  1. Open the Nvidia Control Panel.
  2. Make a new profile for Fortune Summoners (sotes.exe in the installation folder).
  3. Under 3D Settings choose Manage 3D settings.
  4. Change multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration to single display performance mode.
  5. Click Save to save your changes.
  6. Run the game again.
Disable additional monitors[citation needed]
  1. Disable additional monitors.
  2. Start the game.
  3. Enable the monitors when finished.

Performance issues on Windows 8 and newer

Method 1: apply DxWrapper[1]
