DLSS missing with multiple graphics adapters
- Check whether multiple GPUs are installed and WARDOGS uses the intended GeForce.
- In Windows: Settings → System → Display → Graphics → WARDOGS → Options → High performance. Start here on laptops.
- With multiple dedicated cards, test the adapter index. 0 selects the first adapter; test 1 separately if appropriate.
-graphicsadapter=0This engine option is not guaranteed to work in every WARDOGS build. Record existing options and remove it if it does not help. Disabling a second GPU can turn off its display outputs.
02
Frame generation is greyed out
- First check that your GPU supports the frame-generation feature you want.
- Turn off the in-game frame-rate limiter and VSync, then check the menu again.
- After updates, check whether either setting has been reset.
03
Black screen with menu audio
- Disable Steam, Discord and graphics-driver overlays individually and test.
- Add the launch options below in Steam to request a 1080p window.
- Once an image appears, set the correct resolution and display mode in game, then remove the test options.
