Detonator 2 drivers, Geforce DDR = PROBLEM!
 

I just downloaded and installed the Detonator 5.22 drivers. During the opening movie in UT, just as the camera emerges from the sewer into town (you know, just before that little car drives by, bringing up dust?), the game bombs with the following error:

Failed blt: DD_OK

History: UD3DRenderDevice::SetTexture <- UD3DRenderDevice:: DrawComplexSurface <- URender:: DrawFrame ... blah blah blah


Along with this strange line in the log http://boards.ioerror.com/smile.gif ...

Log: Crash in URender:: DrawWorld? Don't be sad. Here is a rose: @>--,---'--

Anyone else encountering this?

I'm running an Asus V6800 Pure, GeForce DDR.

those drivers are just buggy. expect to see a lot of that when using those. try using the 3.xx drivers. they are much more stable

I have an ASUS V6800 Deluxe DDR and just installed those 5.22 drivers from nVidia yesterday. So far everything works. But I changed the intro of my UT so I don't get that stupid intro anymore. But the game works fine. If you want you can change you .ini so you don't have the intro too. This is how to do it:

To get Unreal Tournament to load up faster you should open your UnrealTournament.ini. Search for the line LocalMap=CityIntro.unr change it to LocalMap=UT-Logo-Map.unr & save the changes. The game should now load faster than it currently does. Press the Esc key to bring up the Unreal Tournament GUI.

I tried disabling the intro, but the game itself still bombs while in play.

So, I went back down to the 5.13 drivers.

The intro and the game work just fine now.

(Running an Asus P3B-F board, known to have issues with the GeForce, just my luck http://boards.ioerror.com/frown.gif )

Thanks for the suggestions.

Here is a thought... Where did you get those 5.22 drivers from? I got mine from nVidia's website. You may have gotten pre-released drivers... Hope this helps
