[ZaidAlkalaldeh]

Hi all

i can’t change ingame settings of falcon to run on my gtx 970m,its just showing intel 4600 hd graphic card,no option for the gtx 970m ,also i tried to change falcon.exe to run on gtx 97m from nvidia control panel,but itss still the same please help

Normally, if you have made the change in the Nvidia control panel, it might still display the Intel card on the graphic settings but the game will indeed run on the GTX. If you go in-game, it should definitely run smoother

You need to go in your UEFI/bios and change the graphics boot from cpu to pcie and it will then pick up the graphics card.

Could you tell me please how? thanks

Your laptop has probably small switch or something like that. Try to find it and push it to enlighted position…
also in Nvidia control panel, you can link programs to GPUs.

If it is selectable in BIOS….To enter BIOS you need to be quick - you only have a few seconds to punch the correct key. When you first turn on your machine, you might see a screen that says F2 Setup (Dell), or F10 Setup (HP). That is the key you need to hit on your keyboard when that initial screen is being displayed. If you don’t see a specific key listed, try any of these. F1, F2, F3, Del, F10, Esc. Hit them multiple times, not just once.

The Delete key is usually a key that will take you to the computer’s BIOS. It is difficult to tell you what to do, as each computer company (Dell, Acer, HP, etc.) have their own bios, usually based on the motherboard (Asrock, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte) for system builders. You should be able to find out how to change settings in the manual for the builder or motherboard maker. You also maybe able see a “how to” video on YouTube using their search feature for your computer/motherboard manufacturing company.

i went to UFEI/BIOS but couldnt found any option to change anything,there is just option for update bios and its v1.2

If you tell me what brand computer, or if custom, what brand and number your mother board is, I should be able to tell you how to do it. But without specs there is no way to explain anything.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I seem to have a very similar problem. No mater how much I play around with the nvidia control panel I can only get the game to use the intel graphics card (ASUS laptop). I tried going in to the BIOS, but there were no settings that would allow me to control what graphics card the computer would use. I have also individually set each .exe file in the game folder to run on the nvidia card and set the nvidia card to be standard for the computer. Deactivating the intel card in the computer hardware settings only causes falcon to crash on startup.

Sometimes the game only give me a black screen with sound. I’m not sure if that means it has started with the nvidia card but that it cant render an image.

To make matters worse, I can only get the game to use about half the size of the screen. Even if I change resolution in the settings menu, nothing changes. Any way to make the game actually run on full screen?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Delete the dx9display.dsp file in your BMS folder and try again, maybe it helps.

In my laptop whn i press the left mouse key with bms selected the menu has an option say run with graphic adapter: and i can choose between the Ati my laptop has or with the intel one. I hope this helps i dont know though if it is possible to your laptop

[Gustav_O]

Thanks for the tip reaper. I tried it, but absolutely nothing changes. It still only recognise the intel card and won’t allow me to run the game in high resolution or on more than a small part of the screen.

Any other things I could try?

I even tried to launch original falcon. It seems to have the same problem with graphics card and screen size.

Have you tried setting the global graphics setting in the nvidia panel to use the high performance nvidia card and not the Intel or let the computer decide option. It worked for me.

[Gustav_O]

Hmm, I have tried that as well, no difference. I have even gone through every .exe file in the falcon BMS folder and added them to the list of programs that should use the nvidia card in the nvidia setup.

I might even be able to live with using the intel card, if I could just get the picture up to full screen…
