pcelt Posted November 20, 2000 Share Posted November 20, 2000 I wonder if anyone is anyone using CM with V5500 and DX8 (Win98SE) and if so whether there are any problems. Many thanks for any info or feedback 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dima Posted November 21, 2000 Share Posted November 21, 2000 Just a tip: If you are using nVidia card and installed DirectX, DO NOT install latest Detonators 7.17: they are a lot slower despite being more DX8-friendly. 6.47 are the best even with DirectX 8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Madmatt Posted November 22, 2000 Share Posted November 22, 2000 You also absolutely, positively want to avoid, at all costs, the 7.17 drivers once you get the new TCP/IP patch! You will get annoying flickering and the game will lock up repeatedly. We have notified Nvidia and problem seems to stem from changes they made in calls to the Blit and FastBlit in Direct3D. I believe Asherons Call also experiences the instability and flickering with those drivers. We recommend that for the time being you stick with the official 6.31 Detonator 3 drivers or if you have to have beta drivers (and you know who you are) then go no higher than the 6.47 ones.

dima Posted November 23, 2000 Share Posted November 23, 2000 Actually with my GeForce 2, Windows 2000, and 6.47 drivers I have a prob: If I launch a game, and then even before going to the actual battle, ALT+TAB to the desktop and then back into the game, launch a battle - it will crash with "Unhandeled Exception". So only 6.31 work for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
