    Hello everyone
    I installed yesterday a new gtx 970m in my Alienware 17 r1. The installation went smoothly, I installed win 8.1 and ran it pure uefi, deleted old drivers with ddu and then Installed the 970m. I installed the 359 driver from eurocom site (second one here http://downloads.eurocom.com/support/drivers/upgradeyourlaptop/Alienware/), the card has been detected and I tested it on shadow of mordor, mgs5 and the Witcher, and everything went fine. Now with another game, Total War Attila, it says that I should install some new drivers, and it wouldn't run. The Nvidia driver released for this game back in March is 347.52. Now, what should I do to run this game? Shall I search for this modded driver and install it over the other? If yes, where do I find it?

    Thank you for your help
