New set of DLLs, from February 27th, 2008

Golf Pro · #1 03-26-2008, 11:52 PM

These DLL's don't look good for me. Lots of missing panels on planes:

Those driver update links on 3DGuru's appear completely dead. Do you have to be a member to d/load them?

Anyway, my spec:

Hi GolfPro,

I wonder if this is perhaps due to the limitation of your laptop processor. I run my game on a quadcore which allows me to use effects=2 without a glitch.

Upgrading to a powerful processor made the biggest change for me, more than upgrading my videocards (moved from 7900 SLI to 8800 GT SLI).

By the way, I use the standard Nvidia driver for my cards: 169.21. Before with my 7900 cards I tried those NGO drivers. They performed nicely but had some problems with stability (game crash).

My recommendation is to move to a more powerful processor if you want effects=2. Flight simulators need a lot of resources in terms of calculation power....

Cheers,

Eckhart

Hello Eckhart. I went back to Effects=1 to see if this graphics glitch disappeared, but unfortunately not.

Oh well.....

I hope that it helps you!

Beh. I'm getting white flashes now, instead of the old red ones.

Is it possible to just take the new maps and objects from 4.09b, and go back to the 4.08 dll's?

TX-EcoDragon · #6 04-01-2008, 12:52 AM

GolfPro, that looks like an issue with your video card drivers. I'd bet it would be resolved if you tried a newer/different version.

In my case, the recent dlls cause lots of distant shimmering and aliasing of rivers and coastlines. This has made it very difficult to see aircraft flying over these aliased lines. Even with 16X AA it's still there, and I usually just run 2x-4x and don't have that issue.

Golf Pro · #7 04-01-2008, 09:45 AM

Ecodragon - yes I suspect that's the issue. The trouble with having a laptop (at least a HP one) is that you can't download new drivers direct from NVidia. They have a licence agreement with HP that means that the drivers can "officially" only be downloaded from HP themselves - and they don't have any updates at present.

I'll probably go for the unofficial updates that KYA suggested. The thing is, my laptop is vital for my work at the moment (and probably for the next few months), so I'm not going to risk anything unofficial until that's complete.

S all,

Im using the new dll files, i have a amd 3.2Mhz, 1.5Gig mem, x1600pro ati. Here a few screens about my question:

What is the video drivers version that you use?

try this down load the latest divers 8.3 once you have installed them turn
off <catalyst AI> and run it in standard mode. you should have better graphics, although I run mine in x800/9600/9800; I don't mess with all those custom setting those seem to mess things up for me.
