Hi there! Just seeing if other people have the same issue that I have.

My i7 Geforce gtx 1650 laptop does play the game, but it feels a bit slow whenin dx11, a bit like theres a delay, or if my chars are moving through denser air.

If I switch to Vulkan the performance is way better and way more snappy. Only thing is that it crashes every time I get into a dialog.

So I am wondering if others do have the same problem, or have some insights. TYVM!

I have gtx 1650 and ryzen 5500u and mine seems to run fine in dx11, never crashed only thing is my cpu reaches 95° then i get a bit of throttling but i have no idea what to do about it, girlfriend has i5 and same gpu and her game runs perfectly on low settings also on dx11, my game won't even launch in vulkan

Edit: you can check which gpu your game is using under graphics settings, one of the first options is Display Adapter

Yeah I managed to set my nvidia card as a default for everyything through regedit. Silly win10 that it defaulted me to the 'intel display adapter' when it has a 1650 to put to use. It works fine now.

Cheers for your reaction, though!

It probably uses Intel by default to save power.

Maybe, it shouldn't when it's connected to the mains.

It's bizarre that it isn't clear which card it uses, and that changing the default is through regedit instead of display settings...
