Titanfall Laptop 680M Graphics Issues.

[JohnJmesRambo]

Just downloaded and installed the game on my awesome gaming laptop. Only one problem, then game WILL NOT be recognized by my Nvidia 680M graphics card. I've tried multiple fixes including adding the program through the Nvidia Control Panel, making sure that the program is running through the graphics card, messing with the in-game and out-game (in Nvidia Control Panel) settings etc. Nothing seems to fix this issue.

The result is in game artifacts and other issues (missing textures etc.)

Similar to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbfTf363Dv0

However the fix DID NOT work.

Does anyone know of what is happening? I've seen plenty of videos of others playing T-Fall on their laptops with perfect quality. Also, I have tested other games and the graphics card does recognize them.

EDIT: I am running the latest graphics drivers from Nvidia.

I've also check my BIOs settings to attempt to manually disable the Integrated Graphics however, I have no option for UEFI in my bios. Strange....

However, this doesn't explain why the Nvidia card recognizes all games EXCEPT Titanfall.

It will recognize ALL of my Steam games, all of my backup games etc. T-Fall is THE ONE game that for whatever reason is not recognized.

Titanfall is a new game that was designed primarily for consoles...
Blame the developer in this case, not your hardware.

Still, the game should use whatever device is currently the active one. Does your laptop use hybrid-SLI (or whatever they call it) between the Intel iGPU and the NVIDIA GPU? Might need to wait for a patch if that's what's going on. Try the support forums I guess.

It uses optimus, yes.

After a lengthy talk with the support, EVEN THEY don't know whats wrong. They said they would forward my msinfo32 and dxdiag to their expert team and get back to me.

I'm not alone on this either. There are many other (all laptop users) who are having this issue.

Yeah, it's not always your computer's fault.

I could see Optimus messing things up, since the iGPU may be being picked up as the primary. As it misses minimum specs, the game won't start. Most games will, as the iGPU is supported, allowing Optimus to switch to the 680m.

That's my guess anyway.
