AOE 2 HD - Start up fail MessageBox(4112-Error): Failed to initialize draw system... ...main.cpp(312)

[TonyChrisostomou]

Hi,


I cannot play Age of Empires 2 HD (btw I did play a month ago). I've read it may be something to do with DirectX, or C++ redistributables for visual studio 2015.Can anyone help?





Here is what comes up in the error log:
