    I received @Maxis109's dxdiag in a private message.

    The main GPU is listed as a Intel HD 520, but further down there is mention of a Geforce 940M. This is a classic example of the Nvidia GPU not switching on in Frostbite 3 games, such as this one.

    The aforementioned method of switching on the right GPU should ordinarily work in this case. Go to the Nvidia control panel (you find this option by right clicking the desktop), then go to 'manage 3D settings' and make sure the Nvidia GPU is preferred. Like so:

 I need a hand too if you could.

 I have the same problem, when i start the game i get a message saying i need to update my intel drivers, which repeatedly doesn't work and I have an Nvidia GT 740M graphics card with the latest drivers. I am running win 8.1 and all specs exceed the minimum - 40mbps internet, 8 GB RAM, 100's GB free on hard disk, intel i7 quad core etc etc

 I have followed the other instructions, going to manage 3d settings, i am still getting the same message, I have reset and still doesn't work and same error message, any idea's whats up with it?

Any help is appreciated, especially as it's coming out of your own time. ty

Some of nVIDIA's hermaphrodites never do as they are supposed to.  That's nVIDIA's fault, & has plagued their junk since they discarded the mobile GPU's entire front end hardware.  Take it up with them, that's as good of a suggestion as I have.
