How to fix ‘Failed to create D3D device’ in CS:GO

Ran into this error last week! What worked for me was updating my graphics card drivers and making sure my DirectX version was up to date. If that doesn't do the trick, try launching CS:GO with the '-windowed' launch option. You can add this by right-clicking on CS:GO in your Steam library, selecting 'Properties', then 'Set Launch Options', and typing in '-windowed'. Hope this gets you back to defusing bombs in no time!

Just set your game to run in windowed mode by adding '-windowed' to your launch options. Easy peasy.

Honestly, I just ignored it and played something else. CS:GO will sort itself out eventually, or not. Plenty of fish in the sea.

Double-check your PC meets CS:GO's system requirements. This error sometimes pops up if your hardware is struggling to keep up with the game's demands. Also, verify the integrity of game files through Steam. Sometimes a corrupted file is the culprit and a quick verification fixes everything.
