Re: Launching ME1 disables display

For some reason, Mass Effect 1 is only using the integrated graphics on my laptop. I've set Mass Effect Legendary Edition programs in my GPU settings to use the high performance GPU instead of integrated graphics. I've tried disabling the integrated graphics device in windows device manager and instead it tried running the game solely on the CPU.

GPU drivers are up to date. GeForce Game Ready Driver v466.27

Mass Effect 2 and 3 appear to use the proper device. As seen in the windows task manager performance tab.

Any help would be appreciated.

    @undyinglego Hey, please type "graphics settings" into Windows Search. Choose to add a Desktop App, and go to E:\Games\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64 to choose MassEffect1.exe.

    Now back in the Graphics settings choose this, then Options, and select "High Performance" mode, rather than "Let Windows decide".
