Absolutely unplayable on ASUS ROG gaming computer (0.5-3 fps)

[Oppai loli Hestia]

I have the ASUS ROG GL552JX with the following specifications:

Intel Core i7 4720HQ
8 GB of DDR3 memory
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M with 2 GB of memory

In the menu, it's maybe 3 frames per second. When I tried starting the game, in case it is a menu thing, it was maybe 0.5 frames per second. According to the game box, my computer should be more than enough to play it. How poorly coded is this game? So disappointing! :( Really looked forward to playing it, too.

It's Nvidia drivers fault.

Its trying to launch game on integrated graphics card instead of dedicated and thus crashing.

That icon no longer is there after the installation of the new drivers...! When I go to the control panel and click on the link there, this is what happens:

I know this isn't helpful, but that graphics card has issues when functioning correctly. Your display adaptor failing to properly recognize your desktop resolution could indicate further issues?

Can you give examples of game performance with other titles?

[mhenryblack]

If possible, I would run 3d mark and see what your numbers look like.

Do the following :

- Download latest drivers.

- Start DDU. Choose (Boot in safe mode (recommended)).

- In safe mode start the program if it doesnt start auto and choose (Clean and reboot (Recommended)).

- It will reboot after the cleanup. After the reboot reinstall latest drivers.

- Reboot.

- Try again.

Well, I found the safe mode and uninstalled the nVidia drivers with the DDU program. After reinstalling, I can actually reach the nVidia control panel in the Windows control panel and change it so that GeForce 950M is used, instead of the card being chosen "automatically." However, the Doom game still won't start. Worse still, other games like the car game Asphalt 8, that is a newer game that I tried, also won't start. At least Unreal Tournament 2004 (an old box edition) still works, but some simple visual novel games won't work; one gives the error "CreateDevice" and another visual novel gives the error "Direct3D Error". The visual novel NEKOPARA Vol. 1 starts with sound only, showing no graphics at all. However, the menus are still "there" and are clickable, except invisible. This game also used to work, before.


When I try to start the Doom game, this is the error message I still get (maybe it's a bit different from last time):

Thanks in advance for any help.. :/ it's really appreciated as nothing I play now works. :(

[Oppai loli Hestia]

When I set the nVidia settings to use the integrated graphics card, all the games I've played now work. :( Not a very good sign as I've never played any games on this laptop with very advanced graphics.... are the nVidia drivers faulty or is my laptop's graphics card broken...? :/ At least I still have warranty left..... :/

[mhenryblack]

It sounds like a warranty issue. Get a new card. It can make all the difference. If you can, upgrade to a 1xxxm series.

[mhenryblack]

Crazy that after you updated the drivers, your gpu dropped support for MSAA.

[⋖Penguin⋗]

Close fraps if you are using it

[Samael]

Non essential programs should be closed.

That includes everything you do not need running at the moment. Anti-virus, backup program, audio panel, ocing software, Sometimes it only take 1 software to screw everything up.

Like Sonic Studio 2 and Duet Display that crash this game or just give you a black screen.

[Oppai loli Hestia]

Wtf.... the nVidia graphics card started working for other games after I uninstalled the application GeForce Experience. However, Doom still will not start.

As for needing to disable everything else in the background... that can't possibly be required. I can't be expected to turn off the firewall and sound boosting software just to run a game. However, almost everything is closed when I try to start the game.

[Oppai loli Hestia]

I've now further tested the nVidia card with 3DMark and it seems to work very well after I uninstalled the GeForce Experience thing, so it seems my computer is not the issue. I forgot to include the error report, earlier, by the way. Also, the little blue screen with a different error report no longer appears... that's some progress, at least.

Turn textures down 8gb of ram may be why your experiencing so low FPS

[♂TheBlasterMaster™✞]

OP, You show OpenGL Version: 1.1. I am on 4.6.
You are on driver version 23.21.13.8813 which is new. Maybe you should use DDU driver cleaner and reinstall your video driver. I would do this and run in OpenGL not Vulkan.

Oh, right. I forgot to post the new Steam system information. As you can see, it now says OpenGL 4.6 (definitely not sure why it said 1.1, before). I also tried to make another clean install of the nVidia drivers but it made no difference. Other games still work as before, now, though, after I didn't install the "GeForce Experience" thing.

Have you tried forcing OpenGL with this launch option +r_renderAPI "0"? Or you can try to force Vulkan with this +r_renderAPI "1"
Just remember to remove it later.
