Could not initialize Direct3D
I recently bought this game and upon trying to run it for the first time i get the error message,"Could not initialize Direct3D. Make sure you have current video drivers and close any other applications that might be running. You will Need a video card that supports at least pixel shader version 1.2. Unfortunately, this error cannot be recovered". I have updated and installed the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer, ran the DirectX installer located in "_CommonRedist" in the installed folder, and updated my graphics driver. Looking around on the internet i have also tried various other methods such as running it directly from the installed location rather then through Steam, run as administrator, run in 640 x 480 screen resolution, run in compatibility mode windows 98/ME, and my display color depth is set at 32bit. I have ran the TFTB Support Tool and uploaded the results to https://www.sendspace.com/file/8wpdh1 . Thanks for reading and i would appreciate any help that you guys may give.

I apologize for the inconvenience. After looking over your Support Tool information, you should be able to run the game successfully. I recommend first try Verifying your Game Cache, then restart the game. If this does not resolve the issue you can also try uninstalling the game by right-clicking the game in your Steam Library, and clicking 'Delete Local Content', then reinstall the game to the default file path, and see if you are then able to start the game successfully.
Thank you very much for your help. Verifying the game cache solved the problem and now i am excited that i get to play the game.
You're welcome, enjoy the game!
