#49947 Posted on: 12/09/2003 09:58 PM Ever since the *new* 5x series. I can't get them to work with MSI Geforce 3 Ti300 card and Return to Castlewolfenstein. Every other game works, but in RTCW, it just locks up as soon as I get into a multiplayer game. I remember someone else commenting about this... Is there a work around for this? Nvidia, please fix it! I think someone said that it had to do something with the PUNKBUSTER software of RTCW....Help!

#49948 Posted on: 12/09/2003 10:02 PM yups, u can't use the 50.xx drives with games like that. i have both RTCW and SOF2 and they're both Punkbuster type of games and both lock up when u join a multiplayer server, and yes it has sumthin to do with FOG and the 50.xx drivers which NVIDIA really needs to work on. but other then that, all my other games work with an increase fps of 20-30 so yea if there is a workaround this prob let us know

#49949 Posted on: 12/09/2003 10:18 PM Can we send this info to either Nvidia OR RTCW Crew? I know a patch from either company would work...

#49952 Posted on: 12/09/2003 10:51 PM it has nothing to do with fog. perhaps even nothing to do with the nvidia drivers as such. with punkbuster off you dont get any lockups (butt you can cound punkbuster disabled servers on one hand, and i'd rather play with PB anyway) with punkbuster enabled, setting the exe of your game to win98 compatability mode lets you play for a while too, sometimes even hours, but it will still lockup your PC randomly.

#49958 Posted on: 12/10/2003 12:00 AM And I love it when the same old ATI flamer trolls turn up at every nVidia event and try to tell us something new, but just repeat the same old cheater lines, like we didn't get that after the first 100 times. There not perfect but let us make up our own minds, eh? Your like a bunch of whining vegetarian protesters outside a butchers shop!

#49959 Posted on: 12/10/2003 12:05 AM On a slightly more practical note, does anyone else get flickering or disappearing textures on these with an nforce 3 chipset? These drivers claim to improve performance on these chipsets so I'm begining to wonder if the fubared it.

#49960 Posted on: 12/10/2003 12:08 AM Maybe NVidia shouldn't of bought 3DFX way back when. Maybe 3DFX's bad carma is trying to rear it's head again. Lately, seems like ATI keeps chipping away at NVidia's footing. Time will tell I guess.

#49965 Posted on: 12/10/2003 01:08 AM Every time a new nVidia driver comes out the A**holes come out. I'm neither pro ATI or nVidia but tell you what, I've experienced more buggy ATI drivers than nVidia. I don't give a sh*t about whether a driver is optimised for this or that benchmark, I want a stable fast driver for gaming in the real world.

#49966 Posted on: 12/10/2003 01:43 AM fast? look elsewhere then stable? it seems like nvidia have had problems in that department too as of late.

#49967 Posted on: 12/10/2003 02:34 AM Oh man, they just never change their tune! "We're tired of the same ATi a&&holes coming out and bad mouthing nVidia's new drivers before they even have a chance to see if they've changed their ways!" :mad: :stomplittlefoot: :lol:! These are the same as the 53.03 beta set that's been out for a while and has already been proven to just bypass the 3.45 3dm2k3 patch to prevent cheating. Sorry if y'all are tired of hearing me call nVidia a bunch of lying, cheating, whoring mongrels with the ethics of an alley cat in heat; but they just don't change their ways and keep pushing the envelope harder! :lol: A week from today will be interesting, that's how long they have to fix/change/explain their cheataround "fix" for 3dm2k3 before Futuremark takes actions....I'm kind of curious to see what FM will do. (I already know nVidia has no intention of changing their ways. )

#49969 Posted on: 12/10/2003 03:11 AM Well what do you expect? You get these die hard individuals who only care to wreak havoc on others. Just ignore them. Most of them sit in front of their computers 24x7 because their real life is worse. So be glad you are happy with what you have. I usually chalk up the morons who always complain to people with serious social disabilities.

#49970 Posted on: 12/10/2003 03:16 AM What do you know another ATi terrorist. So what if the drivers cheat in 3DMark03. I don't understand why anyone would care about your remarks as it's always the same story over and over and over. nVidia is cheating, blah, blah, blah... How do you breathe when you have so much shit crammed up it from ATi?

#49971 Posted on: 12/10/2003 04:05 AM Man, remember when they used to actually make points rather than just call people names? Ah, I guess it's just the effects of the brain-drain.

#49978 Posted on: 12/10/2003 06:00 AM Poor poor DW. He makes comments about those against him as not changing their tune... that song he's singing sounds familiar as well, does it not? Ever notice how he is the first or second to post to such news? I can just see him humped over in his chair, wide eyed, waiting for the delivery of such an opportunity to let the diarrhea flow from his open mouth... Funny thing is, there is nothing he can say to prove those against him are wrong.
