Can you explain it more in a simple way, because whenever I check if I have my GPU installed and updated

I don't know what I'm supposed to check for in the "Nvidia control panel"

In the game I'm trying to play is 16 yours old it shouldn't need modern hardware to run it right?

Dont forget you said any games, test other games like skyrim or other 3D games that use higher graphic need then your IGPU cant handle.

It look like wrong GPU card is default in the system check Nvidia in windows controll panel.

It can play dragon's dogma 2, monster Hunter wilds, Warframe, and neih 2. For some reason it just won't play dragon's dogma dark arisen and stranger of paradise

And if the GPU card is default what do I change it to

The problem isn't that the game is laggy or anything, the game actually just won't start, there is no pop-up or anything telling me why I cannot run the game and and most of the online resources that I ask keep telling me things that isn't fixing it for some reason.

I don't know if this is a PC thing or a steam thing, or is this just common with games on a PC

Old games sometimes are unhappy on modern hardware., not all games age gracefully. There's often workarounds, unofficial patches and custom configurations. It might be worth posting on the game's forums or active communities to see if other people with similar hardware or just modern hardware in general have issues, or what common issues are, and what fixes you can try.

Ok that makes sense I guess, but if I downloaded a unofficial patch to a game would I get banned, I don't know if Steam views modifying you game the same way as cheating

As a general rule, modifying games or using mods are fine and helps with the longevity of certain games. Steam helps to facilitate this by allowing fans to upload their mods or patches to a game for others to enjoy via the Steam Workshop in the game's respective hub. You can also find mods elsewhere off Steam and many developers are perfectly fine with that. A lot of single player and cooperative games have really cool mods out there outside of just making them work on more modern systems!

However!, just don't mod competitive games (where you're playing with others) to obtain an unfair advantage. That type of modding is cheating and could potentially get you a VAC ban or a game ban by the publisher. Hope that helps! Cheers and happy gaming!

Only multiplayer games matter in that regard.

Single player games, no. Do whatever you want. Steam has the workshop for mods.

Valve own games are very moddable, I played lots of half-life mods. CS was a half-life mod, and look at where that ended up.

One of the major features of PC gaming over consoles has been being able to tinker with a game, to get it running, fix bugs, mod it. This allows PC to have a library that extends for decades.

I am so mad, it runs on my laptop but not on my GAMEING PC for some reason, can anyone explain how that works?

The laptop has: Intel(R) Iris(R) Plu Graphics card, and Intel(R) Core(TM) processor.

Different system, different hardware, different configuration.

But testing the game on another system is a good step, so I wouldn't be mad. You know the game runs, if the laptop is newer too you know the game can run on newer hardware. So I would take stock of some of the big differences between both systems and see if Dragon's Dogma is a bit fickle about any of the differences.

Welcome to PC gaming, this stuff happens, it's not always plug and play. All the power PC has a platform comes with some responsibility and increased complexity, which can be a barrier to entrance. Once you get a few hurdles behind you, it's not such a big deal. You'll understand these things happen, and you'll have the confidence to know it's a solvable problem and you'll just get to work.

You've also got the fact that you have Internet access and most probably you have aren't wholly unique or the first time they've ever happened, so lots of problems are already solved, you just have to find that info and replicate the solution, which in the grand scheme of things isn't too bad.
