Game won't start

DirectX 12 is not supported on your system. Try running without the -dx12 or -d3d12 command line argument.

The drivers are up to date at least I think. Anyone have a fix?

What's your GPU? Are you running Windows 10 or 11 or a previous version?

Laptop, eh ?
As usual double check the system runs in high power mode (re-plug power cord, set High Performance power plan in Windows, and set Nvidia to be primary GPU in Nvidia Control Panel).

In Nvidia Control panel or in geforce Experience (if you have this) check for driver family version and write it here.

The Driver Version is 417.88 according to the NVIDIA control panel and how do I change the power plan to high?

Update your GPU driver as current Nvidia Driver family is R535 or something higher, specifically 546.01 is current Game Ready Driver.
GTX1650 is supported by latest driver so it should be possible.

Can i update it through the website or download it?

Yes you can search for the driver manually through Nvidia website or use Geforce Experience as well.

It's not giving me the error but it's kind of loading a bit slow. Rn it's just a black screen. Actually it's just using a lot of CPU any advice?

This happened on my first boot-up. I had to close it from Steam and try again. Worked on the 2nd try. This is probably not helpful for your situation, but it is something that needs to be looked into.

Game is playing fine but cutscenes are choppy. Same for you?

Tere is a shader compilation step on first boot and it takes tiome on low end CPU.
