SI lands dont work with Geforce FX 5800 :(

[sebula]

I have tried to play the new SI lands with my new Geforce FX 5800 graphics card, but i cannot it freezes and its tremendously laggy at best.
Although if i play in the Hibernia lands on the Excalibur Server it works fine, so i am thinking its isolated to the SI lands alone.
Here si some info on my system that might be usefull in helping me out.

i hope this helps getting this issue resolved as i am finding it rather annoying being limited to the Hibernia lands all the time.

scrap DX9

and don´t use the newest nvidia drivers

 

[sebula]

I have tried to find the uninstall option/prog for DX9 but i cant even tried installing DX8.1 over the top of it but to no joy.
If you can point me in the right direction it would help a lot.

DaoC is supposed to support DX9 so why is it only an issue with SI lands not Hibernia then ?

 

[sebula]

Ive gone back to a previous version of drivers for the gfx card and still no joy.
This is getting beyond the point now
i read u cant uninstall dx9 so anyinfo on this would be appreciated.

 

[sieben_dapoet]

u could try upgrading to dx9.0a, other than that you would have to rebuild pc and use dx8.1.. sorry but you can't 'go back' in dx versions without using a 'restore' !

 

[Deadmanwalking]

U cant rollback direct 9 without a windows reinstall..

Anyway his card is a direct x 9 card so thats not it. Try different Dets.

What possesed u to buy an FX?

ps: A 2700 is 2.16 ghz

 

[sebula]

I was given it i didnt buy it, anyways if the game is DX 9 compliant and so is the card then why do i only have trouble in SI not the normal lands. it must be a game issue rather than drivers.
I hope Kemor Reads this and passes it on ASAP as if i cant play in SI due to a game issue im sure others will be annoyed as well.

 

[old.moriath]

nah 99% of the time its driver tbh

I read that there is a known issue with DirectX 9.0 and MMPORGS.

Download 9.0a which is supposed to fix it ?
