The full error reads:

Unable to initialize 3D output. Please verify that you have installed Directx9 and an updated video driver

I encounter this error if I enable 3D stereo surround on the game and try to restart it. It seems that by disabling Nvidia 3D Vision on the control panel will fix this, however, I can’t enable 3D surround on the game then.

For reference I am using a GTX670 with the latest drivers (306.02) and using the 3D TV Play display option for 3D Vision though an hdmi cable.

I hope you guys fix this sooner rather than later as the last stress test before the game went live had fixed this same problem from a previous build/ stress test.

The issue brought up in the OP will be addressed in the next patch. Also make sure you are running in 120hz and with a 3D compatible display.
