Is there any way to force MM7 with grayface's to not use the integrated intel card?

I don't mean to resurrect an old thread, but did you ever find the solution? i'm dealing with the same issue

I was checking a wrong thing last time. Save this script into Scripts\General (e.g. as Hook Enum Devices.lua) and run the game, then tell me what it will write into MMExtensionLog.txt:

Code: Select all

mem.autohook(0x49AF21, |d| print('GPU:', mem.string(d.eax)))

This is for MM8 with MMExtension, ideally for MMMerge, because it already has a pretty fresh MMExt.

Hey tomchen! Can you try it?

Hello. I'm having same issue on laptop. This is content of MMExtensionLog.txt:

Code: Select all

Loading user settings from MMMergeSettings.lua
Cannot load user settings: MMMergeSettings.lua: No such file or directory
GPU:	Intel(R) HD Graphics 630

I have two GPUs: integrated one and GTX1060. When i launch MM8Setup.exe and set hardware acceleration, i have only one option in drop down menu: Intel(R) HD Graphics 630.

Looks like it's a restriction of DX7 emulation of Windows.

Did anyone get to resolve it?

I also have this problem, except the game is completely unplayable using the integrated graphics. It looks something like this:

It just flickers wildly and you basically can't see a thing.

I had this problem with Intel Irix Xe untill one of last drivers update.

If drivers update won't solve the issue, try to use dgVodoo: https://www.celestialheavens.com/forum/10/16658
It will wrap the game to use modern DirectX, rather than DirectX7.

If none above works, you'll have to play in software mode, or globally change your main GPU to one, you prefer - I don't know the general way to do it.
