Heroic not using dedicated GPU

Heroic isn’t using the dedicated GPU. I enabled ‘Use Dedicated GPU’, but it’s still not working. I kept running nvidia-smi and noticed it only uses the GPU for a split second. Any idea what the issue is and how to fix it?

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:13 PM

NO , i don''t see that option

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:13 PM

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:13 PM

No, literally in game

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:13 PM

Boot the game

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:14 PM

oh ok

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:17 PM

It’s taking too much time to load. Now it’s running at around 8 FPS, so it’s hard to move the cursor

I’ll ping you once I’m done. Thanks.

I would suggest quitting game and running again

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:17 PM

As i imagine it compiles shaders now but without a precompile screen

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:18 PM

For your NV gpu

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:18 PM

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:18 PM

Yep

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:19 PM

But isn't it necessary to complete this task first?

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:19 PM

Is there anyway to get to the game settings without this

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:19 PM

It is, i assumed you didnt get prompted with that when you switched gpu

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:20 PM

As first precompile was done against your Intel gpu, now it has to for your NV one

Ddry-scarlet It is, i assumed you didnt get prompted with that when you switched gpu

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:20 PM

Wait, I didn't changed the gpu yet

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:20 PM

I actually removed the proton prefix,

rubber-blueOP•12/20/25, 2:21 PM

i thought it's something related to that first

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:21 PM

Game has denuvo afaik so better avoid doing such things back to back

dry-scarlet•12/20/25, 2:21 PM

Otherwise after 4th activation you will get 24h cooldown
