Nexon Launcher - "graphic card" error

Every time I open Mabi using the Nexon Launcher, I get this alert:

Now, my laptop is a couple of years old at this point, but it does have a GeForce 880M, which has always been more than enough to run Mabi at full settings (not like that really says much, heh).

This doesn't occur when running Mabi through Steam, though. I've the latest drivers from Nvidia (even just updated today), as well.

So... is there any way to get this to stop popping up? Or is it something faulty with the Nexon Launcher that Nexon needs to fix?

*EDIT* Okay, I did find a fix for it!

Through the Nvidia Control Panel, I had to add the copy of Mabi installed through Nexon Launcher to the list of programs with custom 3D settings, and make sure it was forced to use the GeForce GPU instead of the integrated Intel GPU (in-game, it always showed it as running on the GeForce GPU, so I'm not sure why it might've thought it was using the Intel GPU).

But, hey, if anyone else runs into this issue, and you have an Nvidia GPU... that's the solution.

    @Erika Glad to hear that it was a fix in your situation, however most implementation of Nvidia Optimus choose not to honor the Nvidia Control Panel Settings. This has been an issue since the release of the technology, since it is not required by Nvidia that they do so.
    Out of curiosity, what brand of laptop do you have?
