GeForce 2 Ultra Question

[aztec]

I just downloaded and installed beta 19...at startup got the message, your video drivers don't support zbuffering, update your drivers etc. Can anyone tell me what the most current stable drivers are that support zbuffering ? I've been using the 2183s for a long time. Thx in advance!

I use the same combo of drivers and DX on my Win98Se machine. I also have no problems at all.

Aztec I lied! I DL'd V19 last night and I get the same message when I start. It runs but flickers--just like it sez.

I posted in the regular AH2 forum for suggestions. Prolly just a driver change is all. No biggie.

Well it DOES run AH1 no problemo.

Thx for the heads up Drano as I havn't tried any new drivers yet. Mine won't even run just freezes at the point I get the zbuffering message. Anyone else have a suggestion? My system:

1.3 GH Athlon
ECS K7S5A MB
Windows ME
eVGA GeForce ultra 2 64M
DX 9.0b
256 megs Corsair Ram
SB Live

I thought mine was frozen up too. You have to start the program to get rid of the error message. Move the clipboard if you have to and click offline, it'll start, then click out the error.

I found FR much improved--other than the flickering its cool.

My sys:

2.6 ghz intel
ASUS P4S800 MB
Win98SE
GEForce2 Ultra 64 mb
DX9.0b
512 of RDRAM
SB Live! Value

in beta 19 i get the z buffer message at start up , but im able to still play (the dash micro flashing is alittle irritating though )

this is with my
ecs k7s5a mb
1.3 ghz amd
512 ram
GF 2 mx 400 64mb  30.82 det. DX 9.0b

win 98se with fix it utilities AV program (pc cillins )

Check your start up menu for spyware ect ....

Guys I've remedied my fickering problem. Like I figured, all that I had to do was update the video drivers. I'd used the 30.82 detonators for so long without a problem it was one of those "if it ain't broke don't fix it" things.

Updating to the newest drivers from NVidia did the trick. I'm now running the v.56.64 drivers. Everything's great. Lots of new settings available in the display properties applet now.  

AH1 runs fine too.

What video card are you running Drano ???

I tried the 42.xx and the 45.xx drivers and they didnt work on my gf 2 cards I had to roll back to the 30.82's

I'll try the 56.xx's if anyone else has them working ok

yea im part of the "it aint broke ,dont fix it club" too.

thx I'll give them a try when i get brave in a few days ....

[aztec]

I downloaded and installed the 56.64 drivers and indeed no more message, no more flickering....however in the external view the planes are transparent. I can't really describe it...how can I go about posting them so you folks can have a look?
 Also have no idea where to set antialiasing , anistropic whatever to hell it was, vsync etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

i have a similar setup to yours, and ALSO got those messages using the 30.82, and the 41.09 Det. drivers.  So I switched to the Omega drivers, and no more message.  Didn't notice any FR hit in the MA, but i DID go in and turn VSync back on, which doesn't affect the Omega Drivers, and Skuzzy says to always have vsync on.

Maby do some reading on them, and give 'em a try.

I think i'm using the most recent version based on the detonator 45.23 driver, but i've only tried them a couple of days (and they messed with the graphics on C&C Generals) and AH2 has as of yet to run WELL for me.
I forsee a computer upgrade in the near future when AH2 finally goes alpha.
