Hey all,

I have a bit of an issue. It isn't anything major, but it's becoming just a little annoying. Before the recent FTB launcher update (to 1.22), I had no problems getting my computer to use my graphics card while playing FTB before the update. I'd gone into the nVidia control panel and manually told it to use my graphics card when running java 7 64 bit. However, after the update, the game always seems to use my integrated graphics card, even though I've told it to specifically use my nVidia card. I've tried removing and re-adding that choice to no avail. The only way I can get it to use my nvidia card is if I just set that as my global option. Being on a laptop, I'd rather not have to do this every time I play Minecraft since it unnecessarily drains power when I forget to change it back. Does anyone know what could possibly be the issue?

Note: I only have the 64 bit java installed, and it's the latest version. I had the 32-bit a few weeks back, but switched to 64 when I found it would give better performance. 32 has been uninstalled.
