For anyone that hadn't already noticed, I gave up checking until today. I'm 10 days late, I know. But hey :D

They finally released soem drivers that may look hopeful. So for anyone that didn't notice, here the link.

And yes, it's for WinXP!! :D

Not yet, I will when I get back, gota go out for a bit and I wanna install them correctly. And considering my PC can be a right B**** at times, it'll probs take about 15 mins which I don't have right now. lol

Ok, mine appears to be running using the new drivers, couldn't find a way to check, other than a really long way in the nVidia control panel, no obvious place though.

Either way, I tested on de_train and de_dust2 in the locations that we all saw, and the spot that you saw flatline. And the fog has gone. But I'm not sure if it's just me or the game has just gotten so damned dark. > <

Might just be the map, either way, think I'mma turn my gamma up in the nVidia settings. :x

Any good?

EDIT: Btw, I installed mine through device manager after extracting the files from the .exe and I uninstalled my previous drivers too.
