Mike13 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I use win98. Video card is Nvidia GF4 MX 420 64mb. Driver is 4.13.01.2832. CMBB runs fine it always has. My problem is another piece of software I have that is not running. I have been told to update the drivers. My question is which version? From what I have read here some are much better than others and do not wish to screw up CMBB. Your insights will be most appreciated. Thankyou 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I have W98SE with a Geforce 4 Ti4400 I use now the 44.03 drivers without problems ( 1 known issue is i can only use antialiasing 0 or antialiasing 4x, with 2x i cant start CM ) Text problems are often solved by escaping (or alt tab) to the desktop and returning to the game again. Try those first, if you get problems with CM, i would recomment the 30.82 drivers. Monty 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TufenHuden Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I don't now what I did,but I upgraded to nvidia to 45.23's,know when I do this the problem seems to have that you boot the game,you hear the cmbo /cmbb music but a black screen,then you hit alt+ tab and back that fix's it but you don't have to do that,1st you right click to properties/advanced /GEFORCE4-TI-4400/performance&quality/image settings to-performance-AA to 4x-AF-2x-texture sharping checked-then go to open gl settings to default color depth-set to-always use-16-bpp- then to buffer flipping mode to-use block transfer ,then to vertical sync to-default,apply and click ok,that might do the trick,my monitor adapter-refresh rate is a optimal,this is a p-111-1.2 gig tualitin cpu/asus-tua-266-mobo/1-gig of ecc-pc-2100-low parity-not-registerd ram/GF-4-4400-TI-Gainward-golden sample/win-98-se-monitor-m-991-dell/sony flat-trinitron/these settings might not work with other rigs but I also did this with the nvidias-44.03's and it worked,so I did have problems before,also not to forget in bios that (vidoe cache) or vc mode not the USWC-(uncacheable,speculative write combining)seems to mess things up or freeze cmbo/cmbb but other mobos can do it with the right mobo-dvrs/bois set up . This is for mine with Windows 98-se,but the 45.23's are working good/without the problems stated above,but you can try it with Win-XP ,that card is outdated,but not bad for CM,but try these settings above might boost performance and still get everything that works right,hope this helps out...... .........

Madmatt Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Try and install the 30.82 or 30.87 drivers FIRST before you mess with any of the 40.xx or higher drivers. Those are the last two version that still function 100% with no issues AT ALL. Once you get into the 40 and 50 series drivers you will encounter issues with the Anti-Aliasing, that can all be worked around, but which can be a little annoying. Get those drivers at www.guru3d.com Madmatt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
