FIX for laptop Using Nvidia (like 970m...)

I notice that the game don't autodetect the gpu correctly even with the latest driver soo for now you can force your nvidia gpu to be always used as temporary fix.

How to :

- Go to Nvidia geforce experience icon
- Right click, nvidia control panel

- create a new profile by clicking the “Add” button, then navigate to the game executable in your steam folder ( ex : D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim special edition\

OR

-In Preferred graphics cards processor ; select high perfomance Nvidia processor.

Now you can launch the game and enjoy it , but remember this will be probably be fixed in a short time so don't forget to revert back to original settings if you don't wan't your battery to be drain.

if you add both the skyrimSE launcher and the skyrimSE executable to nvidia control and set both to use high performance gpu, then the launcher should correctly set up the graphics when run. i have a gaming laptop. desktops are for people who need to get out more.

I use the french version of Skyrim SE on a laptop equipped with Nvidia GTX980. I tried both methods but it seams no to work. Each time I do one or the other, the launcher appear in english with good detection of GPU and settings on ultra. When I aggree with the settings, the lancher then appear in french without detecting the Nvidia GPU and with settings on lowest quality.
I don't know what's wrong...
