Hi,

 

it looks like your graphics card is to old for this game. It doesn't have directX 11 support.

 

 

@brandonburch1611 could you also post your specs.

Good Luck

Hi crinrict,

I may have posted this to the wrong page. I'm just getting used to moving around on these forums.

Here is the DxDiag info you asked for:

I've attached it with the paperclip below. Is that the way it works?

Thanks,

Hi, had the same issue and just managed to solve it by accidentally checking which programs show up in my notification area. There is Unravel LAV Splitter. Did a search and installed LAV filters from https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases . Did couple more steps for verification. K-Lite codec pack has to be installed and LAV filters have to be installed on top.

Thank you, mate. Only your advice was relevant to this topic. Totally fixed my issue with the game.

Hi! Maybe it helps someone. I have a laptop with intel integrated video card and nvidia card. For some reason game doesn't choose nvidia by default. What helped for me was:

right click on unravel.exe -> run with graphics processor -> choose default graphics processor -> global settings -> preferred graphics processor: high-performance nvidia processor -> apply.

And game worked like charm!

I am not sure though if it is good idea to leave it like that, so after playing the game I change settings back to auto-select.

Had this same problem, but made Unravel work by disabling G-sync in the NIVIDIA Control Panel.
