Hello everyone,

I use to play this mod +/- a year ago without problems. The age-old integrated graphics problem wasn't an issue in the past for me. I was able to change the video to use the GPU and play. I decided to re-install this mod, but each time I change the settings to use my GPU instead of the integrated graphics, the game reverts back to the integrated graphics each time I enter the mod. I checked the actual game settings and it is maintaining the GPU I selected. Has anyone had this problem and know how to ensure the mod uses the GPU?

This could be caused by 2 different problems.

1. The antivirus isn't allowing you to save the settings.

2. You're also switching it between SP and BO.
For some unknown reason BO and SP read the settings file and recognise the adapter as the wrong number. For example, the onboard GPU would be labeled as GPU 1. Single player would load the onboard as GPU 1, while BO would load the proper GPU as 1. It's unclear why it happens, but they both see a different card for the value in the settings.

Hello!

After last update same is happening with me, native works ok with nvidia gpu, but BO always loads with integrated, if i try to swtich to nvidia it says i have to restart but it comes back again with integrated, as not saving, already turned off sharpening, selected to always use nvidia on panel, even changed the game config file from 0 to 1 on graphics adapter, no sucess! It was ok till last update!

Apreciate the help!

PS: It might be antivirus, turned avira off and i could finally load with nvidia gpu! hope this helps!!!
