Tex -USMC- 0 Posted March 24, 2002 I saw a big improvement, most notably in smoothing out scrolling on the map screen, and generally overall increasing performance. Also, I may be imagining things... but everything looks a little prettier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

advocatexxx 0 Posted March 24, 2002 My nVidia Refresh Rate Fix for Windows 2000 doens't work with this new patch though. Damn it ! Â All my other video games are gonna run at a shitty 60Hz, even though my monitor goes up to 120. Â Good thing Flashpoint lets you choose the refresh rate. I'm surprised Windows operating systems don't let you select your own refresh rate. Â Why does it always go back to the default 60Hz ? Â I mean who can stand that ? Everyone I know gets headaches and feels dizzy after just a few minutes. Windows display settings should have a checkbox that will always use the highest supported refresh rate, even if the resolution is changed by another application (such as a game). This is a badly needed feature, has been for years. Instead they bother implementing useless Gamma correction, position, etc. Crap no one cares for. You can position your monitor directly from its controls, and every other program out there nowadays lets you customize the Gamma, so why don't they stop spending their time on this s*hit and give us what we need. Damn Microsoft. Damn them all to hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

advocatexxx 0 Posted March 24, 2002 Thanks dude, I'm getting terribly slow download rates though. Not sure if I can trust another language version either. Don't want my display settings to be in French. Besides this display thing is itchy. Once I did something and ended up formatting my drive. Not even safe mode would work. I'll wait till they come out with a refresh rate fix for the English version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
advocatexxx 0 Posted March 24, 2002 one more thing I forgot to mention. After installing these new drivers and rebooting, my OS detects and installs a new device called "Nvidia Dualview", and in my device manager it's listed under Display Adapters. So now, in addition to my GeForce 2 Ultra, i have another one listed Nvidia Dualview. And this one has an exclamation mark next to it saying "Device could not be started". When I go to my display properties it claims I'm currently running on Nvidia Dualview. Does anyone know how to fix this problem ? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deus Ex 0 Posted March 24, 2002 Yea I also have a nVidia GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 I installed the New Update and my graphics are HELL of alot better. Makes OFP look alot more realstic. Actually I stopped playing OFP, but when I installed The driver and tried it out on OFP, it gave me the inspiration to play alot more lol. So yes the new driver is definatly worth downloading and installing. System Specs: Pentium 1.5 Ghz nVidia GeForce2 MX 400 256 RDRAM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
