Failed with Error: -2005530518 Hello, I'm getting an error when I launch Super Meat Boy on my Windows XP system: --------------------------- Fatal Error --------------------------- Could not create graphics device. Failed with Error: -2005530518 Format: 22 Res: 640 x 480 Windowed: 1 --------------Driver Details-------------- Driver: nv4_disp.dll Description: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX Device Name: \\.\DISPLAY1 Product: 6 Version: 14 SubVersion: 12 Build: 9610 --------------------------- OK --------------------------- The really odd thing about this is that I *did* get it running before now. I had been playing it for a bit, then needed to go back to Windows so I pressed the Windows key. When I came back to SMB, it gave me the "Team Meat has been sent a mini-dump" error, and then when I tried to start it again it gave me the above error, only that time the error said: --------------------------- Fatal Error --------------------------- Could not create graphics device.

Not sure why the newer error doesn't. Error code -2005530518 apparently means "Device does not support the queried technique.", according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms858172.aspx . I was playing it fine just a few seconds before, though. I have the latest drivers for my card (296.10), and I have the latest DirectX drivers available for Windows XP (9.0c, plus the Optional Components, which it turns out SMB needs but doesn't install by default).

Can't start my game. Error message "2005530518#D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE" Discussion in 'Questions and Support' started by error - PewterPlate, Aug 14, 2013. PewterPlate Expand Collapse Joined: Aug 14, 2013 Messages: 1 I just bought the game and was working on installing it. I was a the final stages, I launched the game and I get an error message "2005530518#D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE" I have already played the techdemo and that worked fine but for some reason the full game won't work. If anyone has any clue how to fix this please inform me as I would like to play the full version for error - 2005530518 the first time! Thanks, PewterPlate #1 PewterPlate, Aug 14, 2013 Last edited: Aug 14, 2013 moosedicks Expand Collapse Joined: Nov 4, 2012 Messages: 1,165 Edit: i think that's either a direct x or direct 3d error so you might want to see if you can update direct x. I don't know why you were unable to play the tech demo and not this. Maybe something went wrong with the install or the download you got is slightly corrupted? Try re-installing it though. #2 moosedicks, Aug 14, 2013 Last edited by a moderator: Oct 21, 2015 HCFX2011 Expand Collapse Joined: Oct 3, 2012 Messages: 19 I am having this same issue.

Error message "2005530518#D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE" Same error! I was playing the fully paid version since the get-go and now its not functioning. I am currently reinstalling my DX again to make sure everything is peaches. Will update when finished. Any help is appreciated. - - - Updated - - - All right, after some work I have found it is either a DX install problem or a bad GPU driver. Update both and it should function again.
