hmm, dunno if this helps but If say I have been flying a chopper with my saitek joystick and I get shot down..when I respawn if I have left my 'thrust' forward my ingame soldier just spins round and round. check it's not conflicting controls and if you have a joystick, check that too.

try driver 182.50 (I am also on 8800GT and find this driver hasn't returned any blue screens yet, and less crashes...only 2 crashes to desktop last night)

seems a fair price to me :) in the future you could always ebay the 9800GTX (which I think is more than capable anyway I'm only on 8800GT myself) and get a newer card to slot in there

what parts do you have currently?

I think Xeno's done a splendid job tbh, all I find myself enjoying is his missions. Admittedly I have not tried all that much. Even though I've had the game since UK release I haven't played as much as I would have liked because of the CTD's. Had one go of Evo - that's something to try later in the games life for me PvP had a few goes of, one server was alright but another looked a mess with bright green nametags all over the place.

9800GTX is more on a par with HD4850 than inbetween that and a 8800 http://www.guru3d.com/article/xfx-geforce-9800-gtx-black-edition-review-test/1 <-- review of the particular card he is being offered and it's no standard GTX

graphics card I'd say (and you will then need more than 450w psu too, I only run 2 gig of ram) my pre-historic specs are in my sig, I bet yours aren't far out

you have checked your controls to see if anything is reversed right? :D

main weapon to rucksack - reload ;)

well, I'd make sure it is a 9800GTX and not an 8800 as the 9800GTX is newer don't let him say "well I told you in email it was an 8 series!" (edit: surely if it has onboard 8 series he wouldn't be advertising the fact when the main gfx is a 9?)

why does it say 9800GTX and then 8 series video card?

the 1st pic same happened to me tonight when I 'underclocked' my GPU (trying everything) seems a few of us are having probs on 8 and 9 series cards. driver 182.50 seems most reliable. I get no BSOD's now and the game crashes less (seems to only crash to desktop when I am in aircraft now - which is still a worry) I've even been able to turn some settings back up on this driver :)

uninstall old driver first, reboot, deactivate antivirus then install new driver

ah, that's why I've never heard of em then :p

why? the AI can see us through hills? lol

you are lucky you are even running the game with a 7600gs, below minimum spec

gt120? oh never heard of that :)

Hope this helps someone as it's helped me. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=102530 those getting BSOD roll back to 182.50 I'm on 8800GT and it has stopped my BSOD and only had one CTD so far, just had a good couple of hours on [RIP] server :) (and that's with my CPU and GFX overclocked too)

same old crap I'm afraid. Rolled back to 182.50 much more stable

I've installed them and I don't seem to be crashing as much, mind you I have altered other things (like I noticed in cfg it had 3d rendering as 1280x800 when in ingame settings it had it as 11**x896 so I altered my cfg to match ingame settings) I have also left physX enabled on this new version, not noticed any difference tbh.

showing now, omg giving Aussies drivers before brits! scandalous! :D

M4A1 RCO M203 SMAW Satchel charge(s) laser designator no-pistol load up, put rifle to backpack and then load up again..... then CTD lol :(

most annoying is not being able to play the game (ran fine at first - just deteriorated and the CTD's got more often) If I were able to play the game the most annoying bugs would be the crappy loading of textures, usually happens when you respawn. Also the nightvision disco does my head in.

yes it's normal, multiplayer is unstable and is where the most CTD's happen

amd x2 3600+ 2.0ghz o/c to 2.35ghz socket 939 here lol
