Probs with new video card.. :(

capt vertigo · #1 04-30-2011, 01:32 AM

Tried cache.. no good

Config ini listed Render=R3D9

So I changed to =R3d10_0

And game doesn't load..

Thanx Mazex, this might be the prob, but 'm not sure what to try next..

Uninstall/reinstall the game..?

Does everything else run ok (other games I mean?)

capt vertigo · #3 04-30-2011, 01:47 AM

Yeah, IL2 1946 runs like a dream..

Portal runs great..

Rest of the game, ie: menus, music, etc runs fine..

But in an actually mission it flashes crazy colors.. especially water and highlights in cockpit..

Really weird...

Did you remove the old drivers and install new ones?

That's the same video card I have and it runs great. If emptying the cache didn't work I would try re-installing. Also make sure you have up-to-date drivers (270.61)

"So I changed to =R3d10_0"

I assume this was just a typo in this thread. If not it should be Render=D3D10_0. I am also using the NV 270 version drivers as mentioned above, with no major probs. Also the 267 drivers had better shadows for me.

mannn, I have a flickering mess on my hands..

maybe I screwed sumthin up..

All I did was follow instructions in the box...
It said remove old card from pci slot, replace with new card, install drivers..

I didn't uninstall the drivers from my 8800gt first tho, is that a problem u think..?

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.
