The Dependencies list: open the gfxCardStatus menu when your discrete GPU is active to see what is turning it on. Manually switch to Integrated Only or Discrete Only mode to force one GPU on or the other. However, we received information from the developer, Cody Krieger, that failing to load on boot (despite the option being selected) could be caused by the ‘Load gfxCardStatus at startup’ option being checked while in one location (for example ‘Downloads’) and then the application being moved to another location (such as ‘Applications’). So, how do we fix this? Well, it’s very simple. If you have (or might have) moved the location of the gfxCardStatus since the ‘Load gfxCardStatus at startup’ option was selected, simply go back into the preferences of gfxCardStatus, uncheck the ‘Load gfxCardStatus at startup’ option and recheck it again. ![]() And, an update on the Mac OS X BSOD ‘superbug’…ĭuring our discussions with gfxCardStatus developer Cody Krieger, we also got some information which will come as great news to users affected by the OS X BSOD ‘superbug’ problem in that the next release of gfxCardStatus, v2.3 should work correctly for solving this issue.

I upgraded Big Sur to the latest version yesterday and went ahead and tried playing without gfxcardstatus. UPDATE: Regarding the automatic graphics switching, I did see it again. Unfortunately, I'm an Apple freak so I keep going back to them. I want to gather enough info before I contact them that they (or they'd just suggest to go back to manufacturer's settings or blame it on the game). I work in IT and honestly hate every time they give me the run around. Glad my input has helped some of you, for the time being.
