Lately I got a used Alienware laptop and intended to use it for Age Of Wonders SM too. The laptop has two graphic adapters, one with poor performance to save battery power and one powerful to play games. That works fine so far for a lot of games I have tried. You can select the appropriate graphic card, when starting with the context menu or configure as default in the nvidia Optimus setup.
Unfortunately this doesn't work with AoWSM, because everytime AoWSMsetup.exe overrules the selection with the selected graphic card there. The bad thing is: It shows only the graphic adapter with the poor performance in the setup.exe and this is not really playable with 9 fps. Even if I start the AoWSMsetup.exe with the context menu selection it shows only the poor graphic adapter.
Does anyone have an idea, how I can get the powerful graphic card to work with AoWSM? How can I add the graphic adapter to the setup? Or let the setup.exe not overrule the selection from the context menu? Any idea may be helpful!!!
