Thanks to Leasky i finally have DC ! :) All patched up as well, had a dive in yesterday but was suffering with some graphical problems, the ground, vehicles and buildings kept becoming transparrent. I'm running XP and fully up to date with all the windows updates and thought that remember windows update giving me a new screen driver a month or so ago, so anyone have any suggestions ?

NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti 4200 is the video card I'm using.

Now I just need some time to work out the seating arrangements on some of the vehicles and I'll be sorted (I couldn't seem to find the rocketlaucher seat on the jeep :/

you overclocking your vid card at all? sounds like clipping problems normally associated with over heating.

Could also be a corrupt DX install, tho less likey if your only getting probs in DC

I've got a copy now, and Edd (Elsevier) is getting one at the weekend (since he spent 3 hours playing it yesterday in the middle of the night whilst I was collapsed on the sofa waiting for him to go). Anyway, free on wednesdays and sundays for a clan bash - also at some points on fridays and saturdays.

Don't overclock it, and it's fine in BF1942, on the few maps I played on, but DC seemed to be what was causing the problems. I'm gonna look for the latest (non XP authorised version) and give that a spin and see if it helps.

One of the maps I was playing on had what seemed to be every vehicle at the start point, 2 helicopters, a jet, buggy, a few different tanks, people carrier, large mobile artillery, but I do miss the old thing on Planetside which told you where you had to stand to get in a certain seat. Oh and also can you jump out ofg a helicopter and parachute to the ground safely ?

I seem to remember that one of the more recent nVidia drivers build introduced the sort of problems you're having in DC.

for a 4x00 based card avoid the latest 5x.xx drivers - they're optimised for he DX9 compliant geforce 5xxx cards (not suprisingly).

I'm at work atm and can't remember what version i'm using... hang on, i'll check something....

Ok, consensus seems to be nvdia 44.67 drivers are the best for speed/compatability for the 4200/4600 cards ( http://download.guru3d.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=640 ).

I've heard very good things (and had good results) from the Starstorm version of these drivers (pre optimised for performance - there is a image quality version as well if you have loads of spare horse power and want top image quality).

I'm running DC on a GF4 ti4800 using the latest 53.03 drivers and haven't encountered any problems.

One of my m8s using same card encountered problems like you describe while running some older 4x.xx drivers. check your version?

I was having problems with the latest drivers on a TI 4600. (only with DC though)
Ther is an nvidia update, on the windows update page, you could try that.
Other than that, you have to roll back to the earlier drivers to stop all the glitches.The roll back does make it work but then other games dont like it .

I'll check into the version tonight and see how that goes, but my main problem is the fact I seem to be amazingly crap at it :/

I'll keep practising though and hopefully learn how to fly, how to not die so much and generally have a clue about what's going on :eek: Maybe this is middle age setting in early

Flying in DC takes a bit of getting used to, the Jets are fecking fast. Mark and Kel are the h3l10 p10lt5 0f d3wm.

Wouldn't mind a trip back to teh DC for some l33t F16/tankbuster ownage.
