Latest Video Card Drivers (http://www.lineage2.com/pds/pds_vga.html)

Pretty self explanatory, we always recommend for performance and stability to upgrade to the latest driver set. If there are any known issues on the latest release, we will do our best to let you know.

[Voodoo288]

Also i noticed the game is alot smoother with the new 4.9s from ati

[ChaosIIID]

I have a nvidia FX 5600 with the latest 61.77 drivers,
all is well for a while but sometimes the graphics get all messed up it looks like all the textures have been put in a blender, im trying the recommended 52.16 drivers right now to see if that works but I would like you guys to check out my problem as there may be others who have similar problems with the latest drivers from nvidia

[Endu_Serv_2]

Agreed, 4.9 work now smooth.

[arigo]

On GF FX Nvidia's 61.77 with L2 right now = No good.
Choppy, sticking, bad rendering, strange color flashes, strange light flashes - just all around bad performance.

For the best results it seems version 56.72 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_56.72.html) is the one to use.

[TetsuEbonheart]

61.77 seems to give me better performance except in certain towns withl ots of detail to draw. Then i get those wierdo color flashes. Other than that it runs much smoother than the previous.

[OriginalAshren]

What's this about ATI users saying good things about their drivers and nVidia users saying they're havnig problems? Have the tides turned in the GFX card driver arena?

Yes it has. I for one am never buying another graphics card from nvidia.

[Aelegent]

ATI all the way baby!

[Arigato]

Personally, the 65.73 drivers (which are 100% official nVidia drivers provided as reference drivers to their card manufacturers) work much, much better.

There are a LOT of nVidia drivers newer than 61.77 (at least 7 newer versions last I checked, although some of those are leaked beta) -- and 61.77 is a terrible set of drivers.

www.guru3d.com (http://www.guru3d.com) has all the drivers.

I have no idea why nVidia themselves don't seem inclined to release these directly.

[Knight69]

Hi all, I had a sever problem with the NVIDIA g force 4 card, after a month of corrispondence with the tech crew here, trying all the drivers including the beta's, it still would not cure the problem of freezing, choppy graphics etc....all the same issues discribed in here. I finally got fustrated and went and purchased a new vidieo card, a Radon 9550, and I will say one thing "AWSOME" I was finally able to log in and have been playing without ANY problems whatsoever.
Now...not to knock NVIDIA down here, a friend of mine has a G-Force 3 card and hasn't had any problems other than the odd error message and he just reboots his system and it is back to working proper, and I can see that the bigger cards from NVIDIA seem to be working fine.
I chose the Radon simply because the outlet I was in didn't have any NVIDIA cards availible, I am very pleased with the performance of the Radon card, Hope this little bit of info can assist any other users who might still be having trouble.

Thanks....Knight69

[EL_Puerco]

well i had this wierd texture mess up.
with ATI 4.9 , 4.8 and also with 4.7.
anyone else had this ?

I tried those for a little while, and I absolutely love them with all my other games, but for some reason they just don't want to work well at all with L2 on my system. :/ so odd

[/ QUOTE ]

I don't agree.. I tried the 4.9 from ati site and the omega drivers and the game lags more then 4.8..

I have a ati 9800 pro

EDIT: I'm going to take it back (for now)... I change some settings in the control panel of the video card and now its running better.. it lags a bit still but thats just my connection...

[Giannis]

PLease bve careful when buying graphics boards such as NVidia as some companies tend to combine faulty memory modules with the boards and as a result they neve rfunction correctly. This has happened with chaintech gf4 where the mem module would never catch up with the speed NVidia had set as a standard. Took it back to the shop after several threads posted on the internet.

Also bear in mind that NVidia uses a lot different routines in their drivers to cheat games to run fatser that results in corruption and problems.

Ever since I bought an ATI board I am just PERFECT with most games.

BTW most problems with graphical issues in this games are not factory or driver problems related. This games has several lame code issues that are a problem directed to developers and only developers. Most lag is cache related. Most lag is server related. Falling bug is developer's inability to fix (otherwise they would have).

Well, I have games that their makers say to use older drivers for them to work properly with the game.

I love the MYST series and with Myst 4 Revelation they say to use the 56.73 drivers from Nvidia for best performance. But for other games like Far Cry I need 61.xx drivers and for L2 I need 66.xx drivers for best performance.

Sucks having to keep changing video drivers every time you play a different game for a few hours.

[KeynesAlley]

I just installed the new 66.81 drivers {beta} from guru3d.com (http://www.guru3d.com/) and it works great.

It also fixed my problem of having to change video drivers to play some of my other games.

EDIT: fixed a couple of typos

[Arigato]

Hmm, haven't tried the 81's, I will give it a shot :)

[KeynesAlley]

If you are a Counter Stike player, the 66.81 might not be a good driver for you. Several people mentioned that CS {Half Life's old engine} has some problems with this driver.

After installing 66.81, I still get crashing, so I imagine its something else. Memory perhaps.

Ati omega beta and ati omega normal, work faster now, but crash also occasionally, suprisingly beta works more stable for me.

[Amborix]

Hi I have a gforce fxf 64 mb card. I am looking to upgrade to a 256 mb card. The problem is I don't have an agp slot. I want to know if any one knows of a good pci 256mb ati or nvidia card for under $400.00. I have ran many searches but it seams the only affordable pci cards max out at 128mb. I haVE SEEN ALOT OF $800.00+ PCI cards and they seem to be some kind of movie editing cards.
If you could help me out with some info I would apreciate it.

[MadDwarf]

Your best bet mate is a new M/B. Sorry can't be more helpfull on PCI cards, but AGP is really the only way to go these days if you want to play games. You may actually find it cheaper in the long run to do this. If you already have a fairly good CPU. Phone around some dealers and find the best M/B match for it.

[Grindrolas]

I've got a BFG 6800GT, and when running, even short distances, if the game world needs to load some new scenery in the distance it slows down to a crawl. I'm running the 65.62 drivers, going to try the 66.81's that everyones talking about, but can anyone think of anything else?

[andy1277]

which driver would you reccomend for a 6800 Gt?
With last Nvidia officila drivers my system gets very unstable.....blue screen crashes...

[Fures]

I'm running the same card and the 66.81's are working really well. On previous driver versions my game would randomly crash or blue screen with an irq not greater than... error. No such problems on the new drivers. (Thanks to these, I was finally able to play Doom3)

I have the same card and the same problem.
It's amazing that I can play Doom 3 all at max without a glitch and I have to put up with stuttering in L2.
At least I solved the blue screen problems.
I tried the 66.93 and the 61.77.
Terrible performance with the 61.77, slightly bettter with the 66.93.
Have u tried the 66.81 or others?

[Childeric]

Personnally, I suffered some issue using latest WHQL from nVidia... 66.93.

Now, I use the latest WHQL offered by my card manufacturer : ASUS... So it's 66.72, they're WHQL certified and I suffer no issue with them.

For some type of card, I really suggest people use the latest recommended by manufacturer rather than the latest suggested by nVidia.

[kloudd]

ok the tech support said i need to update my video card. so i uninstalled the old driver then downloaded a new one. in the process of installing it, it said it cannot find driver, Setup was unable to complete the installation. try to setup your display adaptor with a standard VGA driver before running setup. What on earth does this mean?

[JRocK1]

cat4.12 are out,any1 notice way more slow downs with them??anyways i went back to the 4.11's

[Destynei]

Does anyone else receive what I like to call "Light Flashes" with the nVidia 66.81 drivers? What I mean by this is that, when I walk into certain area's my character/NPC's appear as if they are nearly COMPLETEY shaded in white.

I've seen it happen with the Gludio guards. Weird effect.

The first week of C2 was pretty much crash-free for a while.

[Mr_DogZ]

Not trying to be a threadjacking twunt, but has anyone looked at my recent issue on this forum?

Pretty much linked with the all immortal message of "Update your drivers youngster", except the latest Nvidia ones have borked my system (random resetting etc)

Anyone else? Or is it my PC's "time of the month"?

[Ammano]

Card: PNY nVidia GeForce 6600GT

issue: polygon dropout and cross-welded verticies (like between verts on opposite legs causing "strings")

Drivers tried - results:

* nVidia 67.22 (from Guru3D) - polygon dropout & crosslinked verts

* nVidia 67.02 (beta straight from nVidia Website) - polygon dropout and crosslinked verts

* nVidia 66.93 (both the original driver that came with my card AND DL'd from nVidia Web site) - polygon dropout and crosslinked verts

* nVidia 66.81 (from Guru3D) - polygon dropout & crosslinked verts (this set seems to be generally liked in this thread, but I can't use them)

* Omega Forceware 1.6177 (from Omega site) - This set WORKED the first time I used it, but it could not identify WHAT my graphics card was and caused my system to not recognize my monitor as well...however, I can't find the right "card" (from the list that pops up...somehow it just picked one that worked the first time) to install now that I'm trying to go back to them, thus they are not working currently.

I will update my findings if I can get this to work to help future 6600GT users. If anyone has ALREADY gone through this problem and knows the solution, please let me know.

[Ricket]

just a suggestion, go to omegadrivers.net and use his drivers. They are tweaked for performance and he uses the best drivers that were compatable with no issues with L@ BUT he just tweaked them to perform better. He also did it to the ATI drivers

[Tumkins]

OK yeah, ATI is awsome. Now that we have that settled how about the OpenGL with the ATI so that we can make it even greater than it is now ? :cool: Please tell me there is a way to tell your Lineage 2 you use your OpenGL config rather that the directx or software rendering it's using at default... :confused: :eek:

[Lonefox]

Latest drivers my [censored].....

I run the game on:
Intell P4 3.0
2GB DDR 400 dual mode
ATI X800PRO 256MB

I use the latest ref-drivers from ATI and DirectX 9.0c and still the game crashes from time to time...

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)
CPU: GenuineIntel Unknown processor @ 3306 MHz with 2047MB RAM

General protection fault!

History: NConsoleWnd::Tick <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop

Sometimes it's a longer msg but it always end up with "UpdateWorld <- MainLoop" and that IMO is just bad programming from NCSofts side....

[TheSallElf]

Thank you so much for suggesting the omega drivers :) I tried 4 different regular nvidia drivers with getting BSOD every time I played but the omegas fixed it.

Hmmm some very interesting discussions on Nvidia ... I own a PNY 5950 Ultra 256 and I too am having major video issues or network issues.. i cant seem to determine.. all i know is when playing and going to Giran, it takes a good 5 mins to even move .. when i port there, there is no one there.. but then everyone seems to trickle in until everyone and everyones spot is loaded.. then i am able to move....same thing happens when im in a group.. if in a large group with many mobs, my video freezes for like 4secs to 2mins until im back in action ... almost like there is a cacheing issue.. not sure.... all i know is I am running the latest forcewave drivers from guru3d.com ... anyone else having this problem on a ATI card? ... tks..

[azuzu21]

how do i find what video card i have and what version it is

[Fures]

Not sure what's happening but I keep getting the BSOD randomly while playing. Sometimes it will happen a few seconds after I log in, sometimes not for 20 or 30 mins, but ever since C3 came out I haven't been able to play for more than an hour without getting the BSOD and having to restart. I've gone through every official and modified driver version I could get my hands on since December and the problem persists. Usually the BSOD identifies my nv4_disp.dll file or other driver files, but it seems like the game just doesn't care what drivers I'm using as none of them seem to work.

I'm currently using DHZP 71.89, but have used their 76.44, and OmegaDrivers 66.93 with the same results on each (BSOD)

My system:
AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1800Mhz)
Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT
1GB DDR RAM
NForce 2 MoBo
SB Audigy2 ZS
WinXP Pro SP2

[EyTschej]

I'm back with C3 after a longer break and can live with some minor visual bugs that were added, but I'm pretty much annoyed by the fact that anti-aliasing doesn't work anymore.

I first set aa to 2x in-game, simply as a test (my ATI drivers are set to 4x aa though). No aa, so I tried 4x in-game and it was the same. Then I chose "none" and still the same - so aa obviously didn't work anymore.

After that I reset the ATI drivers to default aa and started the game again. I once again tried "none", 2x and 4x in-game, but still no change, still no working anti-aliasing !

Windows ME
Radeon 9700, 128 MB (with latest ATI drivers)

How can I get aa to work again ? It worked without any problems ever since Prelude - what did you guys "fix" with C3 ?!? :(

ATI: Catalyst® for Windows® XP Version 5.10 with Catalyst® Control Center (33MB) (https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=6 40)

nVidia: NEW! Release 80 Graphics Driver (http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp)

[cyberchink]

I have just recently updated my ATI drivers(Catalyst) to 5.12.

Before my game can get to the log-in screen it minimizes and gives me ATI window with this in it:
Failed to delay load library mscorlib.dll (win 32 error: 998)
This program can no longer run and will now terminate.

Before this update I was able to run the game smoothly
My system:
Dell 2400
P4 2.66 Ghz
1 gig DDR ram
40 gig HD
ATI Radeon 9250 (256mb PCI, not PCI express)
DSL connection
Win XP w/SP2

Please help me out

[Splatter]

Remove the ATI Catalyst drivers 5.12.... And install the version that doesn't use the Catalyst Control Center.

It's the one under the Low Speed "Dial Up Section"..... "Display Driver Only"

I had the same issues as you and it took me a month to debug the issue. For me it wouldn't minimize the game but i would get that popup under the game, at one time i got 50 error windows in 15 minutes of playing.

I'm not sure what the issue was but: NET Frame work, Catalyst Control Center, GameGuard something along those lines was causing the errors.

[MiykaelQA]

Yeah. What Splatter said.

I made this post in a different thread.

Hey Miykael....

This issues didn't just appear with the 5.12 drivers....

It's been around for awhile, i think it started way back in the 5.10 drivers...But don't quote me on that.

If the hardware guys need any info or a person to help them pinpoint the problem. I'll be more then happy to help.

[Ticklemytummy2]

If you DL the full catalyst drivers and do a custom install, you can uncheck the control center box. Just make sure you recheck the driver box. For some reason, unchecking the control center unchecks em both - very weird. I haven't had any problems till my most recent keyboard/mouse issue which may turn out to be a WinXP/Motherboard issue :(.

[Queendarkness]

Hello all, I am having the same issue with the mscorlib error. I HAVE to use the catlyst center because I got a crossfire setup and the only way to enable this is to use the control center. Anyone have any ideas how to get this error away without uninstalling the C Control center?

[Judas]

Catalyst Control center is a requirement for game to work properly... graphic and preformance wise.. it includes nessary auto adjustment of the Catalyst AI to apply specific setting that are built for specific games. If not apply, any number of problems can crop up.

It should always be set to Normal... nothing else enless you have very good knowledge of this section. (NEVER OFF enless your debugging a possible problem)..

NVidia currently has a few problem with lineage2 and there latest budles of beta drivers and i think there LAST official. Please send Nvidia information pertaining to the problem to them, as well as providing NCSoft with a problem ticket with the nessary information.

I've heard several people with the 6xxx and 7xxx series of Nvidia cards having numerous problems with lineage2.

Additionally, the lastest Catalyst is 5.13s released the 21st.. make sure before updating... that you REMOVE all previous version of the drivers/CCC/WDM drivers... followed by a reboot, and loading of the new ones...

Well the updated 5.13 CCC drivers did NOT fix that "mscorlib" error... I'm still getting it, so i went back to the version without CCC.

[Debraininated]

I have also just gotten the mscorlib errors on my two workstations after upgrading to the full Catalyst 5.13 Release. In full-screen mode, you can't even login, the error keeps reappearing. When in windowed mode, you get the two errors initially, but after those you can login. Using the Catalyst removal tool (on the driver download page) and reinstalling the driver only 5.13 package fixes the problem. Both machines run XP SP2 32bit, one is a P4 with a 9800XT, the other is A64 with a X850XT.

.net 1.1 or higher is REQUIRED to use the CCC

Update: I found a driver that Fixes the Grafik bug to 80% for me. Its the 81.84 Forceware Driver. I tested it with a Clanmate and its working for him too.
Only problem is that IF the game Crashes u have to reboot ur PC cause the game will crash right after u restart it again (most of the time). Think we have to wait till some working Drivers come out or maybe C4 will fix it??? ^^

[Katsuki_Amano]

Well I tested the C4 client and still the bugs with the latest ATI drivers still there. Only way to fix is to completely remove the CCC witch is a bad idea or downgrade the drivers to older versions. And yes FrameWork 1.1 and version 2 are install so that is not the problem ( only Lineage 2 bugs like that no other game does )

[Kikkilatzi]

I'm not sure where to post this question since this problem only happens when I play Lineage 2 C4 PTS. The error does not appear when I load the normal Lineage 2 C3. However it also has a big problem regarding C3. I will try to describe both problems here.

The graphic card on the computer having this problem is a Radeon XT850. It has the latest Catalyst Driver installed - 5.13 (complete with CC) and the latest DivX. After the game loads and before loading the log-in screen I usually get a pop-up screen which says "Failed to delay load lib mscorlib.dll (MS Error : 982)" The game doesn't crash imeediately but continues to load the game. Once it fully loads, the screen spins 360 non stop. If you try to go to the options menu, the game crashes and the usual pop-up error window from lineage which details everything it says went wrong appear (the bug report window)

I tried installing the driver without the CC too but it didn't solve the problem

The problem it has with C3 is whenever I port into Giran and it finishes loading, nothing works. I can't move, I can't type, I can't open inventory, my character would just stand there. You can't close the game via the options tab. It would still open the tab once you click on it but that's the only thing you can do. I usually have to alt+tab and close the game via task manager. After closing the game with task manager, the bug report window with the long list of errors will without fail appear.

Hello , My system keeps on crashing and I am getting the following error:
Error message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
View products that this article applies to.
Article ID : 293078
Last Review : November 24, 2005
Revision : 3.8
This article was previously published under Q293078
SYMPTOMS
You may receive one of the following Stop error messages:
STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
STOP: 0x100000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the display driver is caught in an infinite loop while it waits for the video hardware to become idle. This issue typically indicates a problem with the video hardware or that the display driver cannot program the hardware correctly.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, obtain and install the most current driver for your video adapter, or replace your video card.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
2. On the Settings tab, click Advanced, and then click the Troubleshoot tab.
3. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None, and then click to clear the Enable Write Combining check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK.

Note This procedure prevents the display driver from programming the hardware incorrectly, but you may lose some display functionality and performance. Although you can increase the hardware acceleration settings higher than None to regain functionality and performance, these settings increase the chance that the issue will occur again. For maximum stability, leave hardware acceleration off.

MORE INFORMATION
This Stop error message may also occur in video adapter drivers that do not represent a physical device. For example, this Stop error message may occur in the virtual video adapter driver that is used by Symantec PCAnywhere. If PCAnywhere is installed on a computer where this error message occurs, visit the Symantec Web site to determine if there are any available fixes for your version of PCAnywhere.

Now, I have a new 7800 gtx and new Samsung 940b Flat screen. My processor is an AMD 4000+ with 2 gigs of ram.

The Driver I have is the latest NVIDIA 81.98 Forceware.

I tried the workaround and it does not work. Does anyone have a solution?
Is there a solution?

Thanks
Megalark

[Judas]

try to use a previous driver version... or the latest beta drivers...

But i'm really leaning towards that you have a faulty video card.. please emediately try a few different driver sets.. if they produce the same result ... HURRY and return the card and get it replaced as it IS FAULTY....

Hello...
I'm experiencing some texture bugs since the start of c3, with the new client textures got...Well they look not as well as before, i got used to it thought, but it would be great if you could tell me how it can be fixed.
I also noticed some kind of texture geometry bug few days ago on my characters back, it wasnt there before, im 100% sure of it...and I didint changed anything anythere. So strange.

As you can see theres obviosly smth wrong with hers back. It dissapeares then i unequip my armor.

The last thing is water reflections, they worked perfectly a long long time ago, as i can remeber I updated my driver and the reflections stopped working.

My video card is GeForce 4200 Ti 128 mb. I downloaded the newest driver yesterday but, sadly, it didint helped.

Please write any thoughts or suggestions about fixing these problems, i want to enjoy this game fully.

I have a Gforce 6800gt card, I got all latest graphic drivers installed etc but have 1 major problem with the game.. i cant move at all in Giran, every other town im fine except this 1, i can read chat etc but cant move at all, any1 have any ideas?

Which drivers should I use. Please send a link

[SethofAlmarak]

Have you tried toying around with your monitor's contrast and brightness levers? you can also change your renderer preferences on the in game video options. Change gamma to a higher setting and see if that helps; your problem has nothing to do with drivers.

[Razael]

Hi, got the new Nvdia 7800 and last driver 81.98.
Lineage2 happen to freeze for very long time.. sometime only wayout was a reboot.

I found on official nvida driver release documentation (the pdf file) a section of OPEN ISSUE and a work around (adding 2 dword keys on registry to disable multithread optimization for videodrivers).

I'm playing days since the registry modification and no more strange freeze.

This should go for multicore/hyperthread processors.

Bye

[Judas]

this happens with ATI cards.... catalyst version 6.2 and 6.3's...

Game may run fine for hours.. or minutes.... and then suddenly experience a slowly worsening of choppyness and then a complete hault.. waiting several minute can sometimes fix the issue...

The strange thing is.... although everything appears to be in standstill... the mouse pointer still moves without a hitch... smooth as silk.... yet you cannot type.. you cannot click anywhere.. you can't do anything....

[aJx]

yeah i have the same problem .
My game freezes every 1min for 10 sec . each time , and i also see some gfx bugs like flickering armor peaces .
How the hell can i fix that , i tryed older and new drivers nothing works .

[shadowninja214]

hi, im not a comp genious at all. I have a GeForce 5500(i know, not great but all i could afford) and after i updated C4 my game freezes after logging in. I need to get a new driver but am afraid of messing up my new g card. Last time i updated my old one it screwed over all together.. plz help :(

[naliz]

I just bought a new comp with the new Asus 7600GT series and everything works just fine and dandy except Lineage 2. After around 1 min ongame the computer freezes up and I ahve to do a hard reset. Does anyone else have some experience with this card?

My ATI 9800 pro was busted trying to switch it between computers, and even tho we seemed to have fixed it, it's not working properly. I won't go into detail cuz quite seriously it seems it is [censored]. But I have had to put my old Nvidia Riva TNT2 64 back on my second system. I bought the ATI so that I could put my GeForce on the second system and use the ATI for the gaming system... but now I'm back to square one.

When try to log onto L2, I'm told that I need to update my drivers. I've tried updating them, but get the message that I have the latest drivers for this card.

I know that L2 did support this card at one time... but it stopped working late C3. If anyone has a solution or workaround, I would be eternally grateful. :D

[Judas]

your card is no longer supported.. i don't think even a geforce 1 would work... geforce 2 may even be impossible to load...

i beleive PS 1.3 is now minimum requirements which is a Gefroce 3 or ATI Radeon 8xxx series

hi im having problems with lineage. im geting random lock ups whil playing some times i get a bsod and sometimes ill just have to reset. ive tested my ram/graphics card/tryed 4 dif drivers/tryed dif chipset drivers/and tryed reseating everything and everything is nice and cool. im starting to think im gonna have to cancel my account because it is unplayable. ohh yeh and bout 6 months ago it all worked fine ( started again bout 2 months ago)

anyway hers the info from the bsod any info u can give me would be great.

THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M (100000ea)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
If the kernel debugger is connected and running when watchdog detects a
timeout condition then DbgBreakPoint() will be called instead of KeBugCheckEx()
and detailed message including bugcheck arguments will be printed to the
debugger. This way we can identify an offending thread, set breakpoints in it,
and hit go to return to the spinning code to debug it further. Because
KeBugCheckEx() is not called the .bugcheck directive will not return bugcheck
information in this case. The arguments are already printed out to the kernel
debugger. You can also retrieve them from a global variable via
"dd watchdog!g_WdBugCheckData l5" (use dq on NT64).
On MP machines it is possible to hit a timeout when the spinning thread is
interrupted by hardware interrupt and ISR or DPC routine is running at the time
of the bugcheck (this is because the timeout's work item can be delivered and
handled on the second CPU and the same time). If this is the case you will have
to look deeper at the offending thread's stack (e.g. using dds) to determine
spinning code which caused the timeout to occur.
Arguments:
Arg1: 85831c10, Pointer to a stuck thread object. Do .thread then kb on it to find
the hung location.
Arg2: 85ec0698, Pointer to a DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object.
Arg3: f7a0fcb4, Pointer to offending driver name.
Arg4: 00000001, Number of times "intercepted" bugcheck 0xEA was hit (see notes).

OK, im bout done, ive tried every thing, i done used the 84.21 update for nvidia and the 78.01 and the 62.71 and now the recommended one, i dont know wtf is going on but i really need help, ive done every thing support ahs told me and nothing is working, i have every thing this game needs, i dont know wth else to do, im running a stress test on my ram right now, but every thing else has been done. can some one answer my prayers and get this stuff fixed

[Spudnik]

sometimes a simple turning down of hardware acceleration makes things run better. i know on my 5200 nvidia card, all i needed to fix random restarts and a few types of critical errors was to turn it down a notch.

[Soldiers]

What driver should I use with a Geforce4 MX 440?

[Judas]

www.nvidia.com (http://www.nvidia.com) and go to downloads and drivers.. download the unified package.. just supply the specifics of your system.. OS... card.... etc.

[nthnaoun123]

I have a Geforce FX 5500 series video card and have been able to play Everquest 2 on lower settings, so I know my card is good enough. For some reason with this game, I see tiny little blocks instead of nice graphics that I'm hearing other people are experiencing. Instead of a clear picture of a stone that I'm walking on, I get what looks to be a stone out of focus to where I can see a bunch of tiny little blocks that make up the stone. I have the latest driver and just downloaded the latest Beta driver to give it a shot. This is discouraging to play a game and everything look graphically worse than a game made in the late 90's.

Is there a driver recommended for this game for NVIDIA users? If so, which one, and where do I download it from?

Thanks for the help.

I also get this type of error. I dunno what the problem is, but it keep scrashing my Lineage while I play. In addition, my screen will go weird once in a while. I will try to fraps what happens and maybe someone will be able to explain what is going on.

I just recently upgraded my mb and gfx card, I had the latest Nvidia drivers installed, but I couldn't load the game with those. I installed the most recent set of drivers and I can get in game, but have continual crash problems and graphic errors. When my screen goes funny, it says something about DirectX buffer overflow error.

Hi , I'm playing in L2 a month maybe more , I have a big problem with support HDR in game ... When I'm using HDR a , b or c and play some time my game was crashed ( black screen , like screensaver then go back to game and VPU Recovery in my ATI drivers will start ) ... When I'm using a Bloom effect a or b , my game did not crash ... This is only Lineage 2 problem , on example Elders Scrolls Oblivion HDR support fine , other game same ... My graphics card is sapphire x1900GT , I'm using drivers ( now OMEGA ) earlier I had ATI catalyst 6.5 , 6.9 , 6.10 and newest ver. 6.11 ... and still have a problem with this :( , Any one have same problem ? please help ... and sorry for my language .I salute all

[Splatter]

If you are looking for NC support.... A support ticket needs to be made out.

[Zazz]

DreamEvil use omega 6.1 and launch Ati tray tools
then desactive all Direct3D optimizations and OpenGL optimizations
it works for me

[IronMan_4u]

Lineage2 dose not support Nvidia 5/6 base cards. Even if you update to the newest Nvidia driver you will still get this Critical error or have vidoe curruption of some sort in the game. If your lucky you will just get a L2.exe crash with a we are sorry for the inconvence msg lol. my older version was (9147) and had this same msg. get the same error with the updated version. only one reason that could be happening now is they do not support Nvida 5 series cards and from the looks of these posting most the problems are comming from Nvida cards/drivers.


If you ask me i think the game is trying to access something the so called supported cards do not have or cant Do. You be the judge.

GForce 5 & 6 series should be supported without problems (except performance issues).
I have never played with a 5 series, but I played with a 6600GT (AGP from MSI) for a year, with decent performance.

Please post the source of the supposed incompatibility between GF5&6 and Lineage2.

[Lisanna]

If you want my opinion, I think he's trying to enable HDR settings that the GeForce 5500 series doesn't support. I could dig mine out and see if I can recreate his error with mine. :)

[IronMan_4u]

i got there tech crew stomped on the fx 5500 issue lol. they had me download many programs to look into my machine and so far i have to keep downloading more off the net. we know for sure my card is working fine and the fx5500 driver is 9371. only took 2 weeks to figure that out lol. Now i had to send them a log file from hijackthis software. If that comes up clean there next move will be to take the card of the supported list. lol i would. im hoping its not just this card. ive had no problems with MSI stuff. I dont crash anymore using escape scrolls, i crash now when i log in a diffrent player of mine. You could say problem solved just dont log in other players lol :).

[IronMan_4u]

i have all the settings in the game to min. and ive placed the cards settings to default just to see if it helps. ive even taken off the 8x in the bios to 4x to see if that would work..

i did try that when i first got the game to run it at max on the fx card. That was a funny moment, turning and moving was SAD lol. Right now i have everything at min, except the npc range and the terrain range is at Avg. I dont want to run into monsters :). This error never happens in the field {rare} only when im in a town.

[Stromnar]

Can anyone suggest good drivers for an Ati Radeon 9600 Pro?

I've tried everything from the latest official Catalyst 7.X all the way down to 6.8. Then I switched to Omega and went all the way down to 3.8.252 from their latest. I started getting problems such as a few crit errors at certain areas I'd port into that I never got before. Would send in the error report but the crit errors became more frequent. Up to one every buff round now and a BSOD about every hour. These problems started when I had to upgrade my drivers to the latest Catalyst version so I can only assume it's a driver issue.

So yeah, anyone with a Radeon 9600 Pro out there that can let me know which drivers they use and how they perform?

Edit: Just to add some more information. I've performed Full Checks. Reinstalled another client on this machine. Also have deleted my system folder twice and redownloaded the files. None of them helped.

[Splatter]

Just what does the critical error say?

And have you tired the non CCC drivers?

[Stromnar]

I've tried the non CCC Omega drivers and tried uninstalling CCC on other drivers. With CCC on I used to get those **** CLI.exe errors so I stopped using it.

I'll copy the error next time I get it. It's usually the General Protection Faul! Gametick->Engine...

Nope. I usually just download the standard Catalyst download which comes with WDM Drivers and CCC. End up chosing not to install it or removing it later.

Think I should look for one that only offers display drivers?

I used to have a CLI error all of the time with the CCC drivers. I never really found a permanent fix for it, but by just using the non CCC drivers i never had that issue.

I can make some suggestions on how to fix the CLI error. You see i had to put up with it for 6 months :)

You know I think I used to have that same exact error...I believe it had to do with GameGuard. GG randomly screwss with application launching names/addresses and if you have a application firewall, it sees the launching process as 'new' instead of as something you already permitted, thus prevents it from running (or waiting for your input) and you get all those lovely errors.

It's been sometime now since I made any changes to my PC that I couldnt' tell you exactly what I changed or (re)installed to get rid of the error. I think I just used the non-ccc drivers for my ati, but ever since they started pushing the CCC it seems like you get it in some way no matter which driver pack you choose.

As for the UEngine error...not sure. I'd be tempted to think it's a file corruption error but it could be just some bad memory. Hard to say. I don't use a 9600, so I can't directly compare the few Uengine errors I've had before. (9550) Could even be something so simple as reseating the RAM or HD cables. Is this a pre-built machine or custom PC?

[Stromnar]

I just decided enough was enough, now running 2003 with latest Cat drivers and everything seems fine.

Guess we can chalk whatever it was up to some sort of OS or Driver corruption.

[Nanashi_Naomhan]

the CLI error can be solved by uninstalling control centre

I Know Nvidia Fx 5500 cards are not completly suported with this game. This information came directly from Nvidia, after i sent in many critical error msgs. Switched to Ati 0 problems.

Thus it would feed out a critical error. these errors happened all the time when i logged in or when using a SOE. Not no more, Ncsoft kept trying to tell me they do supported it lol. It may be on there ok list and yes you can run the game with it but, have a nice day with massive critical errors lol.

ATI is the clear leader in overall driver support (now that the CCC is cleaned up, fast and user friendly).

By far, ATI is also the definitely leader in Windows Vista support.... PERIOD...

CLI Error (http://www.frontiernet.net/~jamesl/error.jpg)

You see.... I know :)

By the way, thats 15 minutes of playing :D

[/ QUOTE ]\

Dont know if anyone touched on this yet but:
The CLI errors are coming from the ATI Control Panel Application. Installing or updating your .NET framework should cure the problem. If not, just uninstall that poopy software. thats what i did.
FYI... The omega drivers dont work 100% with the ATI CP
anyway.

i have card ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 Series with 128MB ram.
and Catalist driver version 07.5 (the latest).
i assume the problem is with the driver. what else driver should i install to make it work?

[licrydis]

any chance it could be a problem i dont have .net framework 2.0 or higher?

[Judas]

Uninstall .net 1.1 if you have it (and all the updates that go with it)..

if don't have any .net frameworks, then go and download .net 3.0 ONLY, install it (which should automatically install .net 2.0 as well backwards capabilities). Then do a clean install of the 7.5 catalysts

By doing so, you'll need to go into the add and remove.

FIRST

Remove the ATI Catalyst Control Center first, DO NOT REBOOT

SECOND
Remove the ATI DRIVERS (when the dialog pops up with a list, select ALL and then remove them) DO NOT REBOOT

THIRD

REMOVE ATI software Uninstaller

after that is complete, reboot the machine

next download and install that latest ati catalyst (7.5 currently)

After the computer has restarted, all fuctionality of the video card/igp should be fully restored and working properly.

[licrydis]

thanks for advice. i will try and report if the procedure will be succesfull.

[FlamerionBr]

Hi guys!
so, I se many, manyyyyy, thing about this ATI X1300, thats my hardware too..

and it always send a msg of error....
same as others posts, but im always have uninstall all drivers and put the last..
Version driver 8.273.0.0

So...i can somone help me??
dont know what do!

I have one Pentiun 4-1G-had40-Geforce 256Mb, and it works very nice line, but in my
Celeron D3,20-Hd320-Radeon X1300-2Gb DDR2, dosent work...

[IronMan_4u]

The new Nvidia drivers now dont pass the windows labs test. such a nice card company.

[Rooler]

I am having serious issues with my BFG 6800. When I start the game it locks up and sometimes even reboots the comp. When it reboots the windows log says the video driver got stuck in a continuous loop. I have tried the latest drivers and even uninstalled the card and started over with the install disk but no help there. I have had the card for 2.5 years and never had a problem with the game before. Any suggestions?

[Bambam]

When you are at the login screen, go to options and try a different resolution. See if that helps. -Bam

Hey,
My direct draw, direct 3d, and AGP dont work.
I downloaded DirectX I tried the DXDiag thing, the only thing that I can click on is Test Direct Draw, nothing else works, or will even be tested. Any ideas?


When I try to log on a critical error box comes up and says that I need to enable Directdraw and Direct3d


THIS IS WHAT THE POP UP SAYS

Please enable Direct3D acceleration. You can do this by starting dxdiag and enabling Direct3D Acceleration in the Display1/2 tab after installing DirectX 8.1b (or later) and the latest drivers for your graphics card."


THIS IS SOME DXDIAG INFO

[Judas]

bballmj88, according to the info, you laptop doesn't have video acceleration of any kind, it's using the "Default, VGA driver" which essentually means that you currently do not have any manufacturers driver install... find out what video chipset is on it and download the latest, usually available from the manufacturer.

[Sturg]

judas , what gfx card u running?

[Judas]

HD3870's (x2) in crossfire.....

my sig has this information

[Senaca]

holy sh*t your system is sick XD

[Judas]

yeah it is rediculious.... but i don't have to be concerned about about "running" anything within the next year... at it's peak quality...

well aside from lineageII.. but that's another ballgame in itself... that will never win.

[Cornac]

Hi,
I can't run CT1 for some reason.

It seem a bit like the problem that guy had on page 13, so I did everything PvrJudas told him to do, uninstall net 2.0, install net 3.0, clean uninstall of catalyst, then clean install of 7.11.

still the same... and everything else is up to date.. fresh XP install, SP2, all drivers for every components etc... Im a bit stuck >_<

Video Card: aTi Sapphire X1950GT
Drivers: Catalyst 7.11
Directx: 9.0c (included in sp2)

It run fine on other games so I don't know what's the deal here...

thx for help !

[Judas]

Have you tried installing the latest update to DirectX9.0c?

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;DisplayLang=en (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1a2393c0-1b2f-428e-bd79-02df977d17b8&DisplayLang=en)

go there.. download and then install it..

when you run it, it'll ask you where to install... usually best to just punch in C:\dx

hit install or extract or whatever the option is (ok?)...

after it's done.. go into C: and then into the dx folder... scroll down to SETUP and run it... follow the onscreen instructions from there....

hopefully a update to the system will resolve the problem.

Also if you go into the ati CCC..... can you post a screenshot of the hardware/software tabs?

[Cornac]

While you typed that post I already reinstalled Directx 9.0c Redist thinking maybe the one included in SP2 was corrupted but no it wasnt that, I also used the driver provided on a CD-rom with the card which is catalyst 7.7 suite... but the problem remain.

I also ran a full test under 3D mark 06 and it runs smoothly.

so this is what appear in CCC:

Come on Judas you will find whats wrong im sure :p
oh and dont be scared by the AGP 4X setting... Im upgrading my PC slowly.. next step will be a new mobo and proc so atm im using the card under its possibilities but it still works fine in all games I have decent fps...

Also I forgot to mention this is a fresh install of Lineage, downloaded full client last night.

[Cornac]

Problem solved...
I was running in dualscreen extended desktop 2560*1024 on my two CRT's, apparently the game doesnt like it at all... im gonna have to find another way to box on my 2nd screen...

[Judas]

Hmm.... i haven't ran dual/triple/quad screen for ages with LineageII....

i'd highly suggest submitting a report to NCSoft..

[Cornac]

I did submit a detailed report including Dxdiag.txt and telling the same things I did here, tried different drivers etc...

Their suggestion was that my drivers werent up to date and I that I should download the latest... which doesnt surprise me from NCSoft support lol.

I had the courtesy to tell them that I solved the problem by myself and suggest they should fix that extended desktop bug.

[PennieWise]

ok I just fixed this,

it not DirectX its ur latest video card drivers, go back to the ones you last used before and it will fix this.

I have an ATI 9800 XT but the problem is cinsistent with all the new drivers they sent out.

[Judas]

AGP users, i would highly suggest using only Catalyst 7.6's or earlier versions....

AGP is going the way of the dino, and ati has having difficulties resolving the agp issues...

[BigBodZod]

Yes they have, I guess I'm one of the lucky few as my X1650 Pro AGP is running L2 with the latest Catalyst 7.11's just fine ;)

But then again I have two machines that I can use to play L2 with...

However, I wonder just how many AGP users there are out there, they were around for quite a few years so there still could be millions out there that are using AGP intead of upgrading to a PCIe based motherboard.

Even Sapphire has released a couple of X2600 based AGP cards too so it makes you wonder if any of the latest X3850/3870 GPU's will find their way onto an AGP card too.

[Judas]

If i recall right, EVERY AGP version of ati cards beyond the x8xx series is actually a pci-ex card with a AGP bridge....

so every x1300+/HD2400+/ or higher used a pci-ex to agp bridge setup..

I think majority of peoples issues are related to the non bridged chips....

Currently NO motherboard i'm aware of comes with an AGP port at all for the last year or so....

[BigBodZod]

Yeah, I didn't think about that PCIe-&gt;AGP bridge, perhaps this will make the neccessary timing adjustments to make sure these GPU's work properly on older AGP bus motherboards.

As for anybody making a board with AGP, you do know that AsRock still makes there DUO board using the VIA VT880 chipset ?!?

The 4CoreDual-SATA2 (http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=4CoreDual-SATA2) comes with both a PCIe and AGP slot, gues it's that cross-over board for folks looking to get a newer CPU and still use their old parts, but of course if they are getting a new graphics card then they can use the PCIe slot ;)

[Judas]

Yes, but i typically stay as far away from asrock..

my current samplings show Gigabyte in the lead with stability and performance.. with asus trailing behind....

Abit and MSI have failed horribly......

All the other off brand types.. or subdevisions of the top brands are failures in my eyes....

[BigBodZod]

Well I almost agree with you on this one, I prefer Asus first and Gigabyte second ;)

As for the AsRock board, my ex-boss still pays me for upgrading his work and gaming machines every so often and just recently wanted to go the Core 2 Duo route but recycle some of his older parts.

He had an 865G machine with a nice ATi AGP card and DDR400 ram, the only solution I could find was the AsRock motherboard, which to my suprise was actually a decent performer for the cost, not great but not a slouch either.

The nice thing is that he can upgrade now to either a PCIe graphics card, like the newer G92 nVidia models or the x3850/3870 models and to the newer DDR2 memory as well.

I just downloaded the latest nVidia BETA for my SLI rig, but have not had a chance to test them with L2 or anything else yet.

So far my ATi card has been working just fine with the latest Catalyst 7.11 build.

[Judas]

Don't get me wrong..

If i were forced in deciding on a cheap end motherboard, i'd definitely grab a ASROCK board..... i've been quite impressed with them vs other ones.....

[Oranj2]

asrock are crap, had 2 both failed within 12 months.

[Judas]

ASRock as garbage... but they are better overall then the real big no name brands out there.....

personally only gigabyte and asus are my flavors.... i won't touch msi/abit/etc.

[Dbosch]

LOL @ asrock, i had that garbage. whatever u do dont buy asrock, i think the name speaks for itself.
