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.

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

The problem does occur with faulty or not fully accessable RAM. I tested it with 2x2GB RAM and didn't have any problem at all, then replaced them by identical RAMs and got the error all the time. I got a new pair, now it works like a charm, even with 8GB.


@ JG27CaptStubing & Thunderbolt56

It's fascinating how many people fall for the new marketing, that Win7 is just soooooo much better than the Vista it is 100% based upon.


Well, anyway, since you read the links posted so throuroughly, you must have noticed, that the "nvlddmkm"-Error was confirmed in Win7, too, and was already posted not to be fixed for the initial release, as it is not finally cleared out, who is responsible for the error.

Not for me...

I just ran MEMtest86 3.4, no errors. 1 pass took, almost 2 hrs.
