Re: DDRAW.DLL Error code = 80070057

@ksheng91 This error is most likely caused by the graphics driver doing something stupid and/or breaking something inside DirectX (ddraw.dll). The following might fix the issue, but can't guarantee it.

Does your Laptop have a dedicated graphics card or just the one built into the CPU?

Install the latest Intel GPU driver from here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19344/intel-graphics-windows-dch-drivers.html

And if you've got a dedicated AMD or Nvidia card built-in, too, also grab their drivers.

If this doesn't solve the problem, find the game's executable, right click it, go to Properties, Compatibility tab, and try changing that to Windows 7 for example. If this doesn't work either, just disable the compatibility options again and wait for other suggestions.

  • @Tmpst I have Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics and I followed your link provided and downloaded the available driver and when I was about to begin installing, the driver told I have a newer installed in my laptop (3 days old).

    And, running the game in Windows 7 didn't work neither...
