    I've tried lately to play Company of Heroes, but im getting warning message :"Failed to find a supported hardware rendering device. Ensure that your system meets the minimum requirements for CoH. Verify that DirectX is properly installed and that you have the latest drivers for your system."

    Anyone knows what might wrong ?
    I got GeForce GT 540M and all new drivers are installed.
    Thanks

    Make sure it's whitelisted. sounds like it's not detecting your 540M cos you're still using the integrated GPU.

    I had an issue similar to this, if i rember correctly you have to disable the steam overlay while the game is running, either by killing the process or running the game seperatley,

    steam says its Thqs issue and thq says theres no issue at all,
