D3DERR_INVALIDDEVICE

[AnthonyJAttard]

Just installed Chancellorsville (as part of Gettysburg) and the menu buttons are empty/blank.

Here is the current log file:

Game Launched

Would a complete reinstall be appropriate with Chancellorsville as a separate game?

... oops [X(]

Should have mentioned that I am running Windows 8 64Bit.

All I needed to do was to set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and set admin rights.

I Think the latest update broke my game, i get the same error

Help appreciated.

Game shouldn't be made so that it has to run in admin mode.
