Hey everyone, 

Endless is like my favorite game series ever and literally the only videogames that I play so that is a huge let down for me. :( I hope you can help.

Everytime I start the game it crashes a few seconds after the first loading screen. If I click very fast, I'm able to agree to the alpha-terms-of-use and enter the main menu.

The game is showing no graphic bugs, glitches and sound problems else from crashing a few seconds after loading showing the typical "Endless Space 2 has stopped working" without a reason at all. 

I tried reinstalling, running as admin and the usual things. I tried setting the starting properties on "-novideo" as suggested by the Internet.

Drivers are up to date.

Hardware is:

Acer Aspire V3-571G

Intel Core i5-3210M 2,5 GHz

NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 M with 2 GB dedicated RAM

Please help me, I'm really desperate. :(

Thank you in advance, 

Mia

"Hi all,

For those running on HD graphics only: the game is not officially supported (as per store page) on Intel HD graphics, only on Nvidia / AMD chipsets. You may however try to launch the game with the "--gui-compatibility=true" command line argument, in the General/Set Launch Options in Steam. The visual of the battles will be degraded though.

Regarding justme95: is the Nvidia card the only card on your computer? Do you have an Intel HD as well? If this is the case, try to go to your NVidia settings and force the game to run on the Nvidia card."

Thanks. That worked for me. Just found it in the forums.

You should force your Nvidia card to be used via the Nvidia Control Panel

The game is likely trying to use your Intel card which is the source of your issues
