CTDs with 175.16 Nvidia drivers

[Hylander_1314]

I tried the 175.16 drivers, and didn't have any issues, other than it deleted the Nvidia Control panel, with my darn Raid info, so I went back to the stock drivers that came with the eVga cards. BTW, I'm running in SLi, "2" 8800 GTS 512's. The only thing I can't get figured out, as I installed a DVI cable and took the analogue cable out (going to the monitor from the vid-card), but now I get banding like the display is in 16 bit, even though everything on the desktop says I've got 32 bit running.

I am having a lot of luck with the omega drvier set, they are based on the 169.25 drivers and have not given me anycrashes so far. I am running a 8800 GTS 640 Vista and all setting maxed/turned on.

I run x64 vista, But i might just try the same date x64 drivers and give em a whirl

I also have the 8800 640 so maybe i get lucky lol

Ohh my crashes in vista x64 are explosions, Other than those i can sail forever with no crashes lol weird but annoying

Gonna go dig some drivers out now and have a redo tomorrow

Have Fun

Explosions are usaully what gets me too.
With now that I've gotten to break in the omega drivers I've found that the frequency of my issues have dropped to less than half. When I do have an issue instead of a CTD I get a second of black then it keeps on ticking. about ten percent of the time I'll get an actual CTD but since that happens every 3-4 hours intead of every 10-15 minutes I'm much happier.

Hiya's,
Tried the latest vista x64 omegas

3 Torpedo attacks in the sub school doo dahh and all explosions went off without a crash

Alas i tried a 4th time and then it locked up, But not like it locked up using nvidia drivers ...................

Nvidia drivers my explosion lockups freezed the game and screen went blank (black) HD light would still be going and i had to hit reset button to reboot pc

Now with these omega drivers i get the nvlddmkm.sys error message then it reboots

So at least as you say the frequency is less and i had full settings and both AA @ x4

Did try a modified nvlkkmkm.sys file but still locked up

Will try again with different modded .sys over the weekend if i can find some

Have fun

Ciao

Running an EVGA 9800GX2, right when the torpedo explodes theres a 1/2 second pause then I get the explosion and on occasion things get jumpy. Otherwise seems ok. I have had the game freeze up in COD4.

Running single 8800GTS 512 on XP with latest drivers, no issues whatsoever. Only had SH4 crash on me once, when I right-clicked after drawing on the map...

SH4 1.4 + ROW + NSM

Hiya,
Welcome Aboard

Yeah 1.4 and 1.5 run flawlessly for me in XP

Just damned 1.5 in vista either x86 or x64 (i use x64)

I almost got a fix but still not 100%

Have Fun
