[Kinda solved]Windows update breaking Steam Library

Postby TharxGamma » Thu 25 Jan, 2018 6:01 pm

So just did my Windows creator update, been putting it off for a while but in the end caved in and let it do its thing. Now, when I go to load games it threw and error saying "Failed to set a working mode for the rendering device. This could be due to having an old version of DirectX installed."

Now, I've done the obvious updated etc. The one thing that did work was to go into Steam library and verify the integrity of game files but as you can guess Elite Mod isn't liking this.

Any help lads be great! Someone needs to keep Boss in his place in 1v1 ;)

EDIT:

Just had to roll back and wait for Microsoft to fix it I guess :P

There's a DX updater within the Retribution files that should work. Travel to your game directory, go to install -> dxsetup.

Pretty sure that will put it on for you.

Sadly didn't work :( Tried reinstalling both Elite and DOW.

From what I can tell someone else has had this issue and nothing can be done? Up to Steam and Windows now, which I'm kind of calling bs on.
