PunBuster Updates for nVidia Lockups Released


Recommended Posts

Evenbalance has released new Punkbuster Client Updates for Quake III Arena, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Soldier of Fortune II to help fix lockups that were happening with nVidia Forceware v5x.xx Series Drivers.

Punkbuster Client 1.069 Fixes These Problems.

Release Notes for PB Client v1.069:

Contains a temporary workaround for the lockup conflict with nVidia v5x.xx forceware drivers until nVidia corrects their backwards compatibility issues - the workaround may or may not solve the lockup problem for individual users depending on hardware combinations

Only people that are smart would realize that NVIDIA has too many Driver and performance issues (performance is reat, but actualy quality is bad)

i concur, buy an ATI, not nvidia......

wait a second... this is a post on a software update to help nvidia owners, not a thread comparing ATI and nvidia....

At last....

This issue existed only in the new Forceware generation of drivers, which NVIDIA is planning to patch with the next official driver release (ETA......not sure actually)

Punkbuster is excellent....it's been described to me that since punkbuster was implemented into BF1942 with the last patch, that suddenly a lot of the high scoring players are no longer on the servers anymore....and most of those who are still around suddenly are some of the lowest scorers :D

I'm not sure if in the new voting system if it will automatically initiate a vote for overamounts of team killing (ala Enemy Territory) or Spawn Camping.....if this did happen then suddenly the Desert Combat community would be greatly descreased in number....

I concur with his....enthusiasm. Many of us NVIDIA users have been waiting for this... I haven't been able to play Enemy Territory for a while now.

Though this is not an ATIvsNVIDIA thread, I do have to say that this is the only software conflict I have ever seen in my experience of NVIDIA drivers. ;)

yeah dude, what chode said. i could not use the latest drivers and the ONLY reason was cuz PB would lock my machine up if i tried to play sof2. the 53 series has way better perf so i heard. so... after about 6 months of waiting... i can finally play with the 53.03 drivers.

so dont talk to me that way again. :crazy:
