Unable to find a valid Direct3D device!

Check that your graphics driver is working properly.

• Graphical settings used in the application/game (resolution and 3D settings)

I always run @ native resolution 1080p with medium - high settings.

The solution i have found is to mindlessly restart the computer and start a game until it works . Then i have no problem.

[amdmatt · Accepted solution]

Can you try enabling GPU Scaling under Radeon Settings > Display and then try to restart and test to see if the error reoccurs.

[executor2]

Weird thing ,  I had my pc shut down then saw your message.

I started it , run Factorio , it gave me the error , and then after i enabled GPU Scaling it allowed me to run it.

But i remember i had GPU Scaling before and it gave me the same error , then i read on the forums this might be the problem and disabled it ( Don't trust my memory though ) .

Can you explain why this is working ?

[amdmatt]

At this time no, but it's something I'm looking in to.

[executor2]

Thank you !

As long i can get my fix on games , i'm alright

[amdmatt]

Please try updating to Crimson 17.6.1 and see if this fixes the issue.

[executor2]

When i get home , will switch from GPU Scaling on to off.

[executor2]

I've been playing for a couple of days now , and the problem didn't occurred again .

Think the bug is solved.
