Hmm..I don't have either of those games....what card do you have?

The only thign i can perhaps think of is to replace the modes/resolution section with the stock one, which while removing all those custom "non-standard" resolutions, might help?

Yup, but this is likely 1.03 BF patch result, since in 1.00 it works just fine

Using the 76.44 anyway

Now I installed the 81.84, did not tried and 3D yet, however where is gone the advanced resolution toolbar from the options?!?
Huh?
How can I get it back???

Please help!

I can't believe it is gone, I use modded drivers so things aren't gone and now - they are gone?!? WTF?!

You kidding me?
Even back in this thread, this is the missing tab in options:



...so, I did not have this tab now, what I should do to get it back with - I hope - unlocked the delete button?


PS: I mean that the whole "Screen Resolutions & Refresh rates" options tab is MISSING...

So, any help/solution???

Besides that, games like Call of Duty, Quake 3 and SoF2 (basicaly all OpenGL games) are into 60Hz only, even I set 100Hz into the refresh rate override thing.

It does not work anymore or what?!

Damn, I should stayed with the old ones, or there is a way how to fix it?

Uhhh... that .inf was only for the 76.44 set, not the 81.84. Besides, there were no reported resolution problems on the 81.84.
Please refrain from using this inf with the 81.84 set as it was meant for the 76.44 set.

Do you have the same problem as trodas? Are you missing the screen resolutions tab? If not, then you should be able to add custom resolutions and then you can use those resolutions in-game. Some games only use the resolutions the drivers say to use, instead of automatically detecting your monitor's possible settings.
And also, I looked through the .inf and the resolution problem in the 0.7644 set is not in this one...

btw the 8184 set is as is, there will be no updated, 8184 set, we're currently working on a few sets and the resolutions problems are gone, so whenever the next set is released you can be guaranteed you're not going to have that problem. I wish we could continue to release updates to every driver set we release but with so many sets and doing this in my spare time I have to choose what's the best use of my time and frankly getting you guys a new set with fixes outweighs the benefits of updating a previously released set for a problem which doesn't severly impact the drivers.

No, I mean in GAME... When you click 1024 resolution, then click ok, it will automatically revert back to 800x600.. even you choose other setting... even the anti aliasing is preset... you cant change anythng in game...

Flight simulator 2004, and Freelancer.... it was fix in 76.44 with a different inf you sent us.. read the other forum... it said there is a bug in the laptop thinggy or other part in the inf...

Sad

For some people, like me, the non-working (hidden) custom res tab is a serious problem, since it in fact prevent me from runing few games

Neverless, 81.84 is bad release, after all.
Couple of another bugreports:

1) overlay is broken - at the bottom of typical YUV420 overlay is either green flicking bugs and into video, something like "fade to green" - it is NOT into the movied, they are fine in 76.44 ...
This is useless. Don't you guys check the drivers before release anymore?!

2) speed - 3DMark03 go from 12800 to 10900 3DMark, similar slow-down in F.E.A.R. and such - 76.44 was notably faster release. nVidia optimizing now only for 7800 cards and 6800 Ultra owners get lost of what?

3) custom resolutions tab is missing

4) refreshrate override refuse to work at all (at least for OpenGL apps, but DX ones was never a problem... so..)

Are you short of betatesters or what?

Mikano is on a distinguished road

i have a problem with rendering in a game i play. i cant seem to increase the draw distance to let me see what i used to be able to see. things just pop out.


for example:

im walking down a path. i see a rock where enemies like to go. i look at it, nothing. i start walking towards it then BAM he is suddenly there.

another example:

i had my friend stand out in the open as i walked backwards. as i was walking he just vanished.



basically, i love these drivers. i would like to know if there is a way to fix this on my end.

trodas your issues are fixed as well as the draw distance issue in our current beta build which you can expect a release of in the next week. Also try setting the negative LOD to CLAMP Mikano to fix that draw issue, however if you're talking about GW, it's broken by nvidia and not our fault, it's fixed in the 8195 set.

PoopyTheJ - thanks, good to know this

Necrosis - dunno? Maybe they did not like me? And Im strong W2k user as well, so... Not to mention AXP nForce2 + 6800GT clocked to over Ultra clocks... I don't know if I really could be any help... It is not up to me anyway. I think that if they feel that I could be help, they could give me a PM or something? Dunno.


And now I have serious problem with NFS Most Wanted. v1.3 and Car Reflection. Low or high don't matter as long, as update rate settings are other that ZERO. Then the game took sometime like a minute to draw certain frame. In short, the game is useless this way. Also world reflection cause it. Combination of both is overkill

Now - witch drivers fix it? DHZ 81.84 sure aren't good for this game So, witch ones are? Does the 76.44 witch I like much work better there?

Try the stock 81.84 and see if they are any better...it could be you need to look at one of the newer nvidia sets for the game, although I haven't had any issues with it on my 6800GT

Sad

pr0digal jenius - sorry for big delay, my machine died on me and this could be (the NFS MW problems) also related to it. (the caps powering AGP slot simply blown-out on me, for more info including pics of blown-out caps, see there: http://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthr...?t=1345&page=2 Okay, I dubt you care, but please disregard this bugreport)

Unfortunately I have far more serious one to do. As I hope to install the same zeropoints 81.84 on replacement (crap - see this: http://ax2.old-cans.com/s.php?p=badt...9&c=8&d=1&v=v2 ) machine with the same GFX card yet on WinXP SP1.0A, I ended up with very discomforting situation. 100Hz refresh is NOT possible to set. 85Hz (witch my eyes did not like) are possible, or 120Hz (witch the monitor can't handle, up to 117 only).
I using either my own driver for the monitor, or windows one.

And then the worsest part - the same stuff happens when I use 76.44 zeropoints. I notmally can't spot this, as I run on W2k and despise the XP crap, however now I has to report it, as it drive me back to the orginal nVidia drivers.
Sorry, can't withstand 85Hz, not for a few minutes, no way.

My monitor driver file:

Quote:
[version]
signature="$CHICAGO$"
Class=Monitor
Provider=%MS%

[Manufacturer]
%CUSTOM%=EIZO

[EIZO]
%F520% = EIZO_FlexScanF520, EIZO FlexScan F520

[EIZO_FlexScanF520]
DelReg=DEL_CURRENT_REG
AddReg=F520.AddReg, 1024, DPMS, ICM9

[F520.AddReg]
HKR,"MODES\1024,768",Mode1,,"30.0-96.0,50.0-160.0,+,+"
HKR,,ICMProfile,1,3

[DEL_CURRENT_REG]
HKR,MODES
HKR,,MaxResolution
HKR,,DPMS
HKR,,ICMProfile

[1024]
HKR,,MaxResolution,,"1024,768"

[DPMS]
HKR,,DPMS,,1

[ICM9]
HKR,,ICMProfile,1,9

[Strings]
MS="Microsoft"
CUSTOM="EIZO"

F520 = "EIZO FlexScan F520"
And interesting thing - even when I edited the Vsync range 30.0-96.0 and the refresh rate 50.0-160.0 to higher values, it did not change.
Not to mention it worked flawlessly on W2k.
I have absolutely no idea what caused it, but I hate this bug very much, because in the original nVidia drivers aren't anymore option to disable the VMR for overlay and with enabled VMR, the colors are washed-out and ughly, and even in movies I see the redraw of the screen, witch SUXXXX entierly and very badly
