How to fix error d3derr-invalidcall in Windows 11

Solution Steps

1. 1 Press Windows key + R, type 'appwiz.cpl' and press Enter to open Programs and Features. Find your game, right-click it, and select 'Repair' if available. This fixes corrupted game files without reinstalling.
2. 2 If your game is on Steam, open your library, right-click the game, select 'Properties', go to 'Local Files', and click 'Verify integrity of game files'. Steam will download any missing or corrupted files.
3. 3 Update your GPU driver to the latest version. Press Windows key + X, select 'Device Manager', expand 'Display adapters', right-click your GPU, and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically'. This ensures the driver supports the game's features.
4. 4 If the game uses mods, disable them temporarily. Move the mod files out of the game folder (e.g., to your Desktop) and try launching the game. Mods can cause invalid calls if they're outdated.
5. 5 Run the game in compatibility mode. Right-click the game's .exe file, select 'Properties', go to 'Compatibility' tab, and check 'Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8'. This can help if the game is old.
6. 6 Check if your GPU supports the game's required DirectX version. Press Windows key + R, type 'dxdiag' and press Enter. Look at the 'Display' tab — it shows your DirectX version. If it's lower than the game requires, you may need a new GPU.
