[Bug] Attila uses wrong graphic card

Portal_Wombat

Hello,

unfortunately, Attila is trying to use the wrong graphic card of my Laptop. My graphiccard is updated and I also tried to assign it to Attila via the NVIDIA control panel. Still, Attila shows my Intel (R) 4600 in the settings, and I get 7 FPS on mid settings if I run the benchmark.

I guess this should be fixed with a little patch. If I remember it right, the same problem occured with Rome II after launch. No big deal.

I somehow couldn't find the bug report sub forum.

My system:

Core: Intel Core i7-4710MQ, 2,5 GHZ
Ram: 16 GB
Geforce GTX 880m
Windows 8.1, 64 bit

I guess I should be able to run Attila with more than 7 FPS?

Thank you for helping me out here.

Greetings

Arthy

This is probably because your graphics driver does not support Attilla yet.

Manually disabling the Intel GPU (and thus forcing the GeForce GPU) should solve this for now.

See this guide: https://support.sega.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/202359042-Setting-a-preferred-Graphics-processor-for-Attila-with-Nvidia

I disabled the intel card and now the game won't open at all

Hello thank you for your reply.

I also tried to disable the Intel GPU, now Attila doesn't find a single graphic card at all. It showed some intel Windows GPU.

I did the steps in the guide before I posted this thread, and repeated it now. Either way, even if my drivers are up to date and I am forcing Attila (using the .exe or the nvidia control panel), and my laptop is plugged in, I am still not able to get Attila to use my Nvidia GPU.

I can play it now on the lowest settings, which is not the end of the world, but I would like to enjoy it on other settings .

Did you set the preferred GPU for the launcher too?

It seems that is a fix for some: http://forums.totalwar.com/showthread.php/147166-Nvidia-People-(Laptop-graphics)

Oh boy, lordmaximus, someone should write this information in bold, red letters right at the top of the launcher.

This solved my problem. Maybe it is worth a sticky in the Attila forum?

Thank you very much and have a nice day.
