His first involvement came 10 minutes in when he had the chance to take a touch, turn and shoot but instead opted for a failed lay-off to McAtee.
The 23-year-old had just seven touches in the first half, despite Forest having 55% of possession.
Kalimuendo was found with a defence-splitting pass by Neco Williams in the second half, but his failure to get a shot away perhaps highlighted a lack of recent game time.
Dyche gave another summer signing the chance to impress in Austria, but like Kalimuendo, McAtee failed to deliver.
The former Manchester City midfielder was making his sixth Forest appearance since his summer move and should have opened the scoring inside 10 minutes but he put his effort inches wide.
There were glimpses of the talent McAtee possesses but his 70% pass accuracy summed up his night.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen Sean Dyche was speaking to us pitchside at Graz's Merkur Arena on Wednesday night, he mentioned he had brought young players with the squad "as a necessity", which begs the question: how has it come to this already?
Forest spent about £200m in the summer, receiving roughly half that amount in sales, with the idea of building a squad capable of competing on several fronts. So how are they short of numbers already?
Well, let's look at the strikers. Chris Wood is injured, Igor Jesus is suspended (after being booked in all three of Forest's European games), and Taiwo Awoniyi was not named in the Europa League squad by Nuno Espirito Santo, which leaves you with one fit senior striker for the meeting with Sturm Graz - Arnaud Kalimuendo.
Similarly, with the wingers, Omari Hutchinson was excluded from the squad by Nuno, and now the Reds have injuries to both Callum Hudson-Odoi and Dilane Bakwa, leaving Dan Ndoye as the only senior out-and-out winger.
The other fact worth noting is that you can name 12 subs for a Europa League game, so most clubs would quickly be resorting to young players once they have a few injuries anyway.
But, with Forest having one eye on a massive Premier League game against Leeds United at the City Ground on Sunday, the last thing they need is any more injuries picked up later.
Dyche is juggling that with the fact that a victory of any kind, against any opposition in any competition, would also be very welcome, with Forest having won just once anywhere since opening day.

Here are some of your comments:
Toby: Is it too soon to say Ange Postecoglou would 100% be a traitor? Neco Williams 100% a faithful, along with Ryan Yates. On the fence about Morgan Gibbs-White, I must say.
Phil: Biggest faithful - Bob McKinlay. 682 appearances over 18 years. Traitor - Pierre van Hooijdonk. Went on strike because he thought he was bigger than the club.
Kevin: The obvious traitor is Van Hooijdonk and that doesn't need much explanation. A talented player but no loyalty whatsoever. For faithful, I would probably go for Steve Chettle. Nottingham lad, came through the ranks and didn't really want to leave.
Rob: Nuno Espirito Santo would be ideally suited to being a traitor. He has even got a decent track record - earn the trust of those around you, dazzle them with flattery and a brief wave of success, then... bam! Leave them in the lurch and move on to someone new.
Paddy: Forest faithful would have to be Yates, our captain and local lad. Doubtful we would ever get a bid that might test his faith though. Traitor seems harsh, but Gibbs-White's dalliance with Spurs left a sour taste in some mouths and he hasn't performed at his best since.

Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest's European campaign continues on Thursday night as they face Austrian side Sturm Graz in the Europa League, but Sean Dyche's squad is facing a serious test of depth.
Speaking on BBC Radio Nottingham, Forest commentator Colin Fray outlined the scale of the selection challenge and the balancing act Dyche faces as he looks to keep their European hopes alive.
Dyche's preparations for the trip to Austria have been complicated by an extensive list of absentees, with several key players unavailable due to injury, suspension, or squad restriction.
"Everybody knew when Forest qualified for Europe that it would be a juggling act this season," Fray said. "And at the moment, they have got as many points from three Europa League games as they have in the entire of the Premier League season.
"But he (Sean Dyche) has got issues tonight, and you could tell that was on his mind a little bit. He's got at least 10 players unavailable tonight due to either not being in the squad, being suspended or due to injuries.
"And not included in that 10 is Elliot Anderson, who's not amongst the party of players who were at the ground last night. Potentially, 11 players unavailable for him tonight."
Image source, Getty ImagesNottingham Forest's Neco Williams has urged the team to avoid "regret" and "kick on" in Europe.
The Reds face Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday and speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham's Colin Fray, Williams reflected on a squad that knows the urgency of the moment but is eager to prove it belongs on both domestic and European stages.
The Reds currently sit 17th in the Europa League table after one win, one draw and one defeat, and with a faltering domestic form that includes six losses in their opening 10 Premier League games.
"It's been a mixed set, obviously very different opponents, but we are ready for it," said Williams.
"Three games in now, there's no time to adjust to the games, teams and the atmosphere. We've really got to kick on now, and I think it's so important that we start ticking off these points because we don't want to look back on regret of coming to places like this and not performing and not getting any points.
"This is not a tournament that we just want to be a part of. We are in this tournament to win it, and we all believe that we will as long as we are performing and doing everything the manager says, tactics-wise, sticking to the game plan, and just giving it our all.
"We know as a team that we can do better, and we will do better. It's just about the basics for me - you have to work hard, you have to give absolutely everything out on the pitch."
