DLSS missing with multiple graphics adapters

  1. Check whether multiple GPUs are installed and WARDOGS uses the intended GeForce.
  2. In Windows: Settings → System → Display → Graphics → WARDOGS → Options → High performance. Start here on laptops.
  3. With multiple dedicated cards, test the adapter index. 0 selects the first adapter; test 1 separately if appropriate.
-graphicsadapter=0

This 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

  1. First check that your GPU supports the frame-generation feature you want.
  2. Turn off the in-game frame-rate limiter and VSync, then check the menu again.
  3. After updates, check whether either setting has been reset.
03

Black screen with menu audio

  1. Disable Steam, Discord and graphics-driver overlays individually and test.
  2. Add the launch options below in Steam to request a 1080p window.
  3. Once an image appears, set the correct resolution and display mode in game, then remove the test options.
-windowed -ResX=1920 -ResY=1080
04

DirectX 12 error 0x80004004

  1. Verify game files and install a suitable stable GPU driver.
  2. If the error persists, collect crash logs and system information for a support ticket.

There is no confirmed universal fix here for this specific error.

Frequently asked questions

Why is DLSS missing even with a GeForce installed?

With multiple adapters, feature detection may consider the wrong GPU. Check the Windows GPU assignment first, then test the adapter index if needed.
