You have to use following steps to make the thing working for you.

After installing the game you will need to update the system.
Once you have done you have to download acpi_call module and rebuild the kernel by using following code.

cd path_to_acpi_call
make clean
make 
sudo insmod acpi_call.ko

you will need to replace path_to_acpi_call with correct path.

You will have to save the following script so that it can switch to Intel card before it gets boot.

#!/bin/bash
# Enable intel glx on Asus EeePC 1015pn 

# Check if we are root, else exit
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
    echo "This script needs to be run as root"
    exit 1
fi

# is the acpi module loaded?
if lsmod | grep -q acpi_call; then
    echo "ACPI does not need to be loaded."    
else
    echo "ACPI needs to be loaded."    
    cd path_to_acpi_call
    insmod acpi_call.ko
    sleep 3
fi

# The call for the next time
echo ""
echo "Mode 1 is now set: After the next boot only the Intel chip is visible."
echo "\OSGS 0x01" > /proc/acpi/call

echo ""
echo "The 'update-alternatives' has been set"
update-alternatives --set gl_conf /usr/lib/mesa/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

# Very important: fiddle with glx and libgl
if [ -f "/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so" ] 
then
        echo ""
    echo "The library 'libglx.so' has been deleted."
    sudo rm /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so
else
        echo ""
    echo "The library 'libglx.so' doesn't exist and must therefore not be deleted."
fi

here also you have tor replace the 'path_to_acpi_call' with correct path.
In order to switch nvidia card before the boot process you will need to get the following script.

#!/bin/bash
# Disabe Intel Chip and enable nvidia on Asus EeePC 1015pn

# Check if we are root, else exit
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
    echo "This script needs to be run as root"
    exit 1
fi

# is the acpi module loaded?
if lsmod | grep -q acpi_call; then
    echo "ACPI does not need to be loaded."    
else
    echo "ACPI needs to be loaded."    
    cd path_to_acpi_call
    insmod acpi_call.ko
    sleep 3
fi

# The system is prepared such that the nvidia card is onlt visible
echo ""
echo "Mode 2 is now set: After the next boot only the Nvidia chip is visible."
echo "\OSGS 0x02" > /proc/acpi/call

# Copy the libglx file into usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/
# Without doing this, compiz does not work properly (I have no idea why) 
if ! [ -f "/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so.260.19.06" ] 
then
   cp /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/libglx.so.260.19.06 /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/
   chmod 644 /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so.260.19.06
   echo ""
   echo "The libglx has been copied"
fi

# Copy also the nvidia_drv.so file into usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/
# As above: compiz needs this (I have no idea why) 
if ! [ -f "/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so" ] 
then
   cp /usr/lib/nvidia-current/xorg/nvidia_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/
   chmod 644 /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/nvidia_drv.so
   echo ""
   echo "The nvidia_drv.so has been copied"
fi

update-alternatives --set gl_conf /usr/lib/nvidia-current/ld.so.conf
ldconfig
echo ""
echo "update-alternatives ... and ... ldconfig"

# Very important: The link 'libglx.so' needs to be created
if ! [ -f "/usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so" ] 
then
   ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so.260.19.06 /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so
   echo ""
   echo "The libglx link has been set"
else
   echo ""
   echo "The libglx link already exists"   
fi

echo ""
echo "Push a button ..."

As you are supposed to boot the laptop you will get an error message. Now you have to execute the 'Switch_intel.sh' or 'Switch_intel.sh' command on the computer and reboot the computer of yours and see whether it is working or not.
If you are not able to fix the matter of yours than I am suggesting that you should contact the technical support team to get the further assistance on this particular matter.
