this error shows up after the CD check and resolution change... i installed the game then immediately installed the 1.09 English patch prior to running the game at all. (i have already installed the latest bi-monthly release of direct X.)

What's your videocard? Make sure it meets the minimum requirements of the game. You may require a certain feature your card can't do.

A quick Google search of your error message (Direct3D error 0x0x8876086a) reveals that it may be an issue with your drivers. Have you updated them at all recently?

yea, i also did a quick google search and have read through the first 15 pages at EA forums about the issue's... they started way back with v1.01 and still exist in v1.09 o0. i have done everything suggested by EA and just like everyone at EA Forums, it has NO effect.

ill keep the game since i got it half price, and will one day get to play it in all its EA quality glory :P (i do of course believe EA sucks)
