Apart from softwares nVidia has determined to run on one card or the other, it should launch everything with nVidia as default. Note that if you're not often moving your laptop or if you want to run most applications with nVidia, you can change the default setting for all under "global settings". Now the game should have registered the option. "select the graphic card for this application" (something like that), choose "nVidia high performance".
In the drop-down list search for heroes4.exe or rather the. If nVidia works better, or if you want the game to run as Admin, do the following, it's better on the long run: go to your nVidia control panel, then in "manage 3D settings", then "program settings". You can also disable "run as Admin" in the compatibility tab to allow for this menu to work. Choose nVidia and see if things run better.
#DXWND HEROES 4 HOW TO#
So, if you don't know how to do this, here's how: if HoMM IV runs without asking for Administrator rights, you can just right click on its shortcut and search for something like "run with nVidia/Intel integrated card" (French laptop here so, I can't really guess the exact names). So what you can try is actually running the game with your nVidia GPU instead of Intel, which should provide optimal performance. not all! Quite a lot of softwares don't behave well with such cards, which are mainly meant for desktop/usual multimedia use. It's fine most of the time, and can also help with old games, but. However this also means that your laptop relies by default on the Intel card, to save batteries. The Intel HD card is used for scaling, resolution and other things indeed. You have an Optimus system it seems, this explains why your nVidia options are limited. Note: everything below is about running the game with the nVidia GPU instead of Intel, if you've already done this, well, I don't have a clue how to help! Unfortunately, the issue is stiil not solved. That other thread you mentioned is the same with my problem it seems, yes. But I can easily do it since they are slow. Normally the projectiles go so fast that it is hard to capture it in the screenshot. I've put some screenshots with these options in-battle. I tried these three options one by one, but unfortunately the battle animations are still slow (projectiles especially).

Tam Ekran Ölçeklendir: Full Screen Scaling
You can see what options came up with 1280x1024 in the attachment named "Intel_1280_1024.jpg" It says the other options appear only after switching to lower resolutions. To change this, I've found the advice in this link (see the Helpful Answer). "Ekran ölçeklendirmesini koru" means "Keep Screen Scaling" or something like this. But the thing is, as you can see from the second attachment (Intel_1920_1080.jpg), there was no option to choose any scaling options under 1920x1080. Here it says that if I don't see those options, I have to use the Intel Control Panel. Seeing this, I have followed the things mentioned in this thread: It doesn't even have the Resolution options :D First attachment shows it, named Nvidia_Control_Panel.jpg (Sorry it is Turkish, I could not find a way to switch it to English). The thing is, as many others on the forums state, that my Nvidia Control Panel does not show the necessary options for me to try Scaling. Is it possible to have the "What I want: " part I wrote above? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm tired but this game defines a certain part of my childhood and I'll do everything to play it again, the way I want.Įven though I know that "you can't always get what you want". What should I do? I've been visiting all the relevant websites for the last two days with no solution. Very high end MSI laptop so no hardware insufficiency.

> Edit: I have already installed the Equilibris mod.Ĭomputer specs: Windows 8.1. Very small improvement, but still jerky animations. > Also tried 16 bit option under Right click - Properties - Compatibility. Made it even worse (this one fixes Divine Divinity). > Used the RunFirst utility, which forces the game to run on only one processor core. > Tried all the combinations under Right Click - Properties - Compatibility options. This made it even worse (this fixes Eador: Genesis) > I tried the "50% Throttle in Power Plan Options". > The other two resolution options work without problems and no performance drops. I have no slowness with 3 friendly stacks, but after I have more, everything in battle starts slowing down. >Edit: The slowdown seems to occur after the number of stacks on the battlefield increases. Also, all units' movements are kind of jerky. The best example for this is, Crossbowman's bolt travels very slowly after being shot. > To play the game on 1280x1024 resolution & Fullscreen with no performance drops.
