Well unfortunately I could not try Neverwinter this last beta weekend. Have yet to play at all and its all because of this error every time the game starts:

Couldn't create D3D device. IDirect3D9::CreateDevice failed with hr D3DERR_INVALIDCALL (0x8876086c)

Running a Lenovo laptop with an AMD A8-3500M APU, 8 gigs of ram, and Windows 7 64bit. I have the latest AMD drivers, Windows is updated, and Direct X is fully updated. Other games play fine so I'm at a loss. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction so I can attempt to finally try Neverwinter out.

EDIT: Turns out Aero was preventing it from starting. Tried turning it off on a whim and the game starts up.

    Same here, if you search on google, after you type Couldn't create D3D device instantly two games popup in the autosearch. Those being Star Trek Online and Champions Online. Another game touched by the hand that turns everything to sh*t, Cryptic Studios.
