For starters, I want to guess this is a laptop. The problem I see is an integrated video card being used over the discrete card. I believe I saw a GeForce 540M somewhere in there. So, I’d start there. Get your computer to use that rather than the intel hd graphics chip.

I don’t know how to do this on pc though. On Mac it’s a power saving feature.

Alright, it took some doing (multiple system restarts) but I managed to update my driver, and go into BIOS and change graphical usage to “switch” instead of just integrated. Finally, what I think was the real problem, I went into the NVIDIA control panel and changed the PhysX configuration to “auto-select” instead of CPU.

This has fixed the problem for now and also taken care of a launcher problem that sprung up mid-fix where it wouldn’t load past the downloading phase, just stuck frozen at 0%.

Thanks for your help.
