Nvidia Card

from Sins Forums

 

  • I have an NVIDIA card and my game or video driver keeps crashing!

This is a driver issue that NVIDIA is aware of and is working with us to resolve. We hope the fix will be included in the next driver revision.

When is the driver revisions usually? eta?

That's up to nvidia. Don't know how long it usually takes for them to be released.

Man, nvidia's been brutal with their drivers the last several months. That ATI 4870's looking sweeter all the time...

Just a quick defense of nvidia i have the latest 280 gtx and have no driver issues either with the beta drivers that came with it or the update drivers that came be down loaded from nvidia also ran 8800 gtx and again no issues with drivers,
and using vista 64 i hope you came find an updated driver for your card if you stated model may be some one could point you to a driver solution, hope you get it sorted so you can enjoy sins.

There used to be an issue with the "Display driver has recovered" error that was crashing Sins, but that was resolved in the latest driver release.

It's been fixed as of driver version 174, and I've updated the FAQ accordingly.

unfortunately, the 174+ drivers have disabled overclocking on laptops. This is a staple feature for me. I don't really want to compromise my gameplay experience in all my other games just so that Sins works.

Is there no other solution to this? I'm using 169.04 drivers.

Please advise.

The only other version of the driver that I have found to fix the crashing issues (pre-174.74 version driver) was with a roll back to this driver.
Driver Version: 7.15.0010.9746
You may have a hard time finding it (for some reason I could not find it in Nvidia's archives) so here is Nvidia's link:

I believe it will allow overclocking on a laptop but it is a huge roll back.
