Hi there

I hope this is the right pace to post.

I have an onboard graphics card and a NVIDIA one. But when I am playing the game and press ESC, there is only the onboard one to be selected in the dropdown menu. Is there any way to use the NVIDIA one?

Also, I have gone into the NVIDIA control panel and changed the 3D thing to NVIDIA and since then on my log in screen with the 3 Characters, I have this written: "PHYSX -> CPU" , and this is set to auto on my NVIDIA settings. Also when I am in-game this appears at the top of the window, just above the system name in large letters. How do I remove this?

Thank you in advance.

Did this issue surface only since the Kronos expansion (i.e. today?) If so, I'd submit a ticket with the info about your system for them to review.

If not, the standard clear cache and reboot is always a good place to start. I'd reboot your computer as well and ensure you have all the latest versions of your os and Nvidia hardware.

Hi there

Thank you for your response.

No the issue didn't start today. I have 2 graphics cards on this puter, and was looking at youtube on how to use the NVIDIA one instead of the onbord one and it was a simple selection in the NVIDIA control panel. When I logged back into Eve, there was the writing on my login screen (where I chose my character) and this carried over into the game itself, now permanently embedded on top where the system name is, just above it, in huge, ugly lettering.

I don't know what to do really.

Are you using a desktop or laptop?
