PVZ Gw2 crash

Look at the picture and thats the issue that crash the game for me. i have nvidia gtx 670 on my laptop, i cant use it as desktop grapichs. i get access denied and error if i force nvidia as desktop.

Why cant i youst start it? i have the lates driver from INTEL i cant get any new version because it dose not exist. I have tryed all new drivers and intel utility says. you allready have the latest driver!

  • Hi @NoMoreAlive

    It looks as though your laptop is trying to use the onboard graphics chip rather than your dedicated one.

    If you follow the steps in this article hopefully you'll be able to use your dedicated chip.

    Let us know how you get on.

    Dear "nomorealive",

    I had the same problem, my controller worked but not my keyboard and mouse. About the same error displays when i try to launch the game. I also tried to solve the problem by setting manually nvidia as graphic card, but the same problem was still there. (I knew the trick because i already did it for pvz gw1)

    BUT i found a TEMPORARY solution to be able to play with my keyboard and mouse. First of all i plug in my controller and my keyboard and mouse. When the intel error displays, i accept it. Then i pass the beginning scenes, with "A" on my xbox 360 controller. When comes the moment that i am suppose to be able to move, i can only with my controller, with it i go to settings and put my game on WINDOW MODE. After that i can play with my keyboard and mouse

    I hope that my temporary solution will work for you too. And I hope that the problem will  be solved definitively soon.

    (i am sorry for my bad english, i hope you can undestand me, if not i could also write it in frensh or dutch if necessary)

  • i was having the exact same crash.

    What i did to stop the problem from happening was changed the game from Fullscreen to Borderless windows, after that never had problems or crash.

    EA, there is some bug on the fullscreen mode, check it out,

    my specs:

    AMD FX 8350 4ghz

    8 gb RAM DDR3 1600

    Windows 10 64 bits (latest update, non insider)

    Radeon HD 6950 2gb with catalyst 15.8 beta driver
