How exactly did you get it to work? I am on the same boat, but I am missing the part where you changed the resolution etc. Also, did you do anything Geforce specific, such as force dis/en-abling VSync or AA or something?

Thanks for the time in advance!

You could try right-clicking the icon, selecting Properties, then selecting the Compatibility tab. In the lower half of the screen, under settings, there are boxes for reduced color, running it at 640x480, etc.,

I will warn you, though, I'm on Win 8.1, I've tried all the solutions I could find, and haven't gotten it working yet. All text flickers, and giant characters (like a 0 or o) appear on screen, and they each take up like 20% of the screen. Pretty annoying, and for me, unplayable. In game the main screen is OK but the four bottom screens flicker horrendously, and all text in game flickers out to not being really readable. If you find a solution, please let me know!

Good luck!

Finally fixed this on my system at least. Might be worth trying if you're still having issues.

I discovered this from someone helping a player of another game, but I can't post the link here, so I will give the summary of what he recommended.

Go to nvidia Control Panel, Manage 3d settings, and select the Global Settings tab. The first drop-down box should be preferred graphics processor. Make sure that your nvidia card is selected (mine had defaulted to integrated card somewhere along the way... ?!) Apply and close.

Then I set my laptop res to the same as max as Evolva's max 1400x1050. Then I hit Alt Ctrl F11 to get rid of the stretch. After that, I started Evolva, I then had to hit Ctr Alt F11 again, and then it played just fine. When I exited to desktop, I was able to re-set the desktop resolution back to 1920x1080. When I started Evolva after that, it had saved its graphics settings, and played just fine.

Hope this helps.
