Upgraded to Windows 8.1(64 bit), updated Graphics Drivers from HP(AMD Mobility & Intel HD) and now getting this Direct 3D error after launching Entropia from Client Loader
well i see u have utorrent open so maybe its a dodgy copy of win8?
Nah but seriously install the newest directx you can get. again and graphics drivers from the graphics card vendor.. if that doesnt work i dunno, maybe try running in win7 mode if that is even possible. Im 90% confident it will be sorted with direct x tho
Pretty simple, the game tries to run with the integrated GPU (the one on your i3/i5/i7 CPU).
Most games have issue with it, right click on the entropia launcher and choose "Run with graphics processor".
This is really a common issue with newer laptops using integrated chips to lower the battery usage when they don't run 3D applications.
EDIT: I failed hard - for ATI it's a setting in the Catalys Control Center
only other thing I can think of is to try reinstall .net framework - using the cleanup tool
possibly reinstall the game but thats a last resort. But tbh honest from google it looks like loads of games are having issues like this so its probably between MA and Microsoft.
If possible do a roll back to 8.0
