Vista64 + NG8800GTX Graphics Problems

[Guest bobo1234]

Hi guys,

First time poster, long time reader.

I recently assembled my new system, a Core2 Duo 6600 with a 680i mobo and EVGA 8800GTX KO video card. Of course there were starforce problems but the new patch from www.star-force.com fixed that, no biggie (FYI the original SF activation will kill Vista 64 entirely, so patch right away). But now that the game is running great at 1680 x 1050 32-bit, I'm getting texture bugs with clouds, heat ripple, and some models. The clouds look like the individual sprites are not blending together, making them a bunch of blue-ringed balls floating around. The heat blur is gone altogether, and some models are missing dark textures, such as cockpit interiors and exhaust cones. Does anybody know a fix for this? I'm running the latest drivers, could it be that LOMAC is just too old? Please say no, I love this game.

Maybe the drivers are corruped? I think that your most likley one of the first guys to run Lock On with all of the latest tech advances..:D What drivers are you useing anyway.. You might try to uninstall the drivers use a driver cleaner and reinstall them again...

 

I'd say do a clean install of Lock On as well, but seeing how much trouble I 've been haveing myself it might not be a good idea...

Hi people,

I've the same specified computer and operating system like bobo1234. When I run the game medium setting. Screen look like that. I use Nvidia Vista 64bit 100.65 drivers with 1680*1050 resulotion.

 

By the way with high settings there is no problem like that and it works like charm.:pilotfly:

Why not have everything on high then? Your rig isn't the problem ;)

[stefostef]

First of all you should change your aspect ratio in your config folder, open your graphic ini and use those settings

 

 

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.66666676;

Interface

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.66666676;

}

Simulation

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.66666676;

 

 

 

Second you must use the beta forceware 101.41 for vista 64

yeap... already I run it with highest settings. Just I wanted to informa a bug :megalol:

I know these settings and already I use it. By the way why should I use old forceware drivers if there is a new one :P

TorwaK, I had the same problem, all I can say is A. Get an ATi card, or B. Go back to XP. Thats really the only options you have to fix that.

The new Vista driver 101.41 should solve this problem! ;)

No need it. I run it with high settings at 1680*1050 resulotion and there is no problem so I'm very happy with Vista 64bit edition :P

its a beta driver so I look for WHQL supported drivers.

Then you're missing out on having your textures reappear. ViperVJG73 is spot on. 101.41 does indeed correct these problems.
