Additional info:
I am not on battery, and power settings is to full performance.
I am attempting start of game after cold boot, having waited considerable time to allow background processes to finish
In Nvidia, (here we may have a clue) there are some interesting items: 1) Thee automagic game search does not detect the game automagically when searching for it. I have added the correct path, rescanned, and no luck. 2. I have in manual nvidia graphics settings attempted to turn off all cool graphic effects.
I have tried starting from Origin, and directly from the .exe file.
That is, in this way, we should have removed certain items.
The only item I have not tried, is a BIOS update to v 209 from the ASUS website. However, their flash tool for the S56CM does not work on Win10... (shame shame, ASUS - this laptop is new enough to run Win10, and the BIOS update turns up wne looking for items for Win10...).

.. and, I have even tried with a game controller: Physical connection before the game is started, and after the game has started: This does not work either.
Wishing you the best in hunting down these bugs - Or, if the 635M will never be fast enough for the game, I do not mind knowing that.

Warbat: Any Geforce less powerful than an "n50" should not be at all satisfactory. The n30s / n35s / and n40s are all intended for such activities as streaming video viewing and watching movies on DVDs, not for games.
The "dead" start screen can often be overcome by switching to a windowed view and / or running the Windows Task Manager. Unfortunately, you waited until the last minutes of the Beta Test period to reach someone able to answer you.
- ApprovedAnonymous10 years agoSo how do you propose that we switch the game to a windowed view if we can't even get to the main menu to access the settings?
Secondly, I think I posted this thread on the first or second day of the beta. There was no procrastination involved whatsoever.- ApprovedAnonymous10 years ago
The Beta was over (officially) on the 12th, plus a few added hours on the 13th. I was never involved in this thread until the piggyback post was added, and have either never used windowed views to correct graphics anomalies in games, myself, or have forgotten ever having done so.
