Problem: On a system with two videocards, integrated and external, client crashes, if integrated card is disabled, after system restart. Intro: One of my laptop has "hybrid" videocard, i.e. integrated Intel HD 5500 and external geForce 920M. basically, Intel is responsible for desktop windows, but when i'm running a game - it runs on geForce. In a case of WURM, there is no "executable", it's jnlp, web-loading, so it always runs on a desktop card, intel HD5500. which makes game unplayable at high settings: 1. Both cards are up. 2. WURM is running 3. External card is inactive (i.e. it's running on crappy Intel card) and i was unable to find a way, to tell web-java-launcher, that he should run a game on external, geForce, videocard. therefore, i just disabled Intel HD driver in Device Manager, and after that game was running at high resolution et cetera pretty smoothly. But after restarting the laptop i was unable to launch a client: To reproduce: 1. Find a laptop with 2 videocards, integrated and normal one 2. Disable intgrated videocard and run a client. 3. Restart the laptop, run WURM, and enjoy "Oops" screen Workaround: 1. Open Device Manager 2. Enable integrated driver 3. Disable integrated driver 4. Run WURM it will run on external videocard at high setting and you will be happy: 1. Integrated card is down 2. Wurm is running on an external videocard. until next restart, though. I'm posting this to "Other bugs and issues" section because i think, that this is not a WURM client or server problem. This looks rather like JVM problem, looks like it tries to initiate first display found without checking is it active or not. but hopefully this info may save some nerves to the happy owners of laptop with "hybrid" videocards.
