world33 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Hello :P , I keep having issues with the nvlddmkm driver when playing World in Conflict. My system is: Dell Inspiron 1520 Windows Vista 32-bit 4GB RAB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 256MB RAM I installed the 163.44 driver from this site and followed all installation instruction. Sometime the game crashes even if my game video settings are set to a reasonable Medium level. Is there any better and more stable driver to choose specifically for World in Conflict and my video card? :) Thanks for your help and suggestions :) Fab Added later: Read this for the nvlddmkm.sys issue.

Guest Guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 try 163.69 VISTA 32bit | NVIDIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I had the same problem. I took the nvlddmkm file from the new driver's folder and put it in the windows/system32/drivers folder, which replaced the old nvlddmkm file already in there. Then I restarted the computer and that was it. Oh, and you may want to save the old nvlddmkm file in the windows/system32/drivers folder just in case.

world33 Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) Thank you very much guys, I installed the 163.69 VISTA 32bit driver by following the Quickstart guide and using the modded INF and it is working smoother and faster now. No crash up to this time. I will post again if i encounter any problem. I highly recommend it for this game and similar operating system+video hardware. :) Cheers, Fab Edited October 19, 2007 by world33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

world33 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) Talked too soon. Same problem. I tried both 163.69 and 163.75. It crashes also at low resolution. Does anybody know a solution for the driver and/or Vista? Edited October 19, 2007 by world33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world33 Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I finally found a solution and post it for the community. I installed the Vista 32 bit 158.45 driver and along with WIC patch 002 seems to work smoother. The reason I choosed that driver is because it allows to overclock the 8600M GT card using the ATI tool 0.27 beta2. Apparantely all 16X.XX drivers do not allow to overclock unless you go for bios overclocking. By using the ATI tool 0.27 beta2 (do not use the 0.26 version) I choosed to overclock with the following settings: CORE 615 and MEMORY 495 It is a pretty safe and it increases performance when playing World in Conflict. Some people have tried higher settings (see forum post link below) but I prefered not to increase the card temperature too much. Just a conservative approach. Further information on overclocking can be found at this overclocking guide and in this forum post. Hope it helps. Fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world33 Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Maybe I finally solved this issue. I installed the new beta Vista 32-bit driver 169.04. Hopefully they solved this annoying crashes. Fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 (edited) Hi please write to us whether it solved the problem or not. I have the same problem. I am trying the mentioned driver 169.04, and so far no errors. But often, it occurs just after you said "YES". So two persons testing is better than one. :) Edited November 7, 2007 by abcdefg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never had a crash since I installed it. It was about time they found a solution at NVIDIA. Fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Sounds great, I haven't had any problems so far either, but I don't really trust it. I'll keep testing for a looong time. Tell me if you get any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_compact Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Guys i have one question, Do we use the same modded inf file for all the versions of drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Well, I download the inf file in each new release post. So no, they are not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
