You should of uninstalled the old drivers first and then plugged in the card and installed new drivers. With new drivers switching is not a prob but with older ones it could of messed something up.

That being said if you are getting lines/color flashes and freezes OUTSIDE of the game, its a Vram problem and you will to RMA it.

Take a look at this program:

It will remove any drivers you have on your system, then you can re-install new drivers, make sure you use the 270 series from Nvidia.

First all, we dont know what Os are you running

But here is the process to what to do :

- uninstall your nVidia graphics driver, it will command you Restart probably but dont do that, click Restart later and shut down your PC normally.

- Open your PC unplug your card and plug in again, sometimes is not correctly plugged.

- Start your PC and install the last graphics driver package, download the correct driver for your Os and card from here :

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

- Restart your PC even if the driver installation dont command you to do that.

Time to start the game :

- Disable Steam Cloud in steam configuration.

- Go to your ... \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover and remove the conf.ini to your desktop, to backup it, then go to cache/shaders and delete all files.

- Start the game, it will create a new conf.ini in the process, and new shader files in the first loaded map.

If the problem persist open the new conf.ini to be sure that is using DX10.

Ok. I think I see a problem.
Each time I start up machine the "new hardware found" window opens asking to load software for "Other pci Bridge Device"

Then in says unable to "Install This Hardware"

I have screwed up something.



Btw. I am on Windows XP

You cant use DX10 in XP, so the card is runing in DX9 only.

Dont panic, just do what I wrote step by step.

Followed directions

Uninstalled nvidia drivers via add/remove programs

It asked for restart, I hit cancel, then shut down.

Physically removed card from slot and replaced.

Started machine.

Hardware wizard pops up. Wants to install software for: PCI device

???

Should I just run the driver installer for the 270's I downloaded...?

Ignore the wizard, just close the window.

You should install the downloaded driver now.
