D3 will not start, even after reinstall,game is running(1)Category: Technical SupportJuly-17-2014 1:27 PM PDT (8 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I have been playing ROS for quite some time, my computer had to be repaired and in the process they did a full reinstall of my computer. I have downloaded the latest AMD drivers and upon trying to run D3 I get following message:

AMD radeon 6900 not supported. I never got this message before. Also D3 is telling me Im running windows xp service pack 3, but in fact I am running windows 7 servicepack 1, what gives? (not sure if that is releveant but thought Id mention it just in case). Anyways I go ahead and press "play anyaway" button, the ROS sign starts loading but then nothing happens. Battle.net is telling me the game is running, and I can see it if i press "ctrl+alt+delete", but I cant actually enter the game. Diablo3.exe is running, but there is no game actually running.

What can I do? Everything has been a clean install after the repair guys formatted everything. I tried run as administrator, I tried compatible with windows xp and service pack 3, still nothing. The only thing that seperates my settings now and before the "repair" is I updated the drviers for my video card. Hopefully I dont have to revert to my old drivers which were from 2007 (and then it worked)

Im running out of options, please help!

Revert any compatibility changes you've added, none should ever be needed really.

Then post your dxdiag info please. You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste it ALL here.

Could you also post your D3Prefs.txt file? It's located in the My Documents\Diablo III folder.

Avantor,

Are you still getting the "not supported" message for your video card and the one stating you're on Windows XP SP3?

Avantor,

That shouldn't have been necessary unless you've been trying to run/install the game in a Virtual Machine.

Avantor,

Ok, thanks for the info. I'll file it away as a possible troubleshooting step to check when the symptoms you described present themselves.
