of course you do. games can jbe programmed to prefer a dedicated gpu. war of the overworld is not. final fantasy 15 however is. one issue here is steam which is programmed to run on integrated gpus only. it can not run on dedicated gpus as long as there is an integrated one. steam tells games what gpu to run on unless the game is coded to choose its own gpu. that is why the steam version of star wars empire at war runs on integrated gpu while the disc version runs on dedicated. i can not send you any files now that you have locked my steam topic.
no it is not. the dll files is installed so final fantasy 15 now works(that also uses the 2015 redist packages). war for the overworld does not work. final fantasy 15 runs on the gtx 770m while war for the overworld tries to run on the intel hd 4600 which it is not even compatible with.
The game not launching is a completely separate issue from the wrong GPU being used.
You need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable to play the game. If you cannot install this you cannot play the game.
If you successfully install it and the game still does not work that let us know. If it fails the please contact Microsoft Support: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/contactus/
i am still not getting to the main menu as the game does not launch. i have configured the nvidia control panel properly.
Regarding the configuration in the Nvidia Control Panel.
Would you kindly provide a screenshot of the configuration for the WFTO.exe program as well as the global settings. So far you've provided a screenshot of WFTOGame.exe. This is mostly for our security of mind before we proceed to more nuclear options to trying to resolve this.
Wftogame.exe (the one you've shown us the configuration for) will look like this with the WFTO Logo and a path rather than a name:
Whilst wfto.exe will look like this with a generic icon and the name "War for the Overworld"
We need to see the configuration of both of these to ensure they match up, apologies for the inconvenience.
Please send the files directly here, it is much more helpful to keep them all linked in this topic. Just drag the file into the comment box.
NVIDIA Optimus alone decides what GPU is going to be used. We have no control.
