I know this is getting tired, but...... Q3.....

This is a discussion about I know this is getting tired, but...... Q3..... in the Windows Hardware category; I went out and bought Quake 3, it seems for nothing! I have tried all the tnt drivers available, and have tried the nvoglnt. dll swapping stuff. The only even slight success I get is from the straight 3.

I went out and bought Quake 3, it seems for nothing! I have tried all the tnt drivers available, and have tried the nvoglnt.dll swapping stuff. The only even slight success I get is from the straight 3.65 drivers. The game loads, then it jerks, every 5 seconds the screen refreshes. This is BEFORE the game even starts. Took me almost 20 mins to change settings the try and get into a game, which I'm sure you can imagine is unplayable!
The funny thing is, all the Q3 test's worked great, it seems only since I installed 2195.3 that I'm getting problems with this and other hardware

What proof do you have that they are all .1 aside from an opinion?

Make a batch file like quake3.exe +exec q3config.cfg and it will skip the id logo screen where my TNT2 also locks up...

Well, I formatted this SL*T and redid my entire partitioning structure while I was in the mood. First thing I did was install 3.65 drivers and then Quake3. I can now play!!!!!!!!!!
 
Still have no idea why it suddenly stops working, but it made me pissed off enough to send good old Diamond Multimedia and nVidia and nicely worded email to get their SH*T together and stop jerking us around!
 
I'm going to reinstall everythign I use one by one, reboot after reboot and find the evil seed.
 
Stay Tuned.......

know what, try just getting the 3.65 drivers. And remember the RTM time is so developers can get their drivers working better. Not for the user to use.
Thank god. I finally remebered the account info for this account
