DHzer0point 0.8195 Released

Yes the DHzer0point 0.8195 Release is here, we sent this set through extensive testing due to Nvidia's changing code base and a need to rewrite our tweaks for best performance, IQ and stability after all our beta testing though I'm glad to release the set to the public. Big thanks to SFOSOK and Scooper for their help with the 7xxx series and SLI, as well as all the rest of the beta testers for the hard work.

DHzer0point 0.8195 Released!

What's new?
Dual core/Hyperthreading optimizations from Nvidia
Rewritten tweak base, Improving high end pixel shading performance
UT2004 and older early DX9/8 improvements
Compatibility tweaks still included
Fixed Resolutions bug
All SLI options, rendering AA/AF, Overclocking options should be available
Full Mobility support
Hardcoded PCI Latency to BIOS defaults
VMR option available and enabled by default

What's wrong?
Possible problem with TV out on 6600GS if anyone can confirm or deny this we'd appreciate it

What's to do?
Take over the world!

Grab your's HERE and thanks again from the DHzer0point Team! "Anything less is just a driver"

For those lackng the "Refresh Rate Override" Tab, you may download THIS (right click, save as, and run it to add to the registry)

For those who wanted more options on the refresh rates and resolutions, I have thrown in the book, and have them ALL enabled in a new INF, but be sure and read the precautions before using, as found HERE as it's a fairly potent way to add it.

Hm. There seems to be a bit more stuttering than usual in Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Also got a blue screen shortly after. Dunno if the driver's to blame, since I've had this happen before, but it occured fairly quickly this time.

i have the new drivers but i still have the problem i had with the old ones.



"
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."





is there a way to fix this in this version or no?

we'll get the refresh over-ride thing fixed ASAP and let you know when it is, as for an english only release, if you don't mind my asking(not tryign to sound rude) but why? Is the download too big? Because if so I'd be more inclined to go with other methods of compression before i went with an english only release, personally


And drew....they don't want refresh rates and resolutions, that's there....refresh rate overrides tab is what's missing

i don't mind the filesize at all, it's just that i don't like translated drivers (or bios). i'm a native german, but most of the tech and computer stuff comes from english speaking countries, so i want my drivers to be in english as the translations are usually bull***t. furthermore, every button was originally designed for the english language with a quite short length of words compared to german (the short english "add" translates into the quite long german "hinzufügen" which gets shortened to "Hnz" in the german forceware).

btw, i compared the dhzp 81.95 with the official 81.95 (both with Image Setting 'High Quality')

3dmark05 default

official ~5000
dhzp ~4500

iq improvments visible, nicer lightning in game test 1


doom3 1.3 1280x1024 2xAA HQ + 3mood

official ~43
dhzp ~37

no iq improvements visible


fear 1.02 1024x768 2xAA 4xAF max detail

official 5%/45%/50%
dhzp 12%/44%/44%

iq improvements visible, wall textures look a bit sharper and more crisp


nfs most wanted 1.3 1024x768 4xAA, max detail, visual treatment low

the officials are ~ 2-4 fps faster but also a bit uglier compared to dhzp


for now i stay with the officials till the english zp will be released. it would be great if somebody with a lot of spare time would make a screenshot comparision between the officials, dhzp and ngo with lets say doom3, hl2, fear and nfs.

I apologize for the refresh rate override tab missing, I knew the custom resolutions and refresh rates were there however to override refresh rates download THIS file anywhere on your computer, (right click Save As) and then double click on the file, this will add the override option to the drivers and we'll get an updated set up tonight or tommorrow which includes it out of the box. I do apologize for that but this will allow you to fix it without having to do any reinstalling or rebooting.

I had this problem with America's army, I think its mainly a support issue because this set fixed it. You can try adjusting you AA options (like Gamma and Transparent).

The other is that the driver no longer detects my TV as a display.

I've disabled Windows Script Host and there's vbs file in the startup to run. Any way to make that color tweaking w/o scripting or some other way to replace it so I wouldn't have to enable WSH.

New user to dhzp drivers.

We looked into it, and the color settings kept resetting themselves no matter how we tried, and it's a .vbs so that it's silent and doesn't bother you with the "pop-up permission form" you get when you apply a .reg file.

I'll take another look at it and see if I can't find a more elegant approach next set though

That script is just for color settings though, if you remove it and turn your host back on the drivers will still work fine

The invalid display driver settings I've gotten after updating DCPro to the newest version, I've PM's spike about it as well and will direct him to this thread, I am unsure if it's our drivers or a too thourough driver cleaning at this point however as I get it with our drivers and stock drivers, nvidia and ATI.

*NOTE* custom refresh rates are possible too If for some wierd reason you want a refresh rate of 77, I can do that too, so mgiht as well go wild requesting this stuff

Code:
Example Request
800x600 @ 100Hz
1024x768 @ 100Hz
3000x2048 @ 24 Hz

i just installed these drivers and i can't seem to find the refreshrate overrides on this set of drivers, is there something wrong? I'm using a 4200ti.
-edit-

I just received this icon on startup after I alt-tab and it restarted for some reason?

your windows doesn't liek the color .vbs file, so just remove it (C;\windows\system32\dhzpcolor.vbs)

and for the refreshrate override, we missed that, a .reg file to add it is HERE, so right click, save, and run it, and then it'll show up
