Hi all,

I Cant start my COH 2 game. When doing so this message is displaed: "Failed to find supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for Company of Heroes 2. Verify that DirectX is prorperly installed and that you have the lates drivers for your system.

The game worked fine fore likea 2 months ago, but now it doesent start.

I have a Lenovo Y50, 16 GB ram, Nvidia 960, SSD, Intel 4600 (integrated).

Do anybody know a solution to this issue?

The error seems pretty clear:
Check if DirectX is installed
Check for graphic card drivers (your NVIDIA not the integrated Intel one) --> visit NVIDIA website to manually look for the latest drivers. Dont let windows search on its own
EDIT: NVIDIA Drivers

Hope you can fix your problem

I tried this:
1. Reinstalled COH2
2. Updated to latest graphics drivers (both NVidia and Intel)
3. Updated to latest DirectX drivers

But still the same problem.

looks to me like coh2 tries to access you internal gpu instead of the 960. Does your Laptop have a switch or an option to change that? do other games work?

Seems it's an NVidia incompatibility problem after win10 Creators Update.

Have found solution as given below:
"
I knew that nvidia updated the same date as windows 10 creator mode arrived, so I went into that control panel. There, I found an option to override system settings for screen size etc. So I choose "adjust desktop size and position"---> "full-screen" "override scaling mode set by games and programs"."

It's working now.

Thank you QmaPL, your trick worked! I was so mad at Windows update breaking the game, thank you again.

I have the same problem but i can not seem to find the option which is manetioned above. I only have access to 3D settings... Any other suggestions? Would refreshing windows help perhaps? I am on windows 10 and have an Nvidea GT555M

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
