A wierd issue has happened to me.
I'm running X4 on my HP Pavilion i5 laptop with Intel HD Graphics 630 & Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 graphics card.
Iv been playing for a good 12 hours since Friday's launch, playing a good 8 hours yesterday.
Iv had the odd CTD, but generally happy with how it's gone so far.
Now since launch, Iv used the installed settings, as the game loaded & played without issues, Iv never touched any of the graphic settings after install.
Then after taking a break last evening, upon re-starting the game, I'm now seeing a RED (!) by the graphic settings which is telling me the memory card graphics could run out of memory & reduce the quality/resolution. When I then check the settings, it's telling me that it's using the HD Graphics 630, not the GTX 1050 I would expect.
This warning was definitely not displayed in the numerous times that Iv loaded the game over the past two days, you can't miss it!
I can't be sure if it's been using this card from the install, as I never had any reason to check, the game was running well on 'High' settings since install, that I checked.
Questions...
Why/how has this message suddenly appeared after nearly two days play, when no graphics settings were changed since I started playing?
How do I get the game to use the GTX 1050 card. The only option I can see in this setting is the HD Graphic 630?
Btw, the Nvidia driver is up to date, with no updated drivers within the last week, also Iv checked that the card is still working in Elite Dangerous...it is.

Re: Sudden Issue with Graphic Card Setting
Ok, thanks.
That explains the warning signs.
So how then can I get the graphics settings to use my GTX 1050.
There is no option for me to use this, only the HD 630.
It probably means that Iv been using the HD 630 since launch then. Game's been playing well at High settings with it.
