Game only finds integrated graphics

[cyaros]

I bought Human Revolution on Steam recently, and upon attempting to actually play the game I paid for, it can't play. Why? because it refuses to find my GPU. It only finds my integrated graphics. I've tried everything, forcing it to run with my GPU but it crashes if I attempt to profile the game, only running if I play it with integrated intel graphics.

I have played the game before, outside steam, all the way through just friggin' fine with my GPU, and I'm pissed now that I can't play it now. I have searched high and low, and have found absolutely no way to get it to find my GPU.

*Same Problem with Missing Link DLC, which I was really looking forward to playing through

A) This goes in the technical help forums, not here.

B) That sounds more like a computer issue than a game one. The game should be using whatever the primary is.

can I/you move it?

And It seems more like the game detecting it wrong, because everything else, including the same game, runs fine.

Hey, I have the same problem but Human revolution works just fine for me and it's the missing link that goes crazy with the integrated graphic adapter. I suggest you update your nVidia Gefore driver to the latest from nVidia. That might solve the problem for human revolution. I'm still waiting for help with the missing link though.

Ok found a temporary solution.

Right click on the desktop, go to Nvidia control panel
Within the Control Panel
under '3D Settings' click 'Manage 3d Settngs'
under 'Manage 3d Settngs' click on 'global settings'
change the 'preferred graphics processor': to 'High Performance Nvidia Processor'
Set up the game for whatever settings you would like and play.

You can make your own profiles for games specifically instead of changing the global settings if you can point it to the .exe file, except I cant find the Deus Ex.exe anywhere in my steam folder...

But this works for the moment. You can always switch the 'preferred graphics processor' back to auto when your done playing.
