👉🏻 Your system IS detecting both GPUs correctly
👉🏻 BUT the game is still not consistently using the NVIDIA GPU
And more importantly…
⚠️ The behavior you described:
- Works once after reinstall
- Breaks again after reboot
- Random freezes / not responding
👉🏻 This is NOT normal GPU switching anymore
💡 What this actually points to:
This is most likely a Windows / driver-level instability issue, specifically:
🔴 Possible causes:
- Broken hybrid GPU switching (Optimus bug)
- Corrupted graphics driver state after reboot
- Windows 11 25H2 instability / bug
- Conflict between:
- Intel GPU driver
- NVIDIA driver
Thank you for all the details and screenshots.
This helps a lot.
At this point, since you have:
- Reinstalled the game multiple times
- Installed all required runtimes
- Updated drivers
- Even formatted your system
This is no longer a normal setup issue.
⚠️ Most likely cause:
Your system is not consistently using the correct GPU (RTX 4050), and this behavior after reboot suggests a driver or Windows-level issue, not the game itself.
🔧 What you should try next:
1. Clean reinstall GPU drivers (VERY important)
Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller):
- Remove BOTH:
- NVIDIA driver
- Intel GPU driver
Then reinstall:
- Intel GPU driver (from Intel website)
- NVIDIA driver (latest from NVIDIA)
2. Force GPU again AFTER reinstall
Redo:
- Windows Graphics Settings → High Performance
- NVIDIA Control Panel → High-performance GPU
3. Disable Hybrid GPU (if possible)
If your laptop supports it:
- BIOS → disable hybrid / enable dGPU only
4. Try older NVIDIA driver
Sometimes newest drivers break Unity games:
- Try a slightly older stable version
💡 Important:
Since the web version works, your save is fine.
This confirms the issue is local system-related, not a game bug.
If the issue still persists after this, it may be a deeper system conflict, and testing on another PC would help confirm it.
