Nvidia 265.90 M11xR2 - Community Built Drivers (Punkbuster Fix?)

Punkbuster for the most part seems to be fixed but people are reporting various issues with some games including some not working. I have to assume Nvidia is delaying them to fix these issues.

 

I played Battlefield Vietnam last night for hours on these drivers without getting kicked once.

Of course, once I was finally able to play and get around PB, I was reminded how many people still use hacks in the game, and how much of a joke PB really is

 

^ Downloading BFBC2 as we speak (got it through sale), and I'm saddened to hear that, coming from PS3. When will these hackers and pirates realise they are destroying PC gaming with their own two hands?

 

@THX
Well it's good to hear the drivers work with that game.

 

Please help,
I tried running GTA 4 with this new driver.
LOL
my wall and everything was gone!
i restarted and everything.
Seems like this driver isn't compatiable with gta4!

Someone please tell me i'm not alone!

 

you can count me in on that too. I was soo not happy with my purchase before. Now I love this machine!

I would love to donate, but at the least a big thank you!!!

 

This driver causes the webcam on my M11x to not work

 

Lost my NVidia control panel and I have an FPS drop in SC2 and various games, going back to 260.99

 

Nvidia pushed the driver release to January. F*ck it, I have to reinstall Nautis's driver again.

 

hi !
I installed the drivers and it all went well until I saw my nvidia control panel.
I only have the physx option ?! what should I do ?

 

i just noticed it is the same thing for me too

 

i posted a week ago or longer with the same problem as you

 

try restarting work for me

 

I got this problem after doing a clean install of the 265... drivers.. I solved it by first installing the latest official 260.99 from nvidia site, with clean install (checkbox in the custom install choice) then just doing an express install with 265. community, and everything is happy now.. Hope this helps

 

Anyone still playing FFXIV and using these drivers? I updated yesterday mainly because I started to play FFXI again but FFXIV is crashing now.

 

i think i'll try that and see how it all turns out thanks

 

Battlefield Bad Company 2 works great for me now -- LAN is still on! Thanks!

No issues to report as of yet.

 

Couple of things I noticed with these drivers:
Laptop getting really hot during games, seemingly hotter than usual but can't provide figures.

Colour enhancement settings not being reapplied when going from desktop to game to dekstop.

System hanging occasionally.

Other thank that performance was great in games.

 

Hi guys sorry newbie here,


Tried to install but i receive an error as below:

1. Component=HDAudio Driver Version=1.1.13.0 Status=Not Installed
2. Component=Graphics Driver Version=265.90 Status=Not Installed
3. Component=3D Vision Driver Version=265.90 Status=Not Installed



If i need to install all of the above before installing this can someone give me a link? Im clueless on which one should i install as i couldnt find any of this at nvidia site.

Thanks in advance! ^^

 

i doubt that i'm completely correct, but i think one way you may be able to fix this is by just uninstalling your current video driver for the 335m, so that it has the VGA compatible thing, then run a driver sweeper to make sure that you've for sure uninstalled everything associated with the drivers, then do a fresh install (after restarting) of this driver and check if it works. Sometimes errors pop up when you are trying to override another driver. but that's just me. hope i helped at all xD

 

just tried today, didn't work.

 

Will these drivers work on the M11x R1?

 

Nope it didnt work... sigh quite disapointed this is happening to me.. anyone with similar problem able to solve this?

 

you have an alternative driver to try from here if you want PB fix

http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-m11x/544419-nvidia-266-44-modded-drivers-r2.html

 

yup tried that but still d same error appears~ help!

 

sorry i cant possibly go thru the entire post to see whats your exact problem. The only last screenshot I see is you show that it shows component not installed for 265.90.

Ok For my set of drivers I already strip out the 3DVision and Nvidia Audio drivers since they are not relevant to M11xR2. So installation should only comes with the core driver components and physx. Few questions I need to ask.

1. Are you using R1 or R2? Could you post the specs of your system?
2. Did you ever use DriverSweep?
3. Are you able to install the last WHQL drivers from Nvidia 260.99?
4. Are you able to install 257.30 from Dell site?

 

Thanks for your time dude! Here is my answers:

1. Im using R2 and here is my specs:

Intel Core i5 1.07GHz
Nvidia Geforce 335m
4mb Ram

2. Yup i've uninstall nvidia driver thru windows uninstaller then i use driver sweeper. Then i tried to install Nautis version and it still detect the same error. I install back 260.99 and tried to install Nautis but still the same error happens.

3. Yup i am

4. I havent tried doing that yet. Is it necessary?

 

the reason why i asked point number 4 is because i want to see if you can install every other different type of drivers that are being release. since they share the same hardware id, it really makes no sense the installation does not go thru. hardware id is also one of the string that is added in an unsupported driver to allow the driver to support our hardware and thats the way a driver is being mod to work.

i suppose you are with 260.99 atm. are you able to use my 266.44 release and try installing then use custom install option rather than express option and see if that works? no need to use driver sweep since you are updating and not downgrading.

i also suspect that there is missing file after you extract them althou it may not make sense. When there is missing file there will also be the screen you see during the installation showing not installed. you may want to clear your internet cache and redownload the drivers again as well. lastly make sure you are really running the setup.exe from the correct folder that you extract to. in the worst scenario you can try right click on the setup.exe and try run as administrator if that option is available to you.

 

I've dl 258 from dell site but still cnt upgrade to ur 266.44. Let me just show u d screenshot of d files i've dl frm ur version including the error:





Rly appreciate ur help mate! ^^

 

Greetings,
This is a follow up on what seemed like a bug for me. It looked like Optimus didn't work and my Nvidia GPU was overheating when not in use.

After a couple of tests, it seems like Orbmu2k GPU Observer is the cause of this strange bug. With this widget closed, the GPU acts normally. So a word of advice:

DO NOT USE Orbmu2k GPU Observer

 

One quick question. Did the error pop up the moment you run the setup or during the installation?

 

Yup it immediately pop up the moment i run the setup. Didnt have any option for me to do anything accept closing it.

 

I have a similar issue. The driver has worked wonders on my punkbuster issue with BFBC2, but now I get funny readings on my GPU gadget. I've tried running "Throttlestop" without luck, and using Driver Sweeper to complete a fresh install. But I still have GPU Load sitting at 281% and VPU load at 53%when nothing is using it.

When I run NVIDIA Inspector by Orbmu2k they values drop back to 0%...

Adny ideas if this is still safe to run? My average temp when the computer is just sitting idle is 51 degrees C.

This aside, how awesome are you guys!!!! Seriously! Thanks

 

. sorry no luck for you..

Did you notice if the settings were there on the Official WHQL Drivers before you installed the community drivers?

I cant find in now, but somewhere in here was a thread that someone posted something about finding that option that is missing by starting up an .exe in the nvidia folder, but now that I cant find the post..so not sure what the original issue was that it was fixing.

maybe try looking in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client and start that .exe up, it brought up my control pannel at least.

 

this is the finding from another owner. you may want to avoid using the gadget

 

that really sound exactly like missing or incompatible system file within the install package. normally only someone who is modding a driver like myself should run into such problem at times where we need to figure out the root cause of the exact file that is causing the problem to the installation. however the package you downloaded is suppose to be already a working driver after mod. its weird that this error can occur on you.

can you please try the following steps and see how it turns out?

1. run driversweep on your system to remove all Nvidia components and make sure you restart if being prompt to do so everytime.

2. once driversweep has been completed your Nvidia driver should also have been uninstalled and now your GT335M would be in a no driver state according to device manager.

3. delete any Nvidia folder you may find on your C drive root directory (normally if you use official drivers you should have a c:\nvidia)

4. check both c:\program files and c:\program files(x86) then find and delete all Nvidia folders.

5. Reboot your machine once all these are done then install the modded driver.

 

Done all of this but still d same error occurs. The funny thing is i can install drivers 257 from dell site and 260.99 from nvidia site but d rest cnt. Rly donno wats wrong nw. Its as if my graphic card refuse to recognize d other drivers as its driver.

 

I've still been enjoying BFBC2 with no problems so thanks again; but, I did notice some problems with CS 1.5.

When there were lots of frags going off, I would lag a good amount. The game is so stinking old that I don't really care because it was played at a fun LAN anyway but it was annoying when it caused me to die, ha... Just thought I would throw that out there.

 

When playing COD4, PB kicks me for "Unsupported Driver."

COD4 is the only game that does this.

 

Sorry peeps just got back from 12 day vacation. Linked Kopichas 266.44 thread on first post.

 

could you post your nvidia hardware id? you can find that under your device manager. let me know if you dont know how to do that

 

Hey Thanks, I totally missed that one... The gadget is gone.

 

i believe this is what you need:



if wrong then please do let me know specificly how to get the info ^^

 

Official nVidia Verde Beta 266.35 drivers are out

NVIDIA DRIVERS 266.35 BETA

 

I am going to start testing them now...

 

BFBC2 = beautiful.

CoD4/5 = still get kicked with same errors.

 

cant run the driver :/?

 

retry download. Based on that icon, it looks like the file got corrupted

 

No browser loyalty going on there.

 

hmm. i dunno. i don't think it will help me though
