[Crash][0.77] Crashes on launch when using Nvidia 420M rather than integrated graphics [Possibly solved]

from Elemental Forums

The game defaults to using the integrated graphics on my laptop.  When I use the Optimus control panel to specify the use of the graphics card the game crashed within a few seconds of launching before the loading screen appears.

edit: The integrated graphics I have are whatever comes with the core i5-460M.

in my lenovo g530 with win7 it crashes on the integrated intel gpu and I do not have an alternate gpu, BUT .76 & .75 BOTH played fine and a lot better than my flamer tower with a geforce 7600gs

I have the same issue except it won't launch on either of my GPUs integrated or my 560M. Did you figure the settings out to fix it? Also it doesn't work with .75, .76, or .77. Would appreciate any help from anyone.

I did get  .77 to run on my lenovo by deleteing the custom units ( it seems that the is an occasional incompatability with units/sovs from .75,.76 with .77)

hope this suggestion works for you

I installed the latest beta drivers (290.53) and it will run off of the graphics card now.  Hopefully this solves the problem for you.
