Что означает ошибка «Failed to initialize Direct3D»
«Failed to initialize Direct3D» — в переводе с английского на русский «Не удалось инициализировать Direct3D».
Direct3D – это компонент DirectX, который отвечает за интеграцию трехмерных графических изображений (3D-изображений).
Следовательно, данная ошибка возникает из-за того, что при запуске приложения (игры) на устройстве, системе не удалось найти компонент Direct3D, входящий в состав DirectX и отвечающий за 3D-графику.

Это также можно сделать с помощью программы для обновления драйверов Driver Booster.
- Открыть меню «Пуск» и выполнить команду dxdiag . Откроется окно диагностики DirectX. Следует перейти во вкладку «Экран» и убедится, что ускорение DirectDraw, ускорение Direct3D и ускорение текстур AGP включены. А также убедится, что в примечаниях нет сообщений о каких-либо ошибках или неисправностях в работе видеокарты.
- После проделанных действий следует перезагрузить компьютер.
Если ошибка появилась недавно, то можно выполнить восстановление системы Windows до того периода, когда данной проблемы не наблюдалось.

Direct3D is a graphics application programming interface (API) [1] designed for Windows operating systems. The app is part of DirectX and is used to render 3D graphics in programs which require intense graphics processing, such as HD video rendering or video games. The API works closely with the GPU to give the best results. Unfortunately, problems with Direct3D arise which might result in “Failed to initialize Direct3D” error.
Many reports were coming from multiple users complaining about the Direct3D error. It appears during startup of the application and affects numerous games, including Dungeons and Dragons, [2] Command and Conquer, RIFT and many others. It is incredibly annoying for users, as they want to dig into their favorite game as soon as possible.
The truth is, the error is not connected to the actual game (regardless of which one). Errors relating to Direct3D may be initiated because of the following issues:
- Problems with hardware
- Incorrectly installed application

- Corrupt or outdated drivers
- Due to some virtualization apps, etc.
Nevertheless, if these error pop continually you should pay close attention to other symptoms, such as slow computer performance, apps crashing, random freezes, the intensive workload of CPU/GPU, and so on.
