@svelezsaffon Did you force Godot to run on your dedicated GPU? Try right-clicking the Godot executable and use the Run with graphics processor option to try both GPUs available.

@Calinou thanks for your response, apologies for not giving more info about that. But I am not sure how to force it on dedicated GPU, unless my computer is forcing it without me knowing. I am also not seeing the option you mention.

Let me try dig a bit more

@Calinou after digging a bit more, I changed the NVidia settings to autos elect and use both GPUs, and issue persisted

Then I tried to force use it NVIDIA gpus, and the issue persisted.

Then I tried to use the integrated GPU and the issue persisted.

If I ran the .cmd file that comes inside the .zip file, the following error is displayed on the console

Do you have a compatible Vulkan installable client driver (ICD) installed?

If I ran the .cmd file that comes inside the .zip file, the following error is displayed on the console

The OBS messages can be ignored as per #56198, but it seems that Godot fails to find any GPU that supports Vulkan on your system. Are your graphics drivers fully up-to-date from AMD and NVIDIA (not your laptop OEM or Windows Update)?

[svelezsaffon]

@Calinou NVIDIA GPU is on the latest driver

[svelezsaffon]

@Calinou I just updated AMD graphics drivers and godot 4 ran perfectly.

@Calinou i forgot to thank you for taking the time on this!
