supernet2ec: It is a laptop gaming system. It is the Acer Predator 17 Gaming Laptop, Core i7, GeForce GTX 1060, 17.3" Full HD G-SYNC, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, G9-793-73MB
with win10 pro x64 os. Not sure what else i should check out, running win10 20H2 update as well, and i tried playing with only the laptop as a laptop (off the one screen), tweaking and configuring the geforce graphics card as suggested in the gog support section, as well as directing the game to try the GTX 1060, then the integrated Intel HD 630.
I tried from the factory os that came with it (Win10 1903 drivers), then with my gaming partition with the win10 pro 20H2, and those both proved fruitless. I am totally open to suggestions. Also i tried the SpellForce 2 mod DB patcher utility that fixes any graphical issues (after throughly testing all compatability settings and tweaks provided on forums on gog, steam, and moddb).
I appreciate any help i can get! No problem tossing in another SSD or setting up another os on partition from scratch to figure this out. Worth mentioning i also reinstalled all dependances the error was referencing. I reinstalled all visual runtimes from 2005 to 2019 as i was uncertain which visual runtime c++ it was running on.
Edit:
Heres a copy and paste of the error code from event viewer, doesn't really help me much given it always generates these errors everytime i launch the SpellForce 2 Anniversary Edition. Thoughts?

Please make sure the game runs on the Nvidia chip and not the internal IntelHD chip. That is causing the issue right now.
