Solved: 8 Years, 1 Month ago How do i change what graphic card my amnesia should load?

Hey I have a Nvidia 540 graphic card but my amnesia don't use that when i start the game, it uses my Intel HD graphics.
And if it uses them the game and the editor crashes. How can I change so it uses my 540?

And the game worked before but now it changed for some reason!

Update both the Intel HD and Nvidia drivers to the latest possible from intel.com and nvidia.com respectably. Then force Amnesia and editors to run with nvidia via it's control panel.

What driver versions do you have then?

Nvidia: Control panel > System Information (bottom left)
Intel: Control panel > Options and Support > Information Center

I have the same configuration (540M + Intel HD) and I know for a fact that it works with nvidia without changing anything.

Then it doesn't have to do with the game. Something is not right at the operating system, settings etc...

Set it to performance mode and force the use of the gt540m via Nvidia control panel.

That's why I said it has to do with your system somehow. Because it worked previously. Try deleting the .cfg files from Documents\Amnesia and subfolder.
