support.steampowered.com/cgi-bin/steampowered.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=772

i dont know what to do. i already tried going into the "set launch options and typed dxlevel 81 and it didnt do anything. i dont know what to do. help me please. :’(

What is your video card? Try updating the drivers.

try adding -w 640 -h 480 to launch options.

Then set your resolution to something lower than 1600x1200

then exit the game and remove that line from the launch options

it works now. Thank you guys so much.
