Games not detected in NVIDIA Experience.

RyanTaylorrz · Apr 9, 2016

I have the latest drivers installed, restarting my computer doesn't help.
I currently have Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3 installed, both of which are compatible but neither are showing up.
Clicking "scan for games" just scans then finds nothing, currently no other games are detected either.
My games are installed on the main C:/ drive - I have other drives but they do not contain any files.
I have tried inputting a more specific directory into the "games" tab of the preferences, still nothing.
Both games are bought legally and through Steam.

Cheers!

download the latest drivers with GeForce experience and when installing choose clean install

Dulith1118 :

I already have the lasted driver, just tried a reinstall and it didn't help. Also there was no "clean install" option. Only "express" or "custom"?

Fallout 4 does work with GeForce Experience. When you install GF, it won't recognize some games until you go into the game for a bit. Do these games show up in the Manage 3d Settings tab of the Nvidia control panel?

Tbonius :

It has before, and it's also in the list of compatible games?
Yes both games appear as their respective exe files in control panel.

Have you tried running the GFExperience .exe as administrator?

Tbonius :

Funnily enough I was using Nexus Mod Manager for Fallout 4 earlier and encountered an issue saying it didn't have write-permissions. Running it as administrator fixed the issue so I thought it would for Experience - just tried again now, still not working unfortunately.

My drive is brand new as well it's extremely unlikely to be a write issue, but it seems there's something denying applications access to my files?

Edit: noticed you meant the .exe file straight from the directory, nope, still not detecting either game...

You say you have other drives but they don't have any files on them. Do you mean ANY files or any game files?

RyanTaylorrz · Apr 9, 2016

Tbonius :

One of them is completely empty and the other just has a few files on it that I've carried over before a recent system reboot. Nothing to do with steam or game files, though.

Although you may have already seen it, this is why I asked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-ZDeq6kPbQ

Tbonius :

Yeah I saw this, my issue is seemingly different to this...
... I honestly can't think why it's not finding the games.

You probably know this, but this seems to be a common problem. If you go to the nvidia geforce forums, somebody may have an obscure solution for you. The majority of the problems seem to be based on either read/write permissions or problems with multiple storage devices. If it were me, the next thing I would try would be to disconnect all drives other than the boot drive(I assume this is the same drive where your games are located) and see what happens. I know it's not much, but that's about all I've got.
