Hey!

I asked chat GPT to help you, and here's his response:
- Note that if anything happened to your computer while trying to fix it, I'm not responsible of it, I'm just giving suggestions and solutions to try.

Chat GPT said :

Thanks for the detailed info! You're saying that in Counter-Strike Nexon: Zombies, when you try to enable Hardware Acceleration (likely in the video settings), the checkbox disappears or unchecks itself when you hit Apply or OK — and you're using an NVIDIA GT 520M GPU.

That issue typically points to a problem with driver compatibility, GPU support, or DirectX/OpenGL configuration. Here's a step-by-step guide to help fix it:

✅ 1. Check DirectX Support
CSN:Z is based on GoldSrc (CS 1.6 engine), which relies on DirectX 9 or earlier. Make sure your DirectX is installed correctly.

Press Win + R → type dxdiag → press Enter

Check:

DirectX Version (should be 11 or higher — GT 520M supports up to DirectX 11)

Display tab → Look for anything like “Not Available” or “Disabled” under DirectDraw/Direct3D/AGP Texture

✅ 2. Update or Reinstall Your NVIDIA Drivers
Outdated or broken drivers often cause hardware acceleration to fail.

Go to NVIDIA’s Driver Download Page: {LINK REMOVED}https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Select:

Product Series: GeForce 500M Series (Notebooks)

Product: GeForce GT 520M

OS: Your exact Windows version (e.g., Windows 10 64-bit)

Download and install the latest driver

Reboot your PC

✅ 3. Set CSN:Z to Use NVIDIA GPU (if you’re on a laptop)
Sometimes the game defaults to the integrated GPU (Intel HD), which can’t do proper acceleration.

Open NVIDIA Control Panel

Go to Manage 3D Settings → Program Settings

Add csnz.exe (or the game’s launcher) if not already there

Set Preferred Graphics Processor to High-performance NVIDIA processor

Click Apply and restart the game

✅ 4. Run as Administrator / Compatibility Mode
Sometimes game settings fail to apply due to permissions.

Right-click csnz.exe or launcher

Click Properties → Compatibility

Check Run this program as administrator

Also try checking Run in compatibility mode for Windows 7 or XP

Apply, then try changing the hardware acceleration again

✅ 5. Force Launch in D3D or OpenGL Mode
If the in-game setting fails, you can force the rendering mode:

Right-click on CSN:Z in your Steam Library

Choose Properties

In the Launch Options, try adding one of these:

-gl → forces OpenGL

-d3d → forces Direct3D

-w 1280 -h 720 → forces windowed mode with resolution, useful for testing

Then launch the game and see if hardware acceleration works.

🔧 If Nothing Works
Try resetting all graphics settings:

Go to:

makefile
Copy
Edit
C:\Users\<YourUser>\Documents\CSNZ\userconfig.cfg
or similar folder where CSN:Z saves user settings.

Delete or rename the file to reset video config.

Let me know if you want help with your dxdiag output or the NVIDIA Control Panel. You can also upload screenshots if anything seems off!
