Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Hi. If you have an Nvidia GPU, set fullscreen to false in your Saved Games\DCS...\Config\options.lua file. If you have an AMD GPU, set it to true, then launch the game through Adrenalin software. 1 ---

Oh, uhh i don't have Adrenalin, i only have Radeon Software. And it looks like it wont see DCS at all.
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Try this: First try with DCS_updater.exe. If it still doesn't work, do the same for DCS.exe (but the game won't be able to auto-update on launch). Edited January 25, 2021 by Flappie ---

Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Sorry, I cannot help much more, I own an NVIDIA GPU. If your fullscreen setting was already on true, maybe try to set it to false. ---

Looks like the DCS shortcut its linked to the DCS_updater, I'll try the DCS. Yeah, same result with DCS. Anything i can try?
DexterKiller147 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 The weird thing is that I ran the game before which is very weird but now it wont. Anything that i can delete? Cache and things like that?

Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 OK, please attach your dcs.log file ( C:\Users\your-name\Saved Games\DCS...\logs\dcs.log ). ---
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 There's something funny in your log. The first line is OK (DCS first looks for an NVIDIA GPU by default and doesn't find anything), but then I see the game detects an "ATI Adapter Intel HD Graphics 520" card. To my knowledge, Intel HD Graphics are not AMD/ATI GPU. Also, I assume you're using the Radeon software because your PC has an AMD GPU somewhere... If you have an AMD GPU, you should go to your BIOS and disable your HD Graphics 520 chipset (or enforce the use of the AMD GPU, your call). 2021-01-25 12:15:52.084 INFO DX11BACKEND: NvAPI_Initialize Error: 2021-01-25 12:15:52.099 INFO DX11BACKEND: ATI Adapter Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 2021-01-25 12:15:52.099 INFO DX11BACKEND: ATI Driver Version 20.20.31.01-200923a-359518E-RadeonSoftwareAdrenalin2020 2021-01-25 12:15:52.099 INFO DX11BACKEND: AGS Version 3.2.0 2021-01-25 12:15:52.099 INFO DX11BACKEND: GPU count:1 ---

So i would go for the enforce if you could tell me how to do it
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Enforcing a GPU means telling your BIOS "Use this as your primary GPU because I tell you so". I can guide you through the BIOS but I need your motherboard's (or PC's if it's a laptop) reference. If you don't know how to find this, attach your dxdiag log. Edited January 25, 2021 by Flappie ---
DexterKiller147 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I'm back.. I made the game run from the AMD but still no luck. 56 minutes ago, Flappie said: Enforcing a GPU means telling your BIOS "Use this as your primary GPU because I tell you so".

DexterKiller147 Posted January 25, 2021 Author Posted January 25, 2021 I've made a mistake and i thought i could make DCS run with the amd with display settings than i realized its BIOS sorry for that.
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Thank you. I see your laptop model is Lenovo 80NT equiped with a "switchable graphics" option which allows you to link a program to one of your two graphics card. This guide explains how to link a program to graphcis card. Please read it and ensure "DCS.exe" is set to "High performance" (which means AMD card is to be used) instead of the other options.

This guide doesnt apply for Radeon Software, and i don't seem to find downloads for Radeon Settings, it may been retired. and i have found "Preferences" but there is just some visual aspects
Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 You mean you don't have any one of these buttons when you right-click the Desktop? ---

Flappie Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 OK. It seems Windows 10 took over the AMD driver about the GPU switching (read this thread). This video explains how to change your card in ther W10 settings. Simply select DCS.exe and set it to "High performance". ---
