Bluto Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sound stutters, video scene redraws and game freeze in battles with a large number of buildings. Did not see this issue in earlier releases.

Dennis50 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I think the latest driver for that card is 169.25 and it looks like you are using 169.06. Don't know if it will help you or not ..might be worth a try. Gunz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Get the newest nvidia drivers, and slap happy posted this in another thread: Have you guys seen this? I found this link on a discussion board about the exact same problem you guys are discussing - or at least C3K anyway. The "nvlddmkm" issue.... http://www.nvidia.com/object/windows_vista_hotfixes.html Important: These hotfixes only concern Vista users! I have tried the hot fix, and so far so good, still testing, but faster frame rates and no stutter. Rune 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluto Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks, I had downloaded, never installed. I installed 169.25, still see the same problem, but not as severe. The landscape redraws, sound stops and the game hangs for a second or two. I have installed the hotfix that you linked to also, still no improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibone Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I had big problems with 169.25 in a few games. Rolled back to 163.75 and all is well for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
