    Hi, all of a sudden when I try to run my game, i get this error message:

    'ams.exe blocked from accessing graphics hardware'

    I'm using nvidia 970m sli set up

    Any ideas how to unblock it?
    Thanks

    Is there a technical support department I can submit this too?
    I can't find any details online how to rectify this.
    I've updated my graphics card drivers, but still no good.
    The game wont start unless I disable the nVidia anti aliasing settings and use the games (poor) choices.

    Thanks, I already saw that video, its for intel, I have Nvidia.
    I can't find any solution.

    I just bought a upgraded package of this game (beta access and future discounts).

    It's working now.
    I THINK some of the anti aliasing settings in the Nvidia Inspector control panel are not compatible with this game.

    I use nvidia inspector to overide the games original graphic settings for improves anti aliasing.

    Just in case anyone has similar problems, don't choose '8xsq' or '8xq' something like that.
    I'm actually running it at '32xs' now and its ok.

    This 'blocked from accessing graphics hardware' seems a pretty annoying issue that happens to gamers from time to time (not on Automobilista, but on various games in general), with little support or clear ways to resolve it.

    I'm just glad I have the game running, as I'm salivating to get the Brands Hatch DLC and dive in.


    Thanks
