Hey so I managed to get it to work this was the steps. It has to be done in this order Step 1 — Full settings reset Even if you reinstalled, these files stay behind. Press Windows + R Copy code: %localappdata% Delete the entire inZOI folder Then also check: Documents Delete any inZOI folder …

Have you already tried to run the NVIDIA app / NVIDIA experience and optimized the inZOI settings with it? This might help to tone settings down, so you can enter the game again.

Hi yes I have and it still does the same thing.

Does it behave differently when you’re starting the game through the NVIDIA app? :thinking:

No it does the same thing doesn’t matter how I boot it up

Did you verify the files via Steam? Which other programs are running while you’re trying to boot up the game? Maybe you can turn a few of them off?

I did verify files. I reinstalled the game. I deleted any mod files. I clean installed my drivers. No background app is running while I load the game.

Thanks for your detailed replies :folded_hands: Did you take a look at the GPU settings for games in general and for inZOI? It might be an issue, that some software updates rewired the booting settings and now the game uses your “small graphics card” instead of the NVIDIA one? :thinking:

Hi, so it is using the correct graphics card

Hi i have tried all of these and still nothing
