I just got the game, will let you know how it goes for me. I already hit a snag in installation in that by default it installed the game to the same directory where i already had Dark Corners of the Earth, an older Call of Cthulhu game installed. And when i went to load this from the galaxy launcher, it started loading the older game instead! It put them both on the same directory!

So i'm currently sorting that out and making sure they are in different directories, then i'll try the game. But not a good start!

What are your other specs? If you have intel cpu sometimes games use the intel graphics instead of nvidia. If it is something else you can always contact gog support and they might be able to help you.

There was actually a driver update just yesterday via Geforce experience, could be worth a try. But i do wonder if the 1650 could be a factor, the game is running ok for me so far with my older gtx 1060. But I have a hunch that the game might have issue with hardware types that came out after the game came out, as the better performing 16xx range only came out this year in 2019, after Call of Cthulhu first came out in late 2018.

Either way, getting in touch with tech support seems a good option!

Thank you Vargas78 and alexandros050 for all the suggestions and the help, The cpu is a core i7 10th gen (intel i7 1065G7) and I have it running on the nvidia gpu (whitelisted via the Nvidia control panel).
Also did the nvidia driver update to the newest version yesterday but still no luck.

Will do a tech support ticket with Gog.

Worth a try... for what it's worth, Im running a GTX 1660 (6 GB model) and I havent updated my graphic card driver since my build (Windows defaulted 419.67 which was only a few months old and I tend to take an "update when I need to" approach with these) and I've had no issues. Just finished chapter 9 I think? Im not sure the graphic card specifically is going to be your issue unless for some reason the game thinks it has a feature it doesnt....

Running it along side a Ryzen 2700 and 16 GB RAM on the newest Win10 if that helps.

Just to chime in with anything that might help, I've been playing on a GT 740 (totally outdated) GPU, I think I lowered the resolution to 1280 and some other specs downgraded a bit, but been running just fine. I bought this thinking it probably wouldn't run at all for me honestly, so was pleasantly surprised to have no real issues after a bit of tweaking.

Also running on Win 8.1 with AMD 6300 six-core processor -3.5GHz and 16G RAM

For those who are experiencing this,. look for "Game does not launch - Intel 10th gen CPU or newer " in
