Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    The error is not caused by missing drivers; it's a project configuration issue.

  2. 95% fail

    Graphics API settings are stored in ProjectSettings/ProjectSettings.asset, not in Library.

  3. 85% fail

    The error is about graphics API, not CPU architecture.
