nVidia Driver Problems

Sun Mar 23, 2003 11:37 pm by pympernel

There seems to be a number of people using a couple of different nVidia cards.
Mainly the GeForce 4200TI.

I had problems with the game crashing in non flying scenes from 2 minutes to 30 minutes into the game and always at the start of Mission 4.

I changed my resolution to 800 x 600 resolution from 1024x768(default).
I have had only 1 crash since and have actually made a lot of progress in the single player. This was a vast improvement over crashing regularly at 1024x768.
I have also turned off anti-aliasing.

I am using a nVidia GeForce ti4200 with Detonator 41.09 drivers.

800x600 is not a huge difference. There is a small difference in space and then all the station/planetary scenes are a little jaggard. However the Game is playable and is fantastic. Looking forward to a fix though.

My system: P3-1000, 256MB-PC133, GF4Ti4200, SB Live!, Win98, Detonator 30.82, DX9

The trial worked perfectly, the full version caused some problems when I first installed it, the new installation runs fine and never crashed so far, I've logged about 30hrs and I'm in SP mission 12. But maybe the problem is with nVidia drivers 40.xx and above, I only had problems with those

Uh, could be that you're using BETA drivers. Try rolling back to the 40.72 WHQL certified Detonators and see if that clears things up.

Yuri, you're running Win98. 40.XX series drivers were originally designed for WinXP/2000 systems, though nVidia insists they'll work on 9X/ME systems. I ran into probs on my 98 system with 40.XX drivers too, and went back the v30.82 drivers.
