Re: Mass Effect 1 Legendary Using Integrated Graphics by DEFAULT? WHY??!

@BoubaFett 

I understand that this is frustrating, but I fail to see how this is Bioware's fault.

If your system is not recognising the MELE ME1 as a high performance 3D task then there is a problem within your system.

The "Mass Effect Legendary.exe" you speak of is presumably the "MassEffectLauncher.exe" and that is not the game but the launcher.

To make the NVIDIA control panel recognising the game exe you must point it to the individual game executables under ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Game\ME1\Binaries\Win64" respectively "...ME2\Binaries\Win64", ...ME3\Binaries\Win64" should  you get the problem there to.

    Also please remember that Nvidia Control panel no longer controls the GPU assignment for individual apps. It is now done via windows 10 modern settings app

    You can do it in the Windows settings, but you can also still do it in the NVIDIA control panel.

    @holger1405 thanks but I already told the solution but I guess an alternate wouldnt hurt, also yeah its Bioware's fault cause ME1 original runs perfectly and other ppl have run into this issue so yeah BioWare EA bad and you can stop brownnosing for em, unless you get paid for that

    I don't, but maybe you can put in a good word for me? 🙂

    And I don't "brownnosing" for then either, just stating facts.
    A game executable not recognised by the system as a high performance task is not the fault of the executable or the vendor of this executable but a problem on the specific system.

    On my gaming Laptop for example LE1 is recognised just fine and and utilizes the NVIDIA GPU.

    @WindSquid1313 Don't treat people like that, especially when they just solved a problem for free. Holger is right, this was a Windows 10 issue.
