Title: BSOD and graphics problems
Post by: Even92LN on February 26, 2012, 07:25:23 am

Hi!
I have some problems with Anteworld. Firs of all, I get bluescreen everytime I try it. It happens very random, sometimes I can play for several minutes, and other times only a few seconds. Tho it looks like it crashes a little quicker when I have loaded a vehicle. I have installed the latest drivers for my nVidia GTX 285 (295.51), but still no luck. Here's a picture of the bluescreen:

Besides that, I also have som graphical issues. For example, the propeller on the aircraft is just a black square. And as you can see by the picture, the cockpit is also very dark. Fogs have been turned off:

Here are my specs:
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
- Intel i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz (was originally clocked to 3.7, but clocked it back to see if that helped)
- Nvidia GTX 285 1 GB

Except from that, the game is running quite smooth!

Please attach eng.log from your session (it's located in the data directory that you've picked when installing, default your home dir \ Outerra).
You could also try earlier Nvidia drivers, there seem to be some problems with 295.xx line of drivers and 2xx line of cards.

These BSODs in nvlddmkm.dll may be a hardware issue. See here:

Hi, me again.

I just bought the GTX 460ti and the game is running very smooth now. I think my previous card had some cooling issues, as it helped, for a few minutes minutes, to turn up the fan speed.

Thanks for your replies,
Even
