Well I have not had any problems. Just finished playing Need For Speed 5, Soldier of Fortune and a half hour of quake3. More than enough time (3hours) for the system to go down. Only the 3.81,5.13 drivers have been stable in the past for me. I could care less about losing 1-2 fps moving to the 5.22 drivers. I need the FSAA for Final Fantasy 8! Looks a lot better with it to the max.
I've noticed alot of complaints about the new detonator drivers from people with TNT2 cards. On the other hand Ive seen only a couple of complaints with a geforce /intel combo and none from athlon geforce owners.
Being that these driver only really allow the use of D3D FSAA I wonder if the TNT2 owners should really be using them anyway?

My initial test is mixed. Quake III runs better than it has with any previous driver version. Unreal Tournament is worse than it has ever been. I'm using a Leadtek 32MB GeForce on a P3-667 with 256MB of RAM, SuperMicro SCD motherboard.
UT is literally crawling. The "menu" screen is even dragging. The text on the menu screen is unusually blurry. I hope I've missed some setting that will correct the problem, but if not, I'm going back to an earlier driver version.
