Thought this thread might be of some interest to people here who prefer not to brave the BS BBS:

New nVidia driver.

I've been having problems with my GeForce 7800, so I'm hoping this turns out to be a permanent fix.  Should I try the beta driver or wait for the final release?  I'm still smarting from the slap of the Pets patches, so I'm a bit unsure whether or not to trust Eaxis on this yet.  Although, it is nVidia not Eaxis that is handling the problem.  Any thoughts or advice?

KatEnigma:
If you're having problems, what's the harm? It's not like you can't just reinstall your current drivers if it doesn't work. 

SnootCB:
Well, it seems to be working so far.  :D

I played for 3 hours last night.  Normally the computer won't make it past 45-50 minutes with shaders on.  And I can see fish now!  Woo!  Hopefully this is a permanent fix.

SnootCB:
Well, the game works great but my Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo XI won't open.  >:(  It freezes while loading and makes that "doink" sound like there's an error happening somewhere, but when I open Windows Task Manager it still says "running", and it will sit frozen like that for at least 30 min (I lost patience at that point and closed it).  I have added nothing to my computer except the nVidia beta driver since the last time I opened Paint Shop Pro.  Should I contact nVidia or Corel about this, or wait it out and hope for the best?  I love that my game doesn't crash, but if itsn't one thing it's another I guess.  Any ideas?

Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to double-post.

I downloaded the beta drivers today, but haven't had a chance to play the game and test them out. I'll poke around and see if any of my other programs give me a problem.

In my experience, nvidia beta drivers are usually pretty safe to use. I used to use them all the time when playing EQ.
