Error initializing SDL video

[seb14]

Hi all,

I installed ToME under Windows 10, initially from GOG, then also the free version from here, but I have so far been unable to launch the game. The te4_log.txt shows that it doesn't get very far:

WebCore config: library(C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Tales of Maj'Eyal\te4-web.dll) spawn(C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG Galaxy\Games\Tales of Maj'Eyal\cef3spawn.exe)
Loading WebCore: loaded!
[CPU] Detected 4 CPUs
OpenAL device available: OpenAL Soft (default OpenAL Soft)
Available video driver: windows
Available video driver: dummy
Error initializing SDL video: directx not available

As best as I can tell, directx is installed and working on my computer (dxdiag says version is DirectX 12, I have also re-installed it without any change). I'm using a relatively old notebook with Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics chip, but other games are running ok if they're not too demanding. Starting with --safe-mode produces the same outcome. Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?
