Rimworld doesnt use the GPU you select in Nvidia panel

Hey,

I have a laptop with dual graphics, Intel UHD630 and Nvidia GTX1050ti. I want to play Rimworld with the Intel graphics, so the laptop stays fanless, also doesnt use too much power on battery or that I can play with small 60W usb c charger, compared to large 180W charger.

The issue is now, that it seems, for whatever reason, that Rimworld ignores the forced GPU, you can select in the Nvidia panel, and always uses the Nvidia GPU. I monitor this via HwInfo and MSI Afterburner Overlay.

I also tried right click on RimWorldWin64.exe and select "run with this graphics processor" and chose Intel, still, it will be ignored.

The override works for me with any other game or application, but not Rimworld.

Would be a great change, if you maybe could implement a "chose GPU" setting in the game itself, in the graphics settings, and/or could look into, why it ignores the "run with gpu" setting of Windows 10 / Nvidia Panel.

I am using latest stable Steam version.

Thanks for reading
