Hi, I went and picked up a copy of FC2 special edition (has a great "crate" like box and bunch of extras) and instaled it. It told me I have to update my drivers to the latest ones. I went in game to try it first, cranked up the settings to ultra high and started playin. It ran pretty good. Then I went and changed the DX version from 9 to 10 (it said DX version will only change after I restart the game) so I quit, went and d/l-ed the latest beta driver (180.43). Nvidia said this is a special optimization for FC2.

Then when I started up the game, the Ubisoft cutscene and the DUNIA video was laggin like hell. took like 3 mins to get to the menu. Game couldn't load. I got pretty frustrated after restarting game then pc a couple times, so I completly re-instaled. Worked fine until I changed to DX 10 and restarted game. Again, lagging video.

I'm running a Core 2 Quad Q 6600 @ 3.2 stable, 2x Nvidia 8800GT 512mb in SLI, Vista 32-bit. The rest of my config in my signature (look below)

Crysis and Warhead + lots of other games run gr8 in DX 10

Do 2 things. First try this:

1. Go to Control Panel
2. Uninstall a Program
3. On the left-hand side, Turn Windows features on or off
4. Uncheck Tablet PC Optional Components

It has helped a few ppl, don't ask why. Second turn of AA and see if that helps. A friend turned off AA and it started running smoothly in DX10.

DX10 can't catch a break...

I've been keeping an eye of the FC2 forums, a lot of people are having issues with DX10. I'll let you know if I hear anything...

Tell ya what if theres any game that needed serious work right out of the box its this one. I thought SPORE was bad but this one takes the cake. Im running a q6600 and two 9800 gx2's quad sli. Ok where to begin. I started the game with dx 9 and played for about 30 minutes then crash to desktop with no error. Ohh it gets better!!!!!! then i enabled dx10 and restarted the game like the message says to. Well wouldnt you kknow it i had no internet now. I had all of sudden no connectivity but the other computers in the house did. Hmmmm started getting frustrated by now so i went ahead and loaded the game with the dx 10 switch and now i had no sound. the game loaded but couldnt hear a thing. Got really frustrated and switched back to dx 9 and restarted game. WOW my internet came back and when i cranked the game back up i had sound again. Ok so now im playing and i get to the church to get my meds and want to take a bus to another location on map and in the middle of loading TADA crash to desktop and the game saved during that bus ride. Well now i go back into game and load that saved game up and of course the game loads the first two pre screens but the third loads extreamly slow and when it finally came around 7 minutes later the game was running like it was doing .000001 FPS. I too me 2 minutes just to do a complete 360 in the game. I gave up and almost sent the disc inflight out my computer room window. Heres my build to see if anyone has same problem with same equipment.

WHAT? I saw your video, my Nvidia is better! Why? It's the same! Mmm, mine is long about 50 cm, how about yours? And mine has the Yoda logo (yes i know he's not Yoda, but he's really similar) and it's green. Donno wtf. How many Mb of Ram has? Mine 1 Gb, may is that the difference.

I'm running Far Cry 2 on Ultra graphics with DX10 on my ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 and AMD Phenom 9600 2.3GHz Quad Processor (both slightly overclocked) and It hasn't given me a single problem (besides the ocassional split second lag) it actually runs better for me on DX10 then on DX9...

i have a problem but its not like any ive heard yet so here goes... ill just be playing and ill crash to bsd-nv4_dsp.dll ... all of my drivers are current so im lost... runs awesome for the time it does though on mostly ultra/high settings(dx9) also is frapps a good fps counter program? running 2 9800gt superclocked evga's, 2gbocz pc6400 ram, 4600+...

Thanks SOOOOO much that worked like a charm for me!!!
