fantasytears The delay isn't a problem; I'm always around. Your dxdiag shows that the driver for your GPU is from 2021, so the first step is to update it. Go here:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/
Choose GeForce, GTX 16 series (notebooks), GTX 1650, Windows 11, and download the Game Ready Driver. Run the installer as an admin: right-click the download and select "Run as administrator." Choose the Custom (not Express) install method, and check the box to perform a clean install. Restart afterwards and before trying to play.
If this doesn't help, please post a fresh dxdiag so I can look for new errors or other changes.
Hi there puzzlezaddict !
2021... oh boy. Thanks a lot for the instructions! I installed the new driver, restarted, and it seemed to help! But the longer I played the game, the laggier it was getting. Not as bad as before the driver update, though.
I'm starting to think that my system is just too old... the fan runs like crazy when I'm playing, but it's been this way since I purchased the laptop back in 2019 or so (to play the Sims 4...).
I've run and attached a new dxdiag just in case?
