Hi people,
The bug I'm going tell about is very strange and shows itself in ONE game only as I saw.
GeForce2, GeForce4 (Ti, MX), GeForceFX, GeForce6 - it doesn't matter, this bug is present on all these cards. It is absent only if I use detonator version less than 45.23. If 45.23 --- 81.98 the bug is present always.
What is this: when I play Jeoff Crammond's Grand Prix 3 in Windows 98SE, the keyboard freeze occurs at any moment - if I press and keep a key at this moment this key stays "pressed". Any key pressing at the freeze time is vain. ESC key (exit race) doesn't work too. The freeze time can be 1-2 sec, can be 2 and more min. Periods between freezes can be long, can be short. There is no some correlation.
If I install 32.20 or 31.00 detonator then keyboard freezes in GP3 disappear. Unfortunately 3x.xx series are for cards up to GF4.
My cards:
- AGP GeForce 4800 8X
- AGP GeForce 4200 8X
- AGP GeForce 4200 4X
- AGP GeForce 5200 128bit
- AGP GeForce 5900XT 256bit
- AGP GeForce 2 MX200
- PCI Quadro NVS 100 128bit
- PCI GeForce FX5700LE 128bit
- PCI Quadro FX500 128bit
they all are tested, all have this bug with 45.23+ drivers.
My system:
- i865G
- Core 2 Duo
- Windows 98SE
By the way on my another machine this GP3 bug never comes! This machine:
- VIA KT333
- Athlon XP 2500+
- GeForce Ti4200
- Windows 98SE
What do you think guys? Which file in detonator distro can be responsible about it? Can I take one file from 31.00 distro and put it into 45.23 distro before clean installation?
Thank you in advance.
