Launcher Failing

This is a recurring bug I'm having that happens every time I attempt to launch the game. The patcher opens, it shows the "Checking resources" message, and then crashes, and gives two messages:

"Failed creating the Direct3D device."
and
"DXUTCreateDevice failed"

A short snippet of the rain SFX from the title screen also plays and cuts out - just a fraction of a second.

I'm not sure what caused this bug, it had been working fin for me - the most likely issue I can think of is because I updated my graphics drivers...
Any advice on how to fix this is most welcome!

Cheers
That does look like graphics card drivers are responsible - I'd suggest deleting your config file, maybe? It may be attempting to use game settings that are no longer possible. You can find it in My Documents/My Games/Path of Exile/production_config.ini

Thankyou!
Deleting the config file solved the problem and the game now runs fine.

Cheers!
