What NVidia drivers to use with Splinter Cel?

Melhisedek · March 14th, 2003

Well I'm getting this light problems in game. I see all the bright lights through walls and it is very annoying (sometimes covering 2/3 of my screen ).
I tried 42,68
43,00
43,30

and I must admit that I have different issues with all of theese drivers making the game (almost) unplayable.

This is not the time nor place to bash Nvidia or something but I really would like to hear your opinions on this one. What drivers are you using ?

I have 2,26 @ 2,92
GF4 Ti 4200 @ stock
512 DDR @ 344 MHz

As you can see plenty of everything to get this game up and running.

P.S. I really miss my Radeon 9700 Pro

I took it out to be able to make and install watercooling on it

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Disable FSAA. It's a known issue.

I tot the FSAA bug is only with ati cards?
Btw, AF can be enabled. I run mine in 16xAF .
If i'm lucky, i get to run it in 4xAA too, but that happens like 1 in 3 times

Melhisedek · March 14th, 2003

Well it looks like 43.00 I have now always enable AA

I just run 3d Mark and I saw a DIFFERENCE! Will try to reinstall them and if nothing works I'll just roll back to 41,09 ones ( hate going back in drivers

)

Its wierd, I've had this problem on my GeForce 3 too. AA is disabled, so is AF. This occurs on drivers 40.72-42.00, even those that are WQHL certified.

It's fine on my machine, and on my friends, both using the 43.00 divers (Me on a GF3 original and him on a GeForce 4 Ti 4200)
