I get the first splash screen, click 'play' and about 5 seconds later get an unhelpful grey box stating 'Error Failed to initialize game.'

Any clues? Have tried restarting. Windows 10.

Edit: Repair tool did not help. Am reinstalling from scratch now.

Reinstalled, no change.

On a whim I put the game config changes from the Direct 3D thread and that fixed my issue.

I'm having the same issue. I'm getting the "Failed to initialize game!" error after installing the patch. Also running Windows 10 x64. It was working this morning....

Okay, SSE is correct. This fixes the issue: http://mwomercs.com/...irect3d-errors/

SSE, did YellowDart's suggestion work for you? I'm having the same issue and the DX fixes don't seem to resolve it for me.
