Do you know when the final will be released? I'm not currently playing any of the listed games so is there any reason to try this Beta?<TABLE BGCOLOR=Red><TR><TD><Font-weight="+1"><font COLOR=Black>The world just changed, Sep. 11, 2001</font></Font-weight></TR></TD></TABLE>Comment

No, I am not told when finals will be released.
I didn't even know these betas where being released.
If you are not having problems with the current drivers, there is probably no reason to mess with these...but if you are having issues with certain games, go for it

has anyone else been having problems with these and DVDMax? My G400MAX is doesn't maintain aspect ratio when connected to a TV unless "Detect based on source window" is selected, and PowerDVD will blue screen the system under Windows XP. TV is connected to box right now."And yet, after spending 20+ years trying to evolve the user interface into something better, what's the most powerful improvement Apple was able to make? They finally put a god damned shell back in." -jwz

Hi DGhost
I don't think that was PowerDVD that Blue Screened your system. Two days ago I re-installed an XP system with a G400, but when configuring DVDMax or switching between NTSC and PAL, it caused the system to display a black screen with a blinking cursor on the left top side and then after 10 seconds resulting in an automatic reboot after a Blue Screen.
After going back to the 5.72 drivers all things were okay again. I still have to try it on a G450 system, but I'm now a bit hesitant to try it. So most likely your system is suffering from a video-driver issue.
Nice holidays,

DVDMax Blue Screen
I can confirm the Blue Screen with the new 5.82 Beta Drivers and
DVDMax + PowerDVD in WinXP.
After going back to the 5.72 Drivers everything is working again.
So it's not PwerDVD but the new Beta Driver causing the BlueScreen.

Not a glitch

Sorry to say these drivers didn't work well for me.
Started off with what seemed slightly better fps in Tactical Ops (UT mod) so I start to think hmm these are alright,stable and smooth then all of a sudden my screen locks up completely.
I had to reset the whole pc, so ok being a paitent person I try again this time the screen just goes completely corrupt, complete garbage across the screen. After rebooting my pc I reinstalled the previous drivers 5.72 and all has been ok since then.
Something must be wrong with these beta drivers as they are the first since I bought my G400 MAX that have gone as corrupt as this.
Hope the next set of drivers are good.Comment

In 2D, on a P2B-F, BIOS 10.14, and a G400 Max this works okay, and steady, and sturdy. But that's probably not what most of you want to read
Sorry, listening audio CD's for the moment, while I tractor in a couple of Divx movies on ADSL
I'll test RTCW in a moment. I tested RA2 earlier, but noticed no changes as it's not an OpenGL game
I'll test Operation Flashpoint v1.30 with this new engine though
Any other requests on a system? I am running:
Asus P2B-F
P3-750
512Mb PC-133 running at 100Mhz
G400 Max, Bios 2.1 b35
512Mb virtual memory (set myself)
WinME

Beta driver vertical rolling hum
After installing beta drivers I noticed a slight vertical rolling hum in both monitors (dual head mode). Went back to 5.72.021 driver and all is ok. You can simulate this problem by setting both monitors at different refresh rates.
