  6. NVIDIA - Forceware 169.xx drivers break DOOM3 and T2/SS2

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    169.04 works fine for me. Doom 3 works just fine -- menus included. Ultra mode works fine.

     

    Well Im seriously considering selling my 8800GTX and getting a Powercolour HD3870, and then updating the bios and then wacking on a Thermaltake dual-orb cooler so I can get close the level of the GTX.

     

    I will then have 101% compatabilty, stars, fog, sky, shadows....

     

    The powercolour is one of the fastest 3871 @ 800core/2250mem, and with the bios update I take the core upto 900 and the mem upto 2400, and the dual-orb should keep it nice and cool 35-40c idle and 55-60c load from what I have read, and its far quieter than the stadard crap cooler. And to top it off the powercolour can be had for £143inc the dual-orb is £21inc

  7. NVIDIA - Forceware 169.xx drivers break DOOM3 and T2/SS2

    UPDATE 13-01-08:

     

    I have tested doom 3 with the 1.3.x patch and the latest nvidia forceware beta 169.28 and doom3 now works again.

     

    But thief2 is still broken, the main menu/cursor is still corrupt and when you try to start a game it crashed to desktop...

     

     

    ORIGINAL 29-12-07:

    Its been reported that Doom3 is broken under forceware drivers 169.21 and above under WinXp. The game is corrupted in both the menu and in-game, this also effects T2/SS2.

     

    I have found multiple instances of this drive breaking upto another dozen games on the nVidia forum

    Honestly these posts are getting old. Ever since there was that guy who made the fan mission about poop...yeah. I've never gone back to ttlg. There are far too many people that I'd like to ask that very question of.

    Orb, have you read anything...

     

    Im not having a go at ttlg, rather one of the morons on there that seems to get away with crap that other people get banned for..

     

    but I digress, I agree ttlg bashing is old these days.

    Just read about komags attempted return to ttlg... I then put a post up in the general section

    http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112346

    Lets see how long it stays up there for.. biker

     

    Update:

     

    I Pm'd some of the mod's and got this unexpected reply...

     

    I do realise the frustration some people feel over the Komag banning. And I also don't expect for a second that anyone believes me when I say I don't have a damned thing against him as a person and that he will probably always be one of the top five Saints of TTLG (if ever such a thing exists) due to his near single-handedly kicking the editing and fan mission community back to life and then doing far more than pretty much anyone else to keep it breathing until it was capable of standing up again.

     

    I think the above is never said because it honestly doesn't really need to be said. No one's under any illusions about his contributions to the Thief community, which is why the way everything ended was such a stupid and needless thing.

     

    But the tale of TTLG v. Komag is long, exceptionally Long, nobody wanted to ban him, and a lot of time and effort was spent trying to figure out a way to resolve things without it getting that far. In the end, however, the decision wasn't up to us. So we have what we have.

     

    Admins - Please lock this thread and remove all posts after this one, also change the title to just "Komag's ghost" (remove the ttlg admins are bitchy, as clearly some of them or not) please. I request this In the spirit of the ttlg admin who replied to my PM.

    That's better. :)

     

    Yeah, an animated GIF is the only way to do it without plugins.

     

    Personally I'd just abandon the animation effect; it doesn't really add anything. But of course it's your site.

     

    I have done for now, i will try to make upa gif thing if i can figure it out etc.

    Cool!

     

    I must say I really don't like your use of a Java applet to display the heading... Java chugs my system something terrible when it starts up for the first time. :( And I get (%@ Language=JavaScript %) - but with the parentheses replaced by angle brackets - displayed at the top of the page for some reason, which doesn't look like intended behaviour (Firefox 1.5).

     

    Glad you like the forum though. :)

     

    Yeah I need to look into that, I built this website when IE4 was the browser of choice.... When its loaded, the logo shimmers nicely - is there a lighter way of doing that without using java applets..?

     

    nb. Ive remplaced the applets with a pic instead for the time being and removed that eroneus java text thing.

    I would prefer this mod to succeed, I have basic 3Dmodeling exp. (imagine 2.0 on the amiga) I have never programed, Ive glanced at dromed(too convoluted for me)

     

    Your object designer program looks intuative and I think I could learn quite quickly and actually contribute something usefull given the chance etc.

     

    I am a senior computer engineer by trade and am also an electrical and electronic engineer by qualification, so I would say I am a tech who is intuative - what I dont know, I can learn etc.

     

    I believe your mod is the way forward for the commmunty...

    Hi Komag

     

    hehe, nice poll

    Your welcome mate, it was designed to make a point, I thought you might like it.

     

    So what execly is involved in doing a contest then..? would I be able to do it for you on your behalf etc, or is it far more complicated than that..? btw. ever thought of putting a forum on your website..? a nice simple one, no gifs/images/smiles etc so as to keep your bandwidth down etc..

     

    By the way, you guys should consider running a contest for TDM assets if you really want people to contribute. :D

     

    I did think of this, but I didnt think you would have the editor ready enough for this..?

     

    Yet more support 4 u komag
