S&M S3E1 Could not initialize Direct3D

I have the same problem. All of Telltale's other games have been rock-solid, and so, hopefully they release a patch soon.

I found that if you disable monitors like others have done, the game works fine. If you are content with changing the game so that it plays in a window, then you can re-enable the other monitors and play the game normally.

While I am a little disappointed with this bug, the game now plays well for me (in a window), and so far, it is just as good as the other adventures.



(Specs include triple monitor setup with ati 5850, so it's either a multi-monitor or an ati issue)

I know you guys busted a hump putting this thing together but if I run S2 fine I thought maybe I would be able to move to the new season seamlessly. I know components change but the reason I liked Sam and Max had precious little to do with jaw-dropping graphics. Now I'm probably going to end up shelling out another 30 bucks to play the PS3 version. Good business for you short term, not so good long term.

If you don't want to upgrade your graphics card you can email support for a refund.

That would be great but I just want to swap it out. Is that possible at all?

Sure. You can buy and install a PCIe x16 Graphics card.
I would recommend a ATI Radeon 4670/5570 or better.
If you just want to get it to run cheaper ones will do too. If you want the maximum graphics details I would buy something in that performance range or above though.

I meant I wanted to just swap out the pc version for the ps3 version.

Thanks

I don't know, but i think it's unlikely that TTG has that kind of control over the PSN store. You'll know for sure if you e-mail support.
