Hitman Sniper Challenge keeps freezing
Has anyone encountered problems starting Hitman Sniper challenge? I can start up the game menu fine but when I actually try to play it would give me this cinematic of a city and then freeze. Any suggestions?
I'm using:
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel(R) HD Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M (not sure which one the game is using, probably the nvidia. I'll have to double check)
8 GB RAM
Apologies if someone created a similar thread before, I've searched and found nothing similar to this problem.

Ok nvm I figured it out. It's because of the dual gfx card set up sometimes not all the games run nicely on the default settings. I'll post the solution to the problem here in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.
I had to open the NVIDIA control panel and change the settings in "Adjust Image Settings" to "Use Advance 3D Settings"

After than in "Manage 3D Settings" I changed the option to "High performance NVIDIA processor" instead of Auto select. Auto select will use the Intel integrated card if the game is not optimized for systems with dual gfx cards or recognize and use NVIDIA's Optimus technology. I had the same problem with Sonic Generations and had to switch the settings manually.

I hope this helps any one who runs into a similar problem in the future.
