I've a game where 3D settings can be overridden from Nvidia control panel's "Global Settings" tab, but not using the "Program Settings" tab (per-game/EXE override). Other games do work properly.

Another oddity is how the specific game shows in the Nvidia "Program Settings" game selection dropdown.
Normal overridable games show: "Game Name (filename.exe)"
The non-overridable game shows :"full-path-to-exe (full-path-to-exe)"

Any idea how to get it to work?

Some games may uses launcher to load & execute the main code as seperate process, and then promptly removes/exits itself (the launcher) from active process list. That would usually confuses the NVidia 3D settings.

That's the only EXE and it's the actual game, based on file size.
