Im using Windows Vista with Stardock Windowblinds 5.5 and Im tempted to upgrade to version 6 but my question is why? What will it do for me that 5 cant do and is it faster in any way?
Err mate Im running DDR 400 - its pretty old school but Memtest and Windows memory diagnostics say its A.Ok and like I say it only occurs in Sins. Ironclad did mention a bit when they released the patch that there was some more safeguards in order to prevent null buffers or something but it was unable to be fixed due to the fact it looks like an nvidia driver bug. Ive filed a bug report with nvidia just waiting to test the latest drivers and latest sins patch out <img src="http
Aye sorry Im on holiday and havent played SINS much - Ever since moving to a 19" LCD from 32" LCD widescreen, My crashes have been less frequent but still there. Disabling the TDR will hardlock your system when SINs crashes but it will allow you to play with no graphics restarts during the game although it will crash eventually. I will submit a dxdiag and crash report when I get back from holiday, to the Ironclad guys - what version of the drivers are you using?
Seems to have been fixed by moving to a 19" LCD Monitor as opposed to using my 32" LCD which was using a 1320 x 768 resolution. Now playing fine in 1280 x 1024... bit of a downgrade of screen but as long as everything works.
I tried disabling the Graphics driver monitoring engine within Vista - it allowed me to play SINs for a hell of alot longer than normal but eventually I got to a 40 ship vs 35 my fleet battle with 10 bombers and 8 turrets and my system hard locked. Bloody Nvidia - Im tempted to buy ATI now :/
No I uninstalled Beta 1 then Installed Beta 2.. Its deffo a graphics problem as opposed to installation since it was happening in Beta 1 as stated in my previous posts.
Yeah, I sent the minidump from Beta 1... Havent sent the Beta 2 yet as I havent really had time... I must say though im likihg the game and may just install XP in order to test it. All my temp reads are fine and theres no oc/ing (The card is stock o/ced from the factory though) But again all other games work fine and this is the only one to exhibit such problems >_<
