So are these newer than the OGL4 drivers?

Orangey · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:28

These constant driver updates make nvidia look really freaking slow.

I would also like to know if these are different to the OpenGL previews.

Stormar · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:31

ah right sorry i didint see the other post,but also from there twitter,they going to bring out a hotfix for faster load times for bfbc2 as well

RavenXXX2 · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:33

Nothing to be sorry about, this driver update has not been posted on here, appreciate the heads-up.

Orangey · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:33

Hmm, my load times are already pretty fast, striped F3s will do that though.

Here's some good news...

mrbuttocks @CatalystMaker Any chance of a hotfix before the next Catalyst release to address the loading times in BfBC2?

Same, I'm just trying them to see if they're difference to the OpenGL drivers.

Each time, the download seems to start at 20% done.

Great stuff

So this 'b' preview is newer than the WHQL's right?

Azza · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:43

It doesn't happen with the notebook download, desktop 64 bit it does for me. I'm guessing something is wrong with the uploaded installer.

Mr Krugga · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:43

I just got 10.3a few days ago, will wait till WHQL drivers are released.

RavenXXX2 · 26 Mar 2010 at 20:45

thanks everyone for letting my know about the download error with 10.3b - we are correcting it now
