Starting application with the workstation locked. I could swear Starcraft II would run under my NVIDIA card perfectly fine when I had Windows 8.īut I updated to Windows 8.1 months ago and have kept it up-to-date since, and when I now try running SC2 or even Age of Empires III on my current system with my NVIDIA card, I get errors such asĭirect3D initialization failed. The drivers for both are correctly installed. I have an NVIDIA Optimus-based laptop, with both Intel's 4600 and NVIDIA's 750M graphics cards.

If you ran this, it'd be helpful if you could comment and let me know whether yours works correctly or not. Warning: Can't run DWM Assessment - no LDDM Support Do you encounter the same error as I do? I see this: Windows System Assessment Tool If you have a Windows 8.1 system with both an Intel graphics card as well as an NVIDIA graphics card, try running WinSAT D3D in the command prompt.
