DirectX Error

★★★★★ Novice

Hello all,

 

I just received NFS Rivals in the mail today, since I preordered the disk version. I installed it, and went through everything, but when I launched the game, it came up with a DirectX error. The error is as follows: DirectX function "CreatePixelShader for (null)" failed with E_INVALIDARG ("An invalid parameter was passed to the returning function."). GPU: "Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000", Driver: Unknown

My PC specs are up to date, and they are at least at the minimum requirement. Is this error occuring because I do not have an NVidia or ATI video card?

 

Thanks in advance for the support.

The Directx Error “CreatePixelShader” has been investigated; however this error is not caused by the game.

In order to assist players who are experiencing this issue; we have brought together some workarounds and troubleshooting steps.

 

Make sure Windows and all the drivers are up-to-date.

 

Updating graphics driver

Reinstalling DirectX

If you have not tried yet please reinstall DirectX from the application available in the Game Folder.

By default the folder is located here:

  • C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Rivals\__Installer\directx\redist

Once you have opened the redist folder, sort the list by type so you can easily find DXSETUP.

This is an application - Double-click in order to reinstall DirectX and restart the computer.

 

Different error message

Some players are experiencing a different DirectX error, such as:

  • DIG_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED or
  • DIG_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

If so, we recommend the following troubleshooting steps available in this message.

 

Workaround recommended by a community member

Please note: This method only works for the people who are having another graphic card installed in the computer.

Hi Bros, I hope this would solve the problem for people who are having secondary graphic card installed such as Nvidia, AMD, ATI etc.

Go to the My computer -> properties

                  Properties    -> Device Manager

In Device Manager, go to Display adapters, in that right click Intel(R)  HD graphics 3000 and then click disable and now run the NFS rivals and make sure that the another graphic card is enabled.

Please note : This method only works for the people who are having another graphic card installed in the computer.

 

This solved for me and NFS Rivals runs perfectly.I hope this solves for U people too.

i have similar error that says "DirectX function "GetDeviceRemovedReason' failed with DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG ("The application's device failed due to badly formed commands sent by the application. This is a design-time issue that should be Investigated and fixed.")."

just after some digging in google i have found a solution. i have 64 bits pc and the default is to run in 64. but when i run it in 32bits (x86) no error for me.

I disabled my graphic card driver and game started successfully, but after displaying intro it again showed error.So the problem is with graphic card and/or directX, but no solutions yet.
