Problems with the game on Windows 11

[TheLisonFox]

I haven't seen anyone write about playing this game on Windows 11, so I have to write. After purchasing the game on my laptop with Windows 11 Home, the game crashes in the "free drive" mode for most vehicles, especially vehicles from the Steam Workshop. Although sometimes the maps start, they crash, e.g. after starting the vehicle's engine or when changing the camera. Also one of the exams is messed up and I think I made a mistake. I suspect it's a system fault, but I'm not sure because no one wrote about it.

Hello,

Please note that laptops (any) and computers with integrated video cards are not officially supported.

You can try advices below, but we cannot guarantee correct game working on laptops or computers with integrated graphics.

If your PC has both – discrete and integrated video cards, then maybe the game uses the integrated one for some reason. Try forcing the game to the dedicated one – right click on the game shortcut and select Run with GPU <your dedicated video card>. Or if you don’t have this option in the context menu, you can follow these advices – https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/how-to/pc-components/how-set-default-graphics-card-3612668/

But if your laptop has an integrated graphics only – 99% the game will not work.

1. Windows 11 shouldn't be a problem with CCD by itself
2. If you have Intel graphics, you'll likely need DXVK. This was required for me on Intel UHD 630.

You need DXVK 1.10.3: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases/tag/v1.10.3

And to take "dxvk-1.10.3\x32\d3d11.dll" and "dxvk-1.10.3\x32\dxgi.dll" and drop them into the "Steam\steamapps\common\City Car Driving\bin\win32" folder. In other words, take DXVK's 32-bit d3d11 and dxgi dlls and put them next to CCD's starter exe.

While this fixes Intel graphics, this would also be beneficial for AMD graphics as the overhead is less with Vulkan (DXVK) than direct D3D11, even after their 22.5.2+ driver mess.

Hello. Thank you for your help. After changing from the integrated to the Nvidia graphics card, everything started working. Have a nice day

Problem has been solved. After changing the card from integrated to nvidia, everything works
