fullscreen issues - mesamatt - 02-23-2017

I have a Toshiba satellite
Specs:
6th gen I7
intel HD graphics 530
Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M
16 GB DDR4
1.5 TB Hybrid drive

when launching the game, it goes into full screen but still shows the desktop only zoomed in. the screen is just the desktop but still plays audio. the game is unplayable. I can get it to run with the integrated graphics perfectly fine. it only wont work with the Geforce GPU. I have the newest drivers for all of my component's. please assist in any way that you can. thank you!

yes I have. nothing has worked so far. for now until it is resolved I will have to use integrated graphics. although my framerate will suffer

Aren't you able to specify a preferred GPU somewhere?

yes but the NVidia graphics card is the one that does not work. and that is the one I want to use.

the integrated graphics works but at low framerate and poor quality

Perhaps the issue relates to DPI scaling. On the Soma.exe file, try going to Properties > Compatibility > Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.
