I'm noticing quite a bit of graphical corruption in 3D when playing GP4 or F12002. Does anyone else notice anything wierd going on with the track graphics or strange flashing bars in the sky whilst playing these games in 3D? Other games like Unreal 2003 play fine. Perhaps it's my set-up? I've re-installed XP and the problems have cleared up for a while but they come back. Setup is XP, 2.2+ AMD XP, Geforce 2Ti 64mb, eDimensional glasses on a ELSA IR transmitter. Drivers are 30.87. Any ideas anyone? | ||

I´ve got the same problem and have done all possible changes without any result. | ||

1) The nVidia driver is vulnerable to resource conflicts and some joysticks and racing wheels do cause major conflicts, which lead to screen-flashing. I have a MS Sidewinder FF gameport and it's really bad. 2)Games like Unreal have a complete, freely accessible 3D environment, while racing games usually only provide a 'tube' the player is in and which he can't leave. The rest of the environment is a mess. In racing games programmers often use 'dirty' tricks, like wrong handling of the horizon, wrong size and distance of objects, 2D elements, etc. O.K. the problems you mentioned for GP4 and F1 seems to have other causes. Does 30.87 have config files and instructions for these games? You should update to 4x.x anyway. The 43.x stereo driver may not be the final version, but I can't see any drawbacks compared to 30.87.

Thanks for your comments Christopher. I have recently bought a GF4Ti4800 and updated all the drivers as well. The problem has disapeared. Strangely enough after posting the notice above I noticed that the flickering went away under some resolutions. My only remaining grumble now is that the mirrors flicker in both GP4 and in f12002. This is wierd because they didn't use to do this with my old setup. Ah well...you can't have everything I suppose! |
