Guest Wotching Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 So I downloaded the 180.43 drivers from this site in order to get Left 4 Dead working with my Quadro card, and it indeed fixed the problem. Now, however, Far Cry 2 doesn't work. It loads the splash screen, and then eternally starts switching resolution, minimizing, and maximizing, and gives me a hell of a time quitting it. Could someone point me in the direction of which driver to use that'll keep both of those games functional? I'm assuming I'd want to downgrade, since 180.43 is one of the latest ones, but I have no idea how far. Thanks a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 That beta driver has some bugs, I'd either use 177/178 series or one of the newer 180.xx drivers. (.44, .47, ect) 177.92 runs Far Cry 2 decently for me. I've been too busy with school to test all the 178 drivers but some of them are really good I hear.

Guest Guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Alright, I installed 180.44. It seems to have done the trick with both Far Cry and Left4Dead. I turned off Vertical Sync and Multicore optimization and Left4dead now runs very smoothly. Problem fixed until further notice; thanks a ton Bill.

Guest eggm0nster Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Alright, figured out the problem! No need to install any driver updates! Launch Steam->My Games->Left 4 Dead->Right-click->Properties->Set Launch Options... Type in -w 800 -h 600. Seems like problem is associated with the initial resolution that the game tries to use. Please note that I tested this on an IBM Thinkpad T61 with Nvidia Quadro 140 NVS so it may not work with all but definitely worth a try.

Bill Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Far Cry 2 runs nice on 180.70 for me, just so you know. (its supposed to be faster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nolimitsoldier78 Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Alright I have tried a combo of different things and finally got it to run. First - right click on the shortcut on your desktop at at the end of the target type "-w 800 -h 600" Second - right click on your desktop and click on nvidia control panel Third - under adjust image settings with preview choose the third option "Use my preference emphasizing: Quality" and make sure its all the way to the right. Double click and enjoy. Trust me I've been working on getting this game to work for about 4 weeks now... I'm ready to play this kick assed game!
