ST Crashes Nvidia driver just past entrance (only)

[Cozumel]

<p>nVidia Quadro FX-580 using latest WHQL drivers 305.93 (Aug 28, 2012), Win-7 64-bit Quad-Core.</p><p>Only zone in the game that does this, went walking past the main entrance to ST (the new zone in EW), just past the first 3 golems, my screen flashes, poop/garbage goes across screeen, unable to move, and eventually task-manage kill... Relogin, if I move, same deal, have to COV, or COH to someone or call to guild... Once past (up the steps in first room), graphics are fine.</p><p>Went into windowed mode, and I can see a message (nVidia kernel driver has crashes, and "recovered"...over and over).</p><p>There's no diagnostic log to give...but it's consistent.  The machine is an HP Z400 Xeon.</p><p>I also tried on "extreme performance" (reducing additional rendering, etc..)  No difference.</p>

<p>I doubt that workstation video cards are supported in the game even if they do work.  They are tuned differently through software.  That would make me wonder if possibly the new zones are doing DX calls that may not be supported properly by the Quadro drivers.</p>

<p>This has been happening in game for a long while now (at least a year).  It happens in the Qeynos guild hall outside in the courtyard area also.  It happens in a few other zones also but is not common.  It seems contained to nvida cards and the zone art will crash the graphic's driver which for me at least recovers after 30 secs or so.</p><p>I have no issues with other games, this only occures in eq2 and has been present in most itterations of the nvida drivers (i say most as i've not used all drivers over the last year) </p>

It may be on our side, but want to make sure we clear out the possibilities that it can cause it from the client side.</p>
