Mafia Scene - Mafia I & II Game Fan Site

Hello everyone,


 




 


 




I'm trying to run Mafia: The city of lost heaven on windows 8.1, and I get this error: 


 




"Init error 4214 Unsuported.." I opened error log, and it says: "ERROR! DirectX version is lower 8.1 !"


 




 


 




So, of course i'm running dx 11, can't install lower versions.


 




 


 




Searched internet, tried few things: http://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/articles/201332423-Init-Error-4215-or-4205-when-I-try-to-start-Mafia (http://support.2k.com/hc/en-us/articles/201332423-Init-Error-4215-or-4205-when-I-try-to-start-Mafia)


 


 




Changing game settings doesn't help, and of course i think since windows vista, there's no Hardware Sound Acceleration settings.


 




Of course i tried to run as admin, compatibility modes. No luck.


 




 


 




So i'm really stuck with this problem.


 


 

Damn, this looks sad. I've never had win8 or a dx11 GPU, but I've never encountered this problem neither with dx9 nor dx10 (above 8.1, according to the same logic). So not sure if I can help you. Let's hope some other members know of a way to cope with this problem


 




 


 




Edit:


 




 


 




Found a thread on this topic, but it's in Russian, and as it seems, still with no solution:

They say it must be the fault of Windows 8.1 OS itself and it's interfering with something in Mafia
