Hello, I hope you can help me. Every time I open the game, this screen appears and I have no idea what the error is. I don't have a super PC, I have a laptop haha, but my laptop has run other games with UnrealEngine that aren't as demanding without any problems. I hope you can help me, thank you.

Hello! Thanks for reporting this, I’ll try to help
This doesn’t seem to be related to your PC power — many players with laptops and mid-range hardware have run the game fine. In most cases, this issue is caused by the graphics API Unreal Engine tries to use by default.
Here’s a workaround that has helped many players:
Try forcing DirectX 11 (most reliable)
- Create a shortcut for SperAp.exe
(Right-click → Create shortcut)
- Right-click the shortcut → Properties
- In the Target field, add this at the very end:
-dx11
Example:
"C:\Games\SperApocalypse\SperAp.exe" -dx11
- Click Apply → OK
- Launch the game only through this shortcut
If it still doesn’t work, try this:
- Make sure you are launching the game from the shortcut with -dx11
- Right-click the shortcut → Run as administrator
- Disable fullscreen optimization:
- Right-click shortcut → Properties → Compatibility tab
- Check Disable fullscreen optimizations
- If the game still crashes, try Vulkan instead of DX11:
"C:\Games\SperApocalypse\SperAp.exe" -vulkan
(Some GPUs work better with Vulkan)
- As a last resort:
- Update your GPU drivers
- If you’re using an AMD GPU, try running the game in windowed mode — it helps sometimes
If the issue persists, feel free to send a screenshot of the error screen or your GPU model — I’ll take a closer look.
Thanks for your patience and for giving the game a try
