i wrote the answer of your question in my 1th post.
"Direct3D cannot be generated. Please make sure that the system is equipped with the latest graphics drivers."
means: didnt start over STEAM and FAF...
windowed=no problem

Do some one have the replay for final, or is there a link?
thx

@katharsas
f.. my life

%s was the missing part in the command /windowed 1900 1080 and now? tata , now i can play in windowed mode.

BUT why only in windowed mode? as a software nerd i have no plan, clue.
Any ideas?

@youthenoob
i did install all versions c++runtime (2005-now) but same problem..
but guys, thx for your help until now

Hi Guys. Need your help.

The_after update from Win7 to WIN10_Story..

there is a Info from WIN when i start it with FAF-client
"Direct3D cannot be generated. Please make sure that the system is equipped with the latest graphics drivers.

short time later there is the info from FAF_client

"java.lang.RuntimeException: Forged Alliance Crashed with exit code 1. See game_14962170.log for more information
at com.faforever.client.game.GameService.lambda$spawnTerminationListener$43(GameService.java:696)
at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1130)
at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:630)
at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:832)"

the log file says:
"warning: GAL Exception: file : c:\work\rts\main\code\src\libs\gpggal\DeviceD3D9.cpp(189)
error: unable to create device
warning: GAL Exception: file : c:\work\rts\main\code\src\libs\gpggal\DeviceD3D9.cpp(189)
error: unable to create device"

I got the same WIN error message when I start via Steam. There I got the problem under control with the command line parameter: / windowed 1900 1080 (yes, it is not optimal to only play in the window)

But I have absolutely no idea how to do this under the FAF client ..... / windowed 1900 1080 somehow doesn't work in the command line.
Some Ideas/help? thx

For INFO: i did reinstall DirectX9 > didnt solve the problem
and yes, under WIN7 my videocard could handle the game and has the newest drivers..
