GarglingGlass Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I've had a problem with this game, seemingly randomly, flashing in and out completely. Sometimes sound continues, sometimes it doesn't (my sound is running through my GPU). Sometimes I can play for a bit, sometimes it'll do it once at startup, sometimes it flashes till I have to force close it (never crashed), and sometimes it stays black till I force close it. It's not my entire video crashing because my monitor never goes into stand-by. I've looked into setting my preferred gpu (I'm on a desktop) thinking it might be trying to switch to my onboard for some unknown reason, but that option isn't even available to me in my nVidia control panel. Some help?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturnal36 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 This information is fairly relevant I believe: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35/~/how-do-i-disable-integrated%2Fonboard-graphics-so-my-geforce-pci-card-will-work%3F It is old information but the same principles are still relevant. You can also try temporarily disabling on-board graphics by going into device manager and disabling the card. That being said this sounds more like a driver issue to me than anything, do you have the most recent Nvidia drivers? I have been hearing of various issues with the new drivers, especially with the 1060 and up. What you might try doing is booting into safe mode, and uninstalling / reinstalling your graphics drivers, it may be that something was corrupted, or it is just another symptom of Nvidias yet again buggy drivers.

GarglingGlass Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Oddly enough, my integrated card is neither in my BIOS nor my device manager. I thought it might be a driver issue too because it was happening really bad when the game first released, and I updated my driver about a week ago when I finally got around to playing it. I'm on a 750ti. Like I said, it seems totally random and only really happens bad or breaks it on startup, so I've just powered through it long enough to play or restarted if I've had to... I can always try to reinstall the drivers I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonvale Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I don't know how to solve your problem, but I have a GTX 750 Ti OC 2Gb and this never happened to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
