Error Messages, Can't Launch

First error message:

"
The D3D device has a non-zero reference count, meaning some objects were not released



Second error message:

"
Failed resetting Direct3D device objects



Third error message:

"
DXUTCreateDevice failed



From there, the screen just stays black and doesn't load, with the window eventually closing itself.
After looking in the support forum:
*I'm not sure if my graphics card can handle Pixel Shader 3.0, and I don't know how to check.
*When I right click the shortcut there is no 'run game with the dedicated graphics card' option.
*I tried deleting 'production_config.ini', this did not solve the problem.

I'll try running the installer a second time to check that I have the correct installation of Direct X, but I don't remember seeing anything about that.
No suggestions or ideas?

i am getting the same error when i launch POE.. anyone have any solutions?
if u guys have ATI/AMD video cards make sure 100% you have at least pixel shader 3.0 supported by your video card and try this:
In the production_Config.ini found in the folder C:\Users\*your user*\My Documents\My games\Path of Exile\production_Config.ini open the file and where u see [DISPLAY] if u do not see your video card listed in the first line of the file i.e.

[DISPLAY]
adapter_name=*your video card name* <<<------ FIRST ROW
antialias_mode=0
bordeless_windowed_fullscreen=true
..
..
..
..

just manually write the first row like i wrote above and your video card name. in my case is Radeon x1950 Pro.

And the easiest way is to ask a friend of yours that has a different video card than ATI/AMD, ofcourse if his game launches, to give u his production_Config.ini and replace it/overwrite it with your older/current one that u have and u cannot launch the game.
Hope i helped u guys. Cheers!

Everything worked great till this last patch;now this error trolling. Production_config.ini shows everything that it needs to show. Any other solution to this?

I'm in the same boat. Maybe the Mac port guys will figure it out. I've tried quite a few things such as moving the game folder over to a windows VM to run packcheck, different versions of wine both 32 and 64 bit, deleting config file, you name it. *shrug* Stumped for now.
the D3D errors on Linux are almost always a glx driver issue, or DirectX version problem. Did you try to winetricks d3dx9_42?
