When I try to launch Dune Awakening from Steam, it crashes while loading with a message to send to Funcom. All drivers are updated.

@DJWCA, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
i see that your HP Victus 16.1-inch Gaming Laptop (model 16-r0000) is crashing when launching Dune Awakening from Steam.
I suggest you download the latest Nvidia graphics drivers from their website, which were recently released.
Ensure Game Runs on GPU
Using HP Omen Gaming Hub:
Open the HP Omen Gaming Hub.
Navigate to the Graphics Switcher tab.
Select the NVIDIA GPU.
Using Windows Settings:
Go to Settings > System > Display.
Scroll down and click on Graphics settings.
Browse and select Dune Awakening.
Click Options and choose High Performance.
Adjust power settings:
Set Power Plan to High Performance:
Open Control Panel > Power Options.
Select High Performance as the active power plan.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps.
Take care and have a good day.
