additional on battlefront II:
it wont run from this app either. this is to do with me using an external monitor through hdmi port connected to the discrete gpu and the laptop screen running everything through the intel uhd integrated.
battlefront simply wont run at all with screens duplicated. it opens a small black window which closed and this app or origin comes back from the tray. nothing can make it run. the different gpu and screen paths must be confusing the game. fifa 22 runs every time with duplicated screens though. so it should be a fixable issue.
if i turn off laptop screen, just like fifa 22, battlefront ii will bluescreen windows with video scheduler error more often than it will run. but it does sometimes run.
neither game likes that there is an integrated graphics they cant use even if they are supposed to be, and later do use, the discrete gpu instead. feels like an error in programmed initialisation, default incorrect assumption.
if i try to use laptop screen, battlefront ii sometimes runs, sometimes wont. and there seems no rhyme or reason to it. and i have to wear glasses with such a small screen rather than the 21 inch monitor.
since i have another game (outriders) that also bluescreens the laptop when using dx 12 but runs fine dx11 mode, im guessing both battlefront ii and fifa 22 only use dx12 regardless of user settings, and that dx12 has a serious bug in somewhere when dealing with discrete gpu outputting direct to an hdmi port rather than through the integrated graphics on gaming laptops. microsoft have to work on dx12
