Hello, have you read the “Most common issues”  on point 2:

2. You are using a laptop and the game does not work
If you are using a laptop with two graphics cards, make sure that you select the dedicated / more powerful card as the primary device in the graphics card settings. It’s a very common problem that the less powerful graphics card is set as the primary device and as a consequences, games do not run.

Therefore a small howto:

1. Open the Nvidia control panel

2. Open the tab 3D-settings -> 3D-settings management

3. locate the .EXE from train fever (c:\program files(x86)\steam\steamapps\common\trainfever\trainfever.exe)

4. select the dedicated GPU

5. click apply6. have fun!

Hi alll,

I have just downloaded the game from Steam and am having similar problems. Initially I got the “update your drivers” message which I have done. I have also verified my game cache without problems.

Now the title page displays for about five seconds and then disappears as the program quits back to the desktop screen.

I am on an Acer aspire 7560G with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphic card.

Any thoughts?

quick update

Still crashes about 10 seconds after it opens.

But if I am quick I can hit NEW GAME and even START , the game says “preparing to play” and then crashes.

Most annoying

For all guys with a laptop and two graphic cards, I found a solution in a german forum

http://www.train-fever.net/index.php/Thread/1541-Spiel-nutzt-NVIDIA-Grafik-nicht/?pageNo=3

You just have to change 2 variables in regedit.

Trains are running now! *happy*
