Hey @Micha There is no extra hardware installed. Just a bluetooth mouse. Steam overlay is disabled. But i am under the impression that Acer modifies the drivers for their hardware, if this is the case, it may be a big problem. Latest drivers from acer is 359.00 for nvidia, and 20.19.15.4352 for the intel HD 530. I have just tried to install both those drivers, and then Niche starts and works correctly, but other games crash. I think i finally have figured it out. windows update installs newer drivers for both nvidia and intel hd530 graphic controller. So i disabled the automatic driver update, and downgraded the HD530 driver to the latest provided by acer(20.19.15.4352). With the acer version of the HD 530 driver installed, the latest nvidia driver from nvidia started to function(436.48). So maybe something is custom in this driver. Now everything works So, if anybody with a predator 17 G9-791 have problems with nvidia, it may be worth to try the onboard graphic driver from acer first. Thanks for the help

Hei @Micha I realize it have been a while since this post, but is my daughters favorite game, and after a clean reinstall of here computer i did try this again. I did try the workarounds provided in the link, but none of them worked. The first option to change scaling option in nvidia control panel was impossible, since the option was not there on the laptop. But i did try to change the settings.ini file , and the compability tab for niche.exe. However none of those workarounds worked. Disabling the nvidia card, and using the intel hd 530 card worked, but this gives unplayable framerate. How do we debug this problem?

Ever since update 1.2.1 this game wont start for me. If i try to lauch the game, i get music in the background, and the game icon on the taskbar (See attached screenshot). Hovering over it does not show any image in the preview, and clicking it only opens this forum page. I tried to install beta 1.14 to see if it made a difference, and this worked. However i dont want to run beta version or be locked to old version. Version 1.2.1 (opt out of beta) or release_candidate both had the same start problems. I did get a crash on version 1.21. saves and crashlog is attached to this message. Saves.zip Crashes.zip
