Summary of the Problem:
-The game crashes immediately after launching when using my dedicated NVIDIA RTX 4060 graphics card. The error message is a DeviceLost error.
Error Message:
-The exact error message is: 2B88B97E-91F3-4C29-9023-05E53DB06CAD.
System Specifications:
-Operating System: Windows 11
-Processor (CPU): Intel(R) Core™ i5-14450HX
-Graphics (GPU): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
-System Memory (RAM): 16GB
-Driver Version: 581.29 (DCH)
Troubleshooting Steps Already Taken:
-Performed multiple clean uninstalls of all graphics drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in Safe Mode.
-Reinstalled the latest NVIDIA “Game Ready” driver (GRD) and the latest “Studio” driver (SD) with a clean installation.
-Adjusted Windows Graphics Settings and NVIDIA Control Panel to force the game to use the dedicated GPU.
-Disabled all in-game overlays from applications like Discord and Omen Gaming Hub.
Key Observation / Diagnostic Clue:
-When using my integrated graphics card, the game launches and runs correctly, although it is very slow. The crash and the DeviceLost error only occur when the game attempts to use the dedicated NVIDIA RTX 4060. This strongly suggests a driver or hardware conflict specific to the dedicated GPU.
I have done extensive troubleshooting and provided all the details I can. Thank you for your time and assistance, as I really, really want to play the game. This might be my all-time favorite.
