Nvidia Issues

~S~ All,

This thread documents a bug that causes "flashing blue textures" when using nVidia 8800 series cards. The community has been attempting to troubleshoot this issue, with many different nVidia drivers, control panel settings, and IL2 setup changes, all to no avail.

I have also checked it with the new 4.09 beta .dll files, and I see no noticeable change.

Any help the 1c or user community can provide with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

If you think that is bad, don't use the 'new' Beta drivers. It will turn the world completly black, except for objects. Very funny...

Well just be glad your not using an ATI card. The water just went pitch black and flat.

Recommend you start an "ATI Issues" thread and post operating system, ATI settings, etc. I'm sure the developers would like feedback on this beta release, and here and now is the best place/time to provide it.

Although I dont fly outside of the cockpit, I do notice these flashes on the nose and wings of the plane from the cockpit and in the rear view mirror.
This seems to be on all drivers I have tried, the card is an 8800 ultra.
Flashes only present in any perfect mode, excellent seems fine.
This was present on all previous verions and now on the beta, lets hope theres a fix possible :)

Many thx for posting this video! Many have also posted on the nVidia site, with no response/solutions offered..."squeaky wheel gets the grease" guys. If you also suffer from this issue, let CrazyIvan knw in the .dll thread here:http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=2472

I run a XFX 7600GT (the factory overclock) and I use the NGO optimized drivers (1.16369). I have an AMD64 3000 and 2 gigs of ram...My operating system is XP Home, and (finally)...the only flashing that I notice is the reflection of mountains in the water (from a distance)...

I used to get a (weird) shimmering in the reflections of the sun in the ocean, but that disappeared a few "NGO" drivers ago...actually the water (ocean/sea) has never looked better on my system (OpenGL, perfect, water-3)

The MOST annoying problem I was having with the water (for a loooong time) was the elusive black circle that was hiding beneath my fighter...I could always see it at the edge of my "POV" peripheral vision, but whenever I tried to get a good look at it, it disappeared (poof!). But like the shimmering "NGO" sorted it out...(actually the circle was what introduced me to the "NGO optimsed" drivers...before them I had the problem)

Now my only problem is the disappearing reflection of the mountain... :)

My box:
Q6600; Asus P4k-C;
2GB corsair dominator @1066Mhz;
segate baracuda 32MB cache 750GB hd
Western Digital 32Mb cach 500gb hd
Audigy2 ZX
EvGA 8800GTS 512MB (g92)
XFX 8800GT 512MB
Samsung 226BW LCD panel.

running at 1680x1050x32; 8Q aa; 16 aniso filters, water=4, maxed out in all game setings.

The only issues i found are the anoying texture flickering, exactly like in the screens and vid above.
I ran the game with latest official nvidia drivers plus beta ( 28 ) drivers on both cards. Same flickering with both 8800GT and 8800GTS 512 cards.

NGO have some really good driver-tweaks for gamers.

Did you install the drivers in performance or compatibility mode?

[Feuerfalke]

Just tested the NGO 1.16369 with compatibility-installation.

The texture-flickering is slightly reduced, but it is definitely still there. :(
