PAYDAY 2 Running only off of Integrated graphics on mobile (a.k.a laptop) devices
The Problem:
PAYDAY 2 will run for approximately 30 minutes before running up all of my video memory forcing an inevitable BSOD (Blue Screen of Death).

What Is Happening:
PAYDAY 2 will not run my NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M whatsoever. It will only run my integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 4600). The VRAM for my integrated is far less than what the game consumes over a 30 minute or so period, causing overconsumption and BSOD to prevent further damage to my motherboard (at least that's what seems to be happening).

What I've done to fix it:
1.) First I dug around my preferences in both my Intel and NVIDIA video cards. I forced the NVIDIA driver to run over Intel on every occasion. PAYDAY 2 still ran my integrated card. Same problem. Looked for steam launch parameters to change VRAM at first because I thought it was just a memory leak on my NVIDIA card.

2.) I poked around every forum I could find becoming more and more desperate. I tried a mod that seemed to work for most people and posted it in the directory of PAYDAY 2.
Here is the file link:
http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34778/?
(Ignore the fact it says fallout, it is meant to fix this specific problem)

3.) Tried downloading an older version NVIDIA driver to 320.49, but could not find a compatible driver for whatever reason. Even when I found the notebook/mobile card version.

4.) Now I realize that the only ways to fix it right now is going into a lot of file digging and fixing it myself or the makers of PAYDAY 2 post a patch to make my driver compatible. Unless any of you have any suggestions, which is what I'm making this for.


Specs:
Windows 8.1 x64-bit OS x64-based processor
8GB DDR3 RAM
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4702MQ CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20GHz
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 on-board-graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2GB DDR3 VRAM
Ask for whatever else you need to know


P.S.
I am far from the only person having this problem. The only thing is that the d3d9 mod-fix didn't work for me...

PLEASE PATCH IT OVERKILL SOFTWARE!!!
PLEASE!

I don't remember the exact name of the computer but here is this:

It is basically the same thing except my processor. I also have 2x1 TB hard drives which were optional. Also don't have a touchscreen.

The mod does the excact opposite... you could try to download an older PhysX driver.

Already solved, but I appreciate it anyway. I'll leave this here for anyone else that is having this problem.
