BVE/OpenBVE Support / Re: [SOLVED] OpenBVE 1.5.1.5 still won't work correctly with me?

Thanks, this has helped to increase my FPS significantly!! I have also found another solution, as the battery of the PC was being drained much faster since the switch:
In the NVIDIA Control panel, in the Manage 3D settings tab, instead of changing the setting of the preferred graphics processor from Intel (or auto-select) to the built-in GPU from NVIDIA under global settings, you can click on the program settings tab, add OpenBVE (and Routeviewer if you want) under option 1, and under option 2 you can select which graphics processor you would like to use with the program. This way, OpenBVE runs with the NVIDIA GPU, and leaves most programs to Integrated Graphics of Intel if the global setting is on auto. It reduces battery usage if you have a laptop, as I found many apps using the GPU that didn't want/need it.
