    11Seems we're not the only ones having this problem: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/549225/opengl/bug-with-nvoptimusenablement-dword-export-in-320-18-and-320-49-drivers-/

    3 The game works fine on Michael's new laptop which also has Nvidia Optimus (GT 730M) and Windows 8, but there's another crash report with a GT 610M [http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17444 here]. Also relevant: #998

    55I think the safest thing to do for now, as a workaround, is to disable the WMI based graphics query and only use `GL_VENDOR`/`GL_RENDERER`. If we use GL to detect Nvidia cards first, then it seems we've lost one advantage of the WMI approach (not needing GL to be init'd - does that ever matter?)  I don't know about more or less specific info, but on my system GL provides almost identical vendor and card name.
