We are currently trying to build our game with il2cpp/windows and encountering issues due to one of our packages using GPU during asset import. Mono build works fine, because we use ubuntu for that one and ubuntu has Mesa LLVMpipe. However, windows also has a comparable alternative: WARP https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3darticles/directx-warp

My understanding that WARP should be available pretty much on every windows version. There is also an undocumented flag in Unity -force-driver-type-warp which forces this driver to be used, I tested it on my machine and it seems to work great.

Shouldn't there be at least an option to remove -nographics on windows builds? (like enableGPU on mac ones)

Edit:

While we haven't found a way to make WARP work in the windows server image, it's very easy to make LLVMpipe work. One simply needs to copy the opengl32.dll from http://mesa-llvmpipe-x64-xx.x.x.zip downloaded from the latest release at https://github.com/mmozeiko/build-mesa near the Unity.exe and run it with -force-opengl.

If there is a reliable way to enable GPU on Windows, then the feature can be extended to include it indeed.

@webbertakken we found including llvmpipe and -force-opengl pretty reliable. Plus it improves feature parity with linux mono builds.
