D3 doesn't play under Windows 8.1 with latest drivers(1)Category: Technical SupportAugust-19-2013 5:19 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
D3 stopped playing under Windows 8.1 with the latest Nvidia drivers.

I receive a graphics error right after i hit play. The game says D3D Device could not be started.
(in a different game i get a physics engine error)

Any idea when support should be expected?

Hello,

This Operating System is not released yet, and if you do encounter issues with it, we generally cannot help.

That said, if you're experiencing graphical issues on multiple games, it would be worth trying to downgrade your graphics drivers to a previous version, as per this post:

As this is a separate issue DilliciousZ3 and the thread is getting quite old now, I'm going to lock it. This sounds like a possible GPU issue though. Try updating your OS and graphics drivers (make sure you do a clean install).

Scan and repair Diablo III and reset user options in the the Battle.net Desktop App game settings menu.

If the issue persists, please open a new thread with a Dxdiag and MSinfo report.

Thanks!
