Hey guys, so I use Genymotion for Clash of Clans (don't judge me, ha), because it's nicer sometimes to have the bigger screen. Bluestacks doesn't work for me so that's not an option for my issue either, sorry.
Anyway, at first it was fairly glitchy - the screen would bounce and lag around when I tried to move it, the little unit animations would jump and lag as well. I can't remember exactly why, though if I recall correctly I was sort of forced to download a driver for my NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics card, I had always thought my graphics card was integrated but I clicked okay. Again, I can't remember 100% if this is what solved the issue before (I want to make that clear). All I know is that a few things happened:
1) At some point I downloaded the nvidia software crap
2) At some point my graphics using Genymotion improved considerably
3) I removed the nvidia graphics driver because I *DO* have an integrated graphics card, so I thought perhaps the nvidia wasn't actually nvidia and was instead a clever virus/trojan/malware. (My computer started doing weird things after I downloaded genymotion, like the wireless card shutting off until I restarted my computer completely, still does it, still have no idea why)
4) Immediately upon removing it the glitchy jumpiness returned to genymotion, but everything else works pretty fine.
5) I reinstalled nvidia and the glitchiness hasn't stopped.
I checked my computer and I DO have two graphics cards, apparently. My question is, is it now using my integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 for Genymotion, which is why it's jumpy? Is it some other known issue? Can I solve this? I searched ALL over the internet about fixes for genymotion, and nothing. A few mention it's "too glitchy and laggy to use" but there's no one that I can find who's asked the question "How do I fix this lag?" and certainly no answers to it, though it is apparently a common problem.
Anyone got a fix? Appreciate it guys.
As far as my level of tech understanding - I know how to navigate my computer, and I can fix things with someone troubleshooting me, but I have 0 technical experience so anything remotely advanced I may need a bit of extra coaching.
EDIT: I have a laptop, it's an acer Aspire V3-771 with intel i7 64 bit. Windows 8. Any other specs ask me and I'll let you know.
SECOND EDIT: So I did some researching around as far as "two graphics cards" goes, and apparently people get picky about what a graphics card actually is. I'm aware that integrated isn't a real graphics card, however a computer *can* function with only an integrated, and that's what I thought my computer had. Once I deleted the driver and all programs associated with the nvidia graphics card the problem with the game appeared, and when I reinstalled them, it didn't go away. That's my issue.
