Windows 10 what does it say on the render Panel > Videocard status in Preferences what videocard is in use, that can be important in chief especially id it's drivers aren't current. Your comp looks like it maybe older and may not support the new lighting engine fully ( it has been upgraded again in X16 ) M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you've been a bit tardy on updating your Drivers but there is a case for "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" however you may need to finally try it, as the card no longer really meets Chief's needs today with it's low VRAM (only 2GB) 1st make sure Chief is using the Nvidia Card if your laptop also uses theintel CPU's built In GPU ( Graphics card)........... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03140/forcing-chief-architect-programs-to-use-a-specific-graphics-card-in-windows-10-11.html the 965M card is still supported in current Drivers 555.85 being the latest, you don't need to install Geforce Experience, I never do, and also choose custom> Clean install. The Driver can be found here : https://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us If the DCH Driver won't install on a laptop this old try the Standard Version under Windows Driver type , Just fill in the tabs per this pic. hit Search and then click on the green link on the left....
