    I had this same issue, Direct3D error 0x0x8876086a (D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE) listing 18 errors and such !!!!!!! This is how I solved my issue . Open Nvidia Geforce control panel . Click on "Manage 3D settings" Then click "Programs settings" tab Look for CNC3Launcher. If it's not listed click "ADD" then click "Browse" to tell it where the CNCLauncher.exe is . Mine was E:\Program Files (x86)\Origin\Command and Conquer 3 TW and KW\CNCLauncher. Once it's added to the list scroll down to preferred refresh rate and set it to "Application-controlled" then click "Apply" That's it ! Good luck and I hope this helps :-)

    What about AMD Control???

    The Direct3D Error hasn't happened before.

    Please help?
