Theory: Natron uses your APU (Radeon) and due to known issues with Radeon Natron fails.

In the NVIDIA settings you should be able to select which app/game you want to use the NVIDIA card on, add Natron.

these are the only settings i have and i have a gtx 1650

Sorry. I didn't mean to close this yet. I just checked in a change that I believe should fix this for you. I'll post a link to a build you can test with this fix once it is ready.

@solarite1797 You should be able to test my AMD fixes with last night's build from my nightly builds release page. Please let me know if this works for you. Note, this is NOT an official Natron build, but it can be used to verify if my fix from #949 addresses the crashes you were seeing.

Please give this build a try and let me know if it works out for you.

That's because the older builds get deleted as time passes. You should still be able to use any of the builds on that nightly build release page. At this point they all include the AMD fixes.
