TBH doolitlle, your having a different problem.

I am talking about the stock issue that has over 480 people suffering from it.... which you do not have.

However you problem is similar. So trying it wont harm.

And tweaks like, perfomance improvements and the latest driver features graphic improvements.

Icecold have you tried these drivers 177.26 beta? I found this here on another forum http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=138038 I have not had a lot of time to test but so far have 3+ hours in game with explosions and taking damage. So far so good. just some more info that might help.

That driver is not designed for 8800 GTX + 32bit vista. Nvidia accidently released it for 8000 series 32 bit, they have now withdrawn it And released it for a more compatable 64 bit plus other chipsets. And i did try it... no luck... in fact i found it very ustable causing most newer games to crash.

From a post by me in the 'other' thread about 177.26:

Explanation: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/...showtopic=9243
Drivers and Mod INF download page: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/...howtopic=19001

The 177.26 drivers above are stated as being "ASUS-released" drivers and make no comments about the drivers being "Beta" etc....or having been "withdrawn", etc...

I have been using the driver I posted a link too and I have had no problems so far with 15 + hrs of in game. My other games seem too work fine. I hoped it would help others with the same problem. So I am happy and will continue with what I have until there is something better WHQ certified.

My experience/results with the 177.26 drivers, quoting my other post in the other thread:

Running SH4 1.5 with W_Clear's EE Mod, as I have reported elsewhere in several threads/forums, I previously had 90% success with some drivers but only with Post Processing and/or Envrionmental Effects turned off in In-Game options.

My 177.26 results, with all In-Game options enabled/maxed: I have not had the CTDs/BSODs which have plagued me for months with all other drivers when trying to run 1.5 with Pacific Environment Mod. I've not run a "full" mission yet, or a campaign/career patrol...but so far, it looks like these 177.26 Drivers are the solution!!!!! Keeping fingers crossed for the time being, though.

I have another custom Test mission which has 6+ DD's charging/attacking my sub, with extensive Deck guns firing, plus I get to make some simultaneous Torp hits/explosions. If I get the CTD's/BSODs I'll report back here. Otherwise, Silence from me means continuing success with 177.26 drivers.



FYI...My Rig:
ASUS P5N32-E SLI
Dual core E6700 Cpu
2GB OCZ PC2 8800 (1100Mhz) RAM
BFG 8800GTX w/768MB Graphics card

The problem was with folks using SH4 1.5, 8800 series graphics cards, Vista, and Pacific Environment MOD. These 177.26 drivers appear to be the solution.
