The cause of the error is the standard system driver.
It is possible that the computer's graphics adapter has all the functions to support the game. But when installing or reinstalling the Windows operating system, the system driver is installed by default. It supports only the basic functions that are needed to display the desktop, view videos with low and medium resolution and other actions. To activate all the technologies and functions of the video card, you need to download and install a special driver for this model.
If the adapter was purchased with a computer in a store, then the user should keep the original driver disk. In this case, the disc must be inserted into the drive of the computer and install all the necessary software. After rebooting, the computer will not show a message with the error "Your graphics hardware does not support all features (CSM)", but will run games without problems.
If you do not have the original driver, you need to download it from the official website of the video card manufacturer. To find out the name of the manufacturer, you can peep it on the box in which the video card was delivered. If there is no box, and the video card was bought from other users with it, then the GPU-Z utility is perfect in this situation. It is small in size and does not need to be installed. Run the utility and in the “Name” column you can see its model and company. You just need to go to the official website and find the driver you need in the search window.

Resolving the "Your graphics hardware ..." error by replacing .dll files
If all necessary drivers are installed on your PC, but the error “Your graphics hardware doesn’t support all the features” (CSM) needed to run this application anyway appears, then you need to try to replace some files of the dynamic library. To do this, follow the link https://www.dll.ru/files/d3d9-dll.html and download 2 files: one for a 64-bit system, the other for 32. But before that you need to select the version of the operating system, which is installed on your computer.
Then you need to replace the files with the same name "d3d9" that are on the system disk (usually the C: \ drive) with the ones just downloaded.
- Open the system volume, select the Windows folder and look for the System folder in it.
- Next, in the search bar of this folder, to simplify the task, we write the query “d3d9” without quotes and replace it with the downloaded file for the 32-bit system. After downloading, it is advisable to rename the folder with the file and specify the bit width in order not to get confused later.
- After that, open the Windows folder again, look for SysWOW64 in it, open it and write “d3d9” in the search bar. It should be replaced with a downloaded file for a 64-bit system. Each action is confirmed by pressing the button "Apply" and "Ok."
