<dt>2. (''Windows only'') Run the game on your dedicated graphics card&#58;</dt>

<dd>Many computers have two options for running games: ''integrated graphics'' (part of the processor) and ''dedicated graphics'' (a separate graphics card by NVIDIA or AMD). Stardew Valley should be run on the dedicated graphics, but that's not always the default (especially on laptops). If you're not sure if this applies to your computer, it's safe to just try the instructions below anyway &mdash; they just won't do anything if it doesn't apply.

To fix this:
 +
 
 +
# From the start menu, search for ''Graphics Settings'' and open it.
 +
# In the window that opens, click "Browse" near the top and choose <samp>StardewModdingAPI.exe</samp> in [[Modding:Game folder|your game folder]] (or <samp>Stardew Valley.exe</samp> if you play without mods).
 +
# In the app list, click "Options" under <samp>StardewModdingAPI</samp> (or <samp>Stardew Valley</samp> if you play without mods).
 +
# Change the Graphics preference to "High performance".
 +
# Save.
 +
# Check whether it launches fine now.
