The game shows up as a clear see-through window.

Can also mention that intel says this: A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver & Support Assistant is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact Acer for the latest driver for your computer.

Can we see a new dxdiag.txt from you please? To see exactly what you have now that works.

Yes

Yes

Can confirm, cannot install drivers outside of your manufacturer.

Good news, I've found a solution to the problem, if you have an acer atleast. I went to acer support and downloaded the Intel VGA driver that was listed for my device. When installing it told me that I already had a newer version installed. I installed this one instead, rebooted my computer, and just like that the game runs in all its fullscreen beauty.

Hopefully this works for you people too. If you don't have an acer perhaps you can find the equivalent for your manufacturer.

Confirmed, regressing drivers to the stock driver for Intel VGA on Acer's site fixed it for me. Attaching those three files for y'all to compare.

After replacing the previous driver, I also had to make sure that CK3 is being ran by my gpu on Nvidia Control Panel, as well as selecting Nvidia as the graphics card in the in game settings.

It runs fine and smooth.

Actually you can, but you need to get the .zip. version from Intel rather than the .exe version.

Wow, thanks Timperator. I downgraded my Intel Graphics driver to the version that originally came with my laptop (thanks to pointing me to Acer support - that made it easy to find).

And just like that... the game now works on full screen in 1080p.

Who knew downgrading things was the way to go.

Downgrading worked for me, too! Thanks, everyone!
