Hello, I just reinstalled AoC using the online downloader. It patched completely overnight (I haven't bought the expansion yet), but upon pressing START it doesn't run, just shows the AoC opening and closes, with the error being "Failed to intitialixe rendering subsystem". I've tried the Repair/Verify tool, but it didn't do any good. I've also tried running in windowed mode at 1024x768 but to no avail. I'm absolutely certain it's to do with my graphics card, seeing as it used to run on my old ATI 2600 XT about a year ago.

Here are my specs:

CPU: Intel Pentium D 945 Presler 3.4GHz
GPU: Radeon HD5770
RAM: 2GB

If more info is needed just say. Thanks

Couple things to try if you haven't already:

Newest Radeon driver: HERE!
Newest DirectX driver: HERE!

Im having the same problem. "Failed to initialize rendering subsystem"
My card does support SM2.0 it supports 5.0 so im quiet confused what could be the problem, ill try reinstalling now. But it seems like this error isnt so clientsided (drivers or **** like that)

Well, it can't be on Server side problem as thousands players play the game at moment. I'm pretty sure that re-installing the game won't help.

-Do you have updated AMD GPU drivers and Directx?
-What motherboard you have? You might have integrated GFX which might be still enabled.
-Do you have tried to launch game in DX9 mode or only in DX10? You could try those both and see if it is same. (DirectX 10 exe can be found in Age of Conan folder)
