Hello, I have just bought the game on GOG and i was rather exited to play it, unfortunately after install i try and run the game and i get the following message "FATAL PROBLEM:
-->Failed to create Direct3D Device. Cannot continue."
and it closes.
I have an Nvidia geforce gtx 760.
8gb of Ram
Another thing i should mention, i am using a 40" TV, not a monitor. But i fail to see that causing the problem.
Thanks for any help :D

What's the screen resolution of this TV?

1. Install DirectX 9.0c (even if you did this before)
2. Install Unofficial Patch 1.4: http://www.easywinclan.forummotion.com/t1636-ee2-1.4
(it supports 1920x1080p)

I hope it helps.

Hey, Thanks for the patch, but when i run it, it says that EE2 isnt installed. I downloaded it through the GOG downloader and installed it using the setup it downloaded. I checked the 1.2 patch first because it said it needed that before the 1.4 patch. The Resolution for the screen in 1920 x 1080. Thanks for any help :D

Sorry for late reply.
I think Gog.com version already has got patch 1.2.
Please just install Unofficial Patch 1.4 (the first or the second installation version).
