    hey all - AC:B just came out and uses punkbuster...inevitably after a few minutes, i get kicked, error: multiple direct 3d loaded, blah blah.

    if im not mistaken, this is the same problem seen with other titles using punkbuster such as battlefield BFBC...


    i am running the 260.99 drivers, but which drivers (if any) work with punkbuster...or is there another way around this problem?

    thanks!

    hmmmm, this problem appears to be related to the optimus drivers... so you may need to rollback your drivers to pre optimus until they get it figured out.

    EDIT: actually, it might help me to know what kind of rig your running this game on, there may be another option.

    Last I heard the latest drivers (266.58) have resolved the PB issue. Try those before rolling back.
