Boo, my bad! You're using a "P" series CPU, meaning there's no GPU on it (http://ark.intel.com/products/69114/Intel-Core-i5-3350P-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz)

So that's why the option isn't there.

Any chance of trying with clean drivers again? That GTX960 should be plenty for Endless Legend...

I reinstalled the drivers and prayed that it would work. But nothing changed...

Got two more "workarounds" which helped others here : https://steamcommunity.com/app/289130/discussions/0/617320628397380568/

I've found a temporary solution - running a graphically intence programm like MSI Afterburner in the background "ramping up" the gpu and now i get no hitches.

and

347.09 Drivers seems to have helped alot on GTX 970 issues.

I tried this and still nothing changed :(

Still waiting for any new information that might lead to a possible fix.....

ok im gonna give this one more day, then im refunding this stuff man........... i really dont wanna go thru this whole process 

I sincerely encourage you to try out the various troubleshooting steps.

Each and every computer system is configured slightly differently - this is why the vast majority of the ~880,000 players (https://steamdb.info/app/289130/graphs/) do not encounter such issues.

Chances are, that you'll still have issues - but then you know that you tried your best.

Chances are also, that you'll manage to get it working and then enjoy this great game ^^

Can you try putting "-force-d3d11" in the Steam launch options?

that did not fix it sadly :( instead i was met with a large pink screen after the first loading screen

We've troubleshooted the "pink screen" issue a while ago : https://www.games2gether.com/endless-legend/forum/13-tech-support/thread/5388-can-t-start-tutorial-and-pink-screen?page=2#thread

The things which helped others were:

- reinstalling both Steam and Endless Legend

- running the game in 32-bit mode

I am already running the game in 32-bit mode because of recommendations from other forums. Maybe that effects something?

Boo, my bad! You're using a "P" series CPU, meaning there's no GPU on it (http://ark.intel.com/products/69114/Intel-Core-i5-3350P-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz)

So that's why the option isn't there.

Any chance of trying with clean drivers again? That GTX960 should be plenty for Endless Legend...

I reinstalled the drivers and prayed that it would work. But nothing changed...

Can you try:

- disabling the "depth of field"

- setting the post processing to "medium" or "low"

- trying with VSync either "on" or "off"

?

I will do that as soon as possible :) Hopefully it all works out soon.... really want to play this game

Can you check what your GPU temperatures are, while Endless Legend is running?

You can use GPU-Z for example : https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

I checked and my GPU is at a solid 39 degress. But i noticed that my clock speed did not change at all. So might the problem lie with that?

Yes, it could very well be that the GPU is not getting utilized properly.

But this is usually a driver / nVIDIA control panel issue.

Perhaps using DDU before re-installing the drivers could help - I'm not sure.
