Hi !

I have a Tornado(Inno3D) Geforce 4 Ti 4200 128Mo AGPx4.
My OpenGl games (Ennemy territory, Wolfenstein...) locks up with the new
official detonator drivers.

With the driver version 53.03 . These games lock up after 20s of play
(hard
reset).
With the driver version 52.16. These games lock up immediately ! at the
init
of the opengl coponents.
With the old driver version 45.33. These games Work fine !

It's strange, because the 2 first drivers are WHQL certified, not the
third
that works fine.
My motherboard and video card are not overclocked,
In the BIOS a have reduced to the minimum the AGP values - same results.
3DMARK2003 works fine with these 3 versions.

My Config:
All drivers, OS, BIOS are up to date.
Windows XP Home SP1
MB : ASUS A7N8X-X with nForce2 chipset
512DDR
Athlon 2600+
Sound Blaster live !

Any Idea ?
Best Regards.







IMHO, (and some other's in this group and other forums I've read), the 45.23
are the most stable for any flavor of Ti4200. (Mine is a Gainward 64 MB).
I may be wrong, but aren't 5X.XX drivers optimized for DX9 hardware? I tried
one (don't remember which) and it gave me fits.
After installing DX9, I ran into many problems that required me to go to a
backed up image that has DX8 and all was fine.
Just my experience. Your mileage will vary.
