Go to your Nvidia Control Panel --> Manage 3D Settings --> Restore.

After that it should be fine. Found this fix when I had trouble with it.

I saw all that, and played games like that with no issue, always had a chance to launch the game and tweak the settings to be able to play, but this is just BS from the devs

Folks please do make sure you drivers are up to date, also you need to restart steam so it can phone home properly and activate your game.

Have you read the system requirements and checked if your machine can run it before buying it?

The issue is not with game performance, but with an ability to even launch it, lol

[Razzle]

TLDR : Less than RTX 2060 = refund the game

if your GPU does not support raytracing it will not even be able to launch this game
its not a (its ok imma play it with low fps)
no it just wont launch at all.
Minimum is 2060 RTX
Nothing less.

There is no way around this, you cant troubleshoot this, this is so far the only pc game out there that I know of that REQUIRES raytracing to run.
so refund it
