This update includes a fix aimed at improving graphics compatibility, particularly on some laptops.

🖥️ Launch issue with NVIDIA GTX 950M graphics cards (laptops)

On some laptops equipped with two graphics cards an NVIDIA GTX 950M and an Intel HD Graphics 530 integrated into the CPU, the game could display a white screen at launch, without any error message.

This issue is related to automatic GPU switching (Optimus) and OpenGL rendering on certain NVIDIA configurations.

A fix has been deployed to improve compatibility and prevent this startup issue.

👉 If the issue persists after the update

In rare cases, it may still be necessary to apply the following temporary workaround, which consists of forcing the use of the integrated Intel graphics card, which is less powerful but more stable in this specific context.

Steps to follow

Right click on the desktop

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel

Go to Manage 3D settings

Open the Program Settings tab

Add the game executable

Under Preferred graphics processor, select Integrated graphics (Intel HD Graphics 530)

Click Apply

Restart the game

A test fix has been deployed to address the issue where achievements do not unlock on Mac M1/M2 (Apple Silicon).

Since I do not own a Mac to test this directly, I cannot guarantee 100% that the issue is fully resolved yet. Your feedback is therefore very important to confirm whether this fix works on your setup.
