IMPORTANT FOR DUAL GRAPHICS SYSTEMS

If you have a PC equiped with an Integrated Intel graphics and a discrete NVIDIA or AMD graphics it is probably that S2Engine will not start.
This is due to the fact that Operating System (Windows) automatically set the preferred graphics processor the integrated one, so all applications that aren't in the list of recognized 3d applications of NVIDIA or AMD are switched to use the Intel integrated graphics.
To solve this you have manually set s2engine in the list of application in NVIDIA control panel (or AMD equivalent).
In addition in the latest versions of Windows10 (from 2004 version) and in Windows11 this could be not sufficient: you have also to configure 3d graphics in the windows settings.
See here for a detailed explaination about what to do:

IMPORTANT NOTE

In order to make all engine applications to run in the right way It is important that you set S2PrefabSync.exe, S2TestApp.exe, S2FrontEnd.exe and S2Editor.exe in the list of applications in the NVIDIA or AMD panel.
