Runs on Integrated gfx only (iGPU) on Win 11
Ideas how to force this game on dGPU with Windows 11 on a gaming laptop with Advanced Optimus? The game will never start with dGPU, even if specified through Windows settings: System > Display > Graphics

Download this file, d3d8.dll. Then copy and paste it to where your game is located and it will detect your dGPU. I also had this probem but not aymore.

Also, after downloading a file, it will give a warning that it can harm your computer but don't worry, it's just a false positive.
