Default Freezing Game with Vista

I have still lot of trouble when running IL-2 1946 4.08m or 4.09mB1 with Vista OS. After a randomly changing period of Time (10 mins up to 2 hours) the game freezes and the following message is displayed:

'Display Driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has recovered'

I googled for nvlddmkm and got more than 40.000 hits !!!!!

Okay, if you have the same problem with nvidia drivers you can read this

NVIDIA Statement on Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) Errors

to get more information.

But most important: Launch a bug report at the Nvidia Quality Assurance site using this form

Nvidia Windows Vista Graphics Driver Bug Report

Only if many users launch a bug report Nvidia will react and release a solution for IL-2 with future drivers. We should use the power of our community to get a solution.

Many thanks for your support

Hi,

This is not just an Nvidia thing ATI have their own version of the error.

Over at UbiZoo a few of us were going through the same kind of grief. Here is a link to the discussion

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...127#3141073127

There were a number of possible solutions. I did them all and have not had the problem since.


I still stand by the librarian solution. Cheers! and all the Best!

I also had the same problem. I have Vista64.

For me the solution was to lower my clocks in my 8800GT. I lowered core(-50MHz) and shader clocks(-100MHz). Good thing is that they dont affect at all to my performance in IL2. Only memory clocks seems to affect and I was able to overclock the memory 40MHz.

Also I installed this hotfix.

Vista64

Vista32

It could have helped too.

Thanks for reassuring me in my decision to leap-frog the entire Vista genre.

COME ON WINDOWS7! Should be here by September/October. I'll change OS's then.

I'm with you on this one... And I will be going 64bit because only NOW is it making sense.

Your not alone out there jumping past Me 2 XP32-SP3 is the best gaming platform out there now... SP1 sure made Vista better, but it's still not good enough. They had a lot of good thoughts locking things down and restricting direct access to hardware etc - too bad they did not get it to work. The Windows 7 beta is what they really wanted Vista to be. Let's hope they get all the pieces together for the release...

I've been running a dual boot with XP32 and Vista 64 Ultimate since the beta days. I think that I've been booting in XP 97% of the time...

Sorry,

I've got a Nvidia card, just know that when I was searching there were a few threads on the ATI problem. It would be interesting to see how you go with ffdshow.

Cheers.

I have had this problem with my X64 Vista Home Premium edition. My problem was solved when I used RivaTuner 2.2 to increase the FAN of the video card to 100 at all times.

I found out that the GPU would overheat during the game and hence issue the error that you see. Once I changed the FAN to run at 100 at all times this problem disappeared.
