Attention Nvidia Users!!!

[Darkrisen]

<p>A new driver has been released as of the 5th. Driver 191.07. I have only been able to test it out for a short while ( about 2 to 3 hours ) but it seems to have helped with the crashing for me so far. I am not about to say its a cure but it cannot hurt to give it a shot. Just be sure to remove all of the nvidia software and drivers, and run a registry cleaner afterwards BEFORE installing the new drivers.</p><p>I really hope this helps out at least a few people having problems untill the devs get a handle on what happened to the client. I know for me at least the game has been crashing almost every other time i zone which makes it hard to keep groups interested in keeping a necro lol.</p><p>Forgot to mention I am running windows 7 64 bit RC</p>

<p>did it also help to show the npc feathers again? or didn't you had that problem?</p>

<p>Did not have that problem.</p>

<p>The new drivers seem to work a lot better than the previous 190.xx series.  If you are currently running one of the 190 versions then I would recommend updating at this point.  That said, the memory crash you're referring to is supposed to see a hotfix tomorrow morning.  If that's the issue you're experiencing then it might be worth waiting to see how the patch effects it.</p>

These drivers did not affect the quest feather issue; although, I haven't crashed with these yet with DirectX Out of Memory or Lost Renderer errors but I've only played 1 session thus far.

<p>I downloaded the new video drivers then I removed all of the nvidia software and drivers ran a registry cleaner afterwards BEFORE installing the new drivers. When I tried to log in the first time I receive the "EQ2 Client Application" error. I rebooted and was able to log in one character but when I try to log in a second character (on a different account) at the same time I get the "EQ2 Client Application" on the first character and it closes but I can log in the second character.</p><p>I was not having that problem before I downloaded and installed the new video drivers.</p><p>I use Windows XP, Intel Core2 Duo CPU E7200 @ 2.53GH and NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT video card. I have 4gig of memory but since I am using Windows XP it only recognizes 3gig.</p>

<p>This new driver also seemed to help with the shadows issue. After updating the driver, i was able to go back to my old settings.</p>
