Torque 3D and Graphics Card issue

#1 Can you run your project? Do you have any issues seeing anything on the screen?

I get this when running my project:

As you can see it finds it in the console but says no card core profile. It does not mean anything as the project still runs.

Could you post your console output?

#2 I see the screen fine cause it runs on my built in graphics card, but the quality is very bad. It seems to not even pick up my Nvidia card. It works in other programs fine.

#3 Oh yes indeed it does use the intel graphics...

Try reading these threads below as one suggest that his card can be forced to run all the time and hence cancel the Intel internal graphics from running(go to bios and set to fixed).

some talk about the topic

Possible solution

Please let me know if it worked :o)

Best,

#4 I fixed it in the bios. Much thanks! :)

#5 Awesome! :o)

Your are welcome.

Best,

Dwarf King

#6 Might want to try out this nVidia recommended procedure instead of changing settings in the BIOS:
How to whitelist a game with Nvidia's Optimus

#7 Also understand you CANNOT whitelist an engine. Just the executable. So every time you create a new executable with a different name it will need to be whitelisted. There is no way for your system to know it is a program that needs a higher end 3D card.

#8 This is the complete list of wishes from the garage games uservoice, i intend to relist them in some orderly fashion.

Some are done, some are works in progress, some despite wishful thinking are never likely to happen, especially with the current manpower issues, these along selected items from the other places where features are requested can form the goto list if you want to work on the engine, or users can add their own to the list and start work.

If you are working on one of these and wish to say so, i can put your @link next to them so people who want to help with specific parts

Also ive no idea how this clashes with jeffs new posts, if it does then... ive prepared a list for him :p
