The log you uploaded does mention that you may be trying to run the game with the Intel GPU. Try disabling the Nvidia Optimus system to force it to use the more powerful GPU. You can follow this quick guide here:

Try just setting the global option first. If that works, go back and set it specifically for our game, so its not always running.

It seems that the Driver crashes upon starting the game since I already set global as well as the game and the coherent UI to the dedicated graphics card, since a error pops up if i switch from the game-

Upon installiert the 347.88 Driver the game gets More reliable to the loading screen, While the Performance Seems far worse in other Games (around half the fps compared to before), but the Main issue with The displaydriver crashing Seems solved , but I will report later the state of things

Ok changing the drivers didn't do anything, I informed myself than what causes the display driver to crash on my card and found out that the card has not enough voltage supply, therefore I had to underclock it slightly.


Now I'm at the point of loading aroung 5 minutes (which is pretty long IMO) and than I can't really read anything from the text on the loading screen or the main menu which shows itself shortly since the relotion seems bad.


Any solution for this?

I don't come that far most of the time, I saw like once the menu and now I'm fighting with getting there reliably <.<


The main problem is that i get no response during the load screen, cause the dedicated graphics card still stops responding as it seems, and all i try to change in the nvidia control panel gets rolled back as soon as i close it which makes the whole process quite frustrating.

That sounds odd. It sounds like your laptop software is fighting you giving control to NVidia software to run the game.

I am able to change everything in the control panel except the 3D advanced setting, these get just rolled back seconds later <.<
