Thanks. I will try em.

I just updated my drivers to NVidia's 71.89 drivers, but now after loading a mission I get a complete system reboot before being able to enter the cockpit!! :(

Ok guys, I agree I have been somewhat unclear with my reply; by pulling some extra FPS I meant hardware wise (Asus is known to be able to pull some extra FPS in relation to other brands with the same card). I assumed that drivers might have to do something with this, so logically it would be a sound thought to use the Asus drivers with an Asus card to get the maximum performance possible. If what you state is indeed true and Asus (or any other brand for that matter) only need the right to put on their logo in the driver set (which provides a delay in release in relation to the reference drivers by NVidia) but those drivers are the exact same NVidia has built, its only logical to use the reference drivers instead to have the most updated versions available (non-beta that is). The only thing I did find very hard to believe is the statement by Biolog. Why would Asus drivers be 'not very good'. Besides if they are the same as the NVidia set, they are only a little older, that's all. I'd like to see on what grounds Biolog claims Asus drivers are 'not very good'. No offense meant, just curious. :icon_pidu

Drivers from asus not very good?! On what basis do you state this? I've been using Asus drivers for my Asus vidcards for years now and always found them flawless and great performance. In general one is advised to use the drivers provided by the brand of your hardware instead of common reference drivers released by the chipset manufacturer. The 'brand drivers' sometimes incorporate little tricks only applicable to that specific card and Asus is renowned for pulling some extra FPS from their vidcard where others can't. Anyway, Lockon is the only game giving me these strange anomalies in combination with these drivers... :(

For screenshots see this post: http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=7417 I had anomalies with a Geforce 4 Ti4200, which were solved by using an older driver set, but my new 6600GT cannot use the 5x.xx driver sets, so I have to stick with the 7x.xx drivers. Does anyone know a driver set which works with Lockon 1.1. FYI Lockon is the only game giving me anomalies on the 71.41 drivers. Many thanks.

Ok, I've upgraded my system and now my vicard is an Asus N6600GT which cannot use the 56.72 drivers, so I am back at the other ones again... they do give me the exact same artifacts as I got with the Ti4200! Does anyone know a working driver set for my new 6000GT card?

Nice one. Did you try these with LoMan?

Guys, it's best to keep ONE problem in ONE thread instead of making a thread each time you think you don't get enough replies!

Nero, Roxio Easy CD Creator, and Norton Ghost are definately not the reason why you keep getting the error 3 message. System Works I don't know, but I find it hard to believe that anything other than download managers will corrupt your pack. If you get the error 3 message also when downloading via internet explorer I can think of one other thing that might be causing corrupt files (especially with large downloads); a bad line, but only in case you are using a telephone line modem (56k6 or such). If you are using cable or adsl however, I have no idea what's causing the error 3 if the other issues are not applicable to your situation... Sorry man.

Whoa! I reverted back to my old trusted Asus 56.72 drivers (based on nvidia's 56.72 ref drivers of course) and see what happened (see pics)!! I even get less stuttering, it seems, at low altitude! Correct heat blur graphics, no more weird landscape tiles and correct afterburner lighting!

I had similar problems years back (with strange texture all over airplanes) with Jane's USAF running on a Voodoo 2. It was due to overheating of the vidcard. Did you check your temperature? It could be a similar problem I am having at this moment though; driver bug perhaps (refering to pics above). I will try my old 5x.xx drivers tonight and post what gives...

a little *bump*

A little less !!!!!! and less capitals makes your post seem a little more nice. You'll likely get better support if you are being nice instead of demanding and shouting... As far as your error 3 goes; it's an error you get when your pack is corrupt. Are you using download mangagers to download the file? They tend to corrupt the package. Are you getting the same error also when downloading via internet explorer? If so, did you check your harddisk on errors?

I have tried the windowed mode, but those same anomalies show up. I haven't tasked switched, but I did see anomalies of another kind (complete missing parts of the SU-25T for example) when I did before. These anomalies, however, seem to be driver related then? (I haven''t tried a roll back yet)

First my system specs: P4 2.4Ghz, 512MB DDR, Geforce 4 Ti4200 128MB with 71.81 drivers, DirectX 9.0c, Windows XP Pro SP2, 16GB free on HDD after install. I have graphic anomalies in-game (see attached pictures). The heat blur is shown as a black blurry smokey kinda thing behind the airplane, the lighting of the afterburners don't show correctly and some patches in the terrain have weird colors. Lomac 1.0 and 1.02 did not have these problems on my exact same system (except driver version was lower of my vidcard). Is this a confirmed driver issue or has there gone something wrong with my install? Many thanks!

Re-download the file. Your package has become corrupted during download. I tried downloading the files using Leechget (a download manager), but it corrupted my packs the first time. If you download without using a download manager (yes you will get somewhat slower downloads) it will download fine. Mirror 2 gave me 200kb/sec on average (i am located in the netherlands). Mirror 1 gave me <100kb/sec I hope this helps others.:rolleyes:
