    Hi folk,
    I bought Mafia2 and installed the game. If I try to start the game, the display will show the loading picture with the three heads, will break the game and will return to desktop.
    It's the fault of the Optimus technology. With a trick from this thread it works.
    To set the config from "0 0 1366 768 1 0 0 1" to "0 0 1366 768 0 0 0 1" make it possible to start the game but it doesn't solve the problem completely. Because the game is started in windowed mode and not in fullscreen.
    Does anybody knows how to play Mafia2 in fullscreen mode with the Optimus technology?
    Cheers, Saul
