Subject: [OT] Nvidia Drivers


Sorry for the OT to everyone who DOESN'T use an Nvidia card - but there was
a discussion here earlier - so I wanted to give a heads-up to those who do.

Nvidia recently released their Detonator 3 Driver (version 6.18 - man their
numbering scheme leads to confusion). Until this update I never had a
driver-related problem in EQ - (even with SB-Live that a lot of people have
had problems with).

Once I installed 6.18 and went into EQ - it locked up. The first time - I
tried switching from weaps to Drum - and it locked when I put the drum in
the appropriate hand slot. Rebooted, came back to EQ. Then did a tell or
two - and as soon as I tried to move forward - locked again.

I had to revert to previous drivers (5.33) and no problems. Beware
upgrading drivers...
