimes when i start up Warcaft 3 Tft, it says "The Driver could not be initilizased. Make sure you have DirectX 8.1 or higher installed" or something like that. When i then click OK to the error message, another error pops up, saying "Make sure your Warcraft III the Frozen Throne is in your computer". Nothing makes sense... I have 8.1 installed, and can run wc3 from time to time, and the requirement of the CD was removed last patch???

Anyone experienced the same problem, or know how to fix it?

Thank you, seems like it worked by resetting the DirX 3d.

+rep (even if you have it disabled xD)

Happens for me sometimes aswell. Usually when my computer is overheated, do you play any games that really put a beating to your computer before you try starting Wc3?
