nVidia beta Det4 12.90 drivers get rid of flashing GPL menu screens with GF3

I just updated to the latest leaked beta drivers from nVidia (12.90 from www.m3dzone.com) and it appears that the flashing GPL menu screens (after exiting the car) have gone away. I'm using the beta DirectX 8.1 with Win98SE and a Visiontek GF3. Brian

i have gf3 card also brian but no matter what version drivers i use ive never had flashing menu screens.thats one i had not heard of. does the 12.90 ver get rid of the corrupted smearing of menus that is caused when using fsaa. i love using 4x fsaa @1280x1024 online thru vroc but hate the smearing of the menus.

hi, another question, does it work with mercedes benz truck racing? would luv to play this on win98. currently only works in win2k on my system. geforce2mx + duron 800. thanx in advance if you can help. Regards all, istoff

then there is something wrong with your win 98 system, If you have an Nvidia card, try different driver, MBTR is very driver sensitive, some Beta drivers give you nothing but large coloured fields. MyMBTR has been working fine since about the 6.50 drivers. Sudesh "istoff" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I know what you mean - my GF3 would lock up in my Dell (and I tried everything I read) all the time. I finally gave up and installed it in a second PC (ASUS motherboard) amd it's been fine since (exact same drivers and configuration.

Thom, i've tried them and it looks like the 12.90 drivers do fix the flashing menu problem, but I found them a little slower than 6.50. I guess it depends on how irritating you find the flashing menus :) FYI Monza, race-start, 19 opponents, in-car view, back of grid, all graphic options on, detail slider bar on full, 1280*1024, no fsaa, p3-650 sat in pits / before the flag drops / lowest score recorded during race start 6.50 drivers = 27.0 28.7 ~22 12.90 drivers = 28.3 26.5 ~20 For some reason the 12.90 are faster when I'm sat in the pit lane, but slower during the race start. Tis bizarre :) "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:UVuY6.30782$[email hidden]... > Hmmm?

I found applying the beta MTBR patch helped the game to be less sensetive to driver versions. Had tried many drivers and got problems, then applied the patch with the same drivers and it worked. Cheers, Rod.

I didn't think you could use fsaa thru vroc. I have tried it on my GF2 GTS and it spits me back to vroc every time. Turn fsaa off and i can connect to a race no problem. "Mac" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

hi all, thanks for the feedback. will re-install, re-apply the patch & see. i know it works with the 6.5 drivers, but i kinda like the newer ones. why, i don't know. the bigger version numbers make my feel like tim allen. more *power*, grunt, grunt... :) Regards all, istoff

Tell windows to update the driver. When it asks to search you just do a HAVE DISK and point to the old drivers. Done. "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:q_yY6.31033$[email hidden]...

All I do is - Control Panel -> Add / remove programs -> NVIDIA display drivers -> Remove Then windows reboots and you point it to the drivers you want (which you've already conveniently unzipped). I don't know whether it's necessary to un-install the old drivers like this, but I always do it anyway. "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:L0MY6.31443$[email hidden]...
