splooger Posted September 1, 2002 Share Posted September 1, 2002 I have a GeForce4 ti 4200 and when I try to play using Quincunx antialising the game just gives me a black screen when I try to start it. It actually forces me to reboot my system. The other AA modes seem to work OK, but I only notice a difference at 4xS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Supposedly the 29.4x and the 30.82 drivers fixed all of the FSAA mode problems of the GeForce4 family (the earlier GeForce cards didn't have these problems). It is highly suggested that you don't use the 40.41 Detonators (the latest beta available from NVidia this time around). They are completely problematic in CM and other games (despite some higher benchmark scores in DirectX). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splooger Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 Forgot to mention I'm using the 30.82 drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 What drivers were you using before the 30.82's ? Did you uninstall those drivers completely before isntalling the 30.82's ? If you didn't then there's a possiblitity that some registry entry or .DLL file hung around which is maintaining the problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splooger Posted September 2, 2002 Author Share Posted September 2, 2002 I was using whatever drivers came right before the 30.XX. I use W98SE and have never installed the 40.XX drivers. By the way, is it necessary to unistall your old drivers when the new drivers use an install shield program for installation like all the latest NVIDIA drivers do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 Yes, I recommend uninstalling your old drivers before installing new ones. The convenience that the 'Installshield' interface offers is a wizard-based install that makes removing the software fairly easy with the Add/Remove Programs control panel. Other methods involve a far more manual process of removing drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-Joe Posted September 3, 2002 Share Posted September 3, 2002 Having the same problem with 29.42's. I can alt-tab the black screen then reopen and all is well, except I have to do it on each opening screen. Without AA it appears to work fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted September 4, 2002 Share Posted September 4, 2002 Supposedly the 29.xx/30.xx drivers fixed the Quincunx AA mode problems that were appearing on the GeForce 4. You won't see Quincunx on anything less than a GeForce3 series to my knowledge. The latest 40.41 drivers have some problems with FSAA and it's best to turn OFF FSAA (by selecting 'Allow applications to control antialiasing mode' (which usually means no FSAA). A number of games are having problems with these latest drivers. It figures, NVidia fixed up things pretty well with the 30.xx series and when they attempt to add more performance something gets broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
