Display Drivers Failure Crash

I swear, I only show up when I've got bad news. >.>

So, here's the deal. When playing Twilight of the Arnor, which is awesome by the way, I'll randomly get an error message that says this in general:

"The nv4_disp Display Driver has stopped functioning normally. Restart windows to return to normal screen settings and and send an error report to Microsoft."

So, I responded naturally. Update my driver and send an error report.

Then the error reporting had...well....an error, and thus failed. But the driver update worked. So I went back to playing and the same thing happened four more times, the error report failing each go, with the length of play-time inbetween being inconsistent. I even uninstalled Impulse on the off-chance that it's causing it. But I was really just trying to deny the inevitable truth that it seems only when playing TotA does this occur.

If it's just my computer it picked a hell of a time to do this, right when I get Twilight of the Arnor. My first digital-download only game, too.

So, here are my specs. Massively upgraded since the last time I posted here...

OS: Windows XP Home Edition SP3
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz w/4 MB L2 Cache
Memory: 2 GB DDR2 533 MHz
Hard Drives: 2 160 GB SATA Drives on a RAID Array
Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT w/ 512 MB VRAM

I highly doubt it's my monitor, but it's an Acer X198W+

Also, here is the list of events right up to the crash:

1. Screen Freezes
2. Keyboard Freezes, but Mouse works
3. Display Drivers die

I'm also using the High Resolution Mod by LogicSequence

You may have a bad video card.

Which ONLY does this when playing TotA? Really?

My brother just finished a 3 hour spree on Crysis, and I finished up a Nuclear War in Civ 4 BtS last night, so...

Yeah, I'm not thinking it's the video card. I've had zero issues when not playing TotA, hence why I asked here.

Current Display Mode: 1680 x 1050 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Monitor Name: Plug and Play Monitor
Monitor Max Resolution: 1600,1200
Driver Name: nv4_disp.dll

Look at the resolution 'differences' above... i think, that's where things get to conflict enough to cause your crash.

It may also be something else but i think running this setup directly into a Windowed mode might help diagnose a few more details.

*Looks at Monitor Box*

Optimal Resolution: 1680 X 1050

I'll try it, but again. It's ONLY TotA that does this. No other game. Not Oblivion, not Crysis, not Civ 4, not SPORE, not Medieval II, nothing.

It still doesn't seem to add up.

Still, it couldn't hurt to install the correct monitor driver.

Successfully updated karma reason!

There are no drivers for the X193W+. It's plug and play.

I also tried playing the game in 1600 X 1200, and everything is kinda blurry and stretched. Monitor doesn't like that resolution apparently.

Gah! I want to play TotA! >.>

Should I just go directly to Stardock Tech Support?

Successfully updated karma reason!

ALL monitors are plug&play until hardware manufacturers provide a specific driver for THEIR items to anyone.

But, i guess your problem is beyond proper configuration steps.

See, if a device is best at 1600x1200 - it is certainly 'flawed up' if your game settings are set 1680x1050. Dunno if the NVidia driver could crash because of that, since it could be another bad vdm call from inappropriate driver version. Wrong memory settings. Gee, even the GPU clocking for that matter.

Have you simply tried at 1024x768, both for desktop and in windowed mode rather than fullscreen? That is, WITHIN the GC2 video options ---and--- on a OS interface that corresponds?

There are no drivers for the X193W+. It's plug and play.

There are Vista drivers, but good ol' Acer does not provide XP drivers - even though XP's generic PNP driver lacks 1680x1050 support. So, not exactly 'plug-n-play'.

Perhaps you should bring this issue up with Acer?

Why on Earth would I bring it up with Acer when it ONLY HAPPENS WITH TWILIGHT?

Even Dark Avatar and Dread Lords work, just NOT TWILIGHT. I've double checked everything, and everything is setup properly.

I shall attempt running it in 1024 X 768 and post the results here.

The High Resolution Graphics Mod (HRG Mod) is an amateur endeavour with no relations to any of the instances mentioned below.

you are using a high resolution mod by LogicSequence and LogicTEK Studios Inc I would contact them about your problem. also if you look at your report you will notice that you ran out of memory when it tried to switch pages

Any discrepencies between Desktop & Gameplay UI size could indeed cause the DirectX 'infrastructure' to collapse as seen in the debug.err last entries above (which i thought was clear enough to us all without having to mention it).

But i'd have to agree with ogremech, it may also be a memory clug originating from huge demands by the HRG assets.

Hmmm...makes sense to me. I had considered trying it, but didn't think it was that big of a deal since I use the DA version of that Mod as well.

What kind of memory is it running out of exactly? Maybe I can increase it.

Had exactly the same issue for the past 8 weeks - would get deep into a game and have it crash with the same error either during the game or on loading a saved game.

The only way to successfully fix it after a crash was to completely uninstall Gal Civ II and reinstall the Nvidia display driver follwed by Galciv .. always from the installation cd first.

Finally resolved this 2 weeks ago - go to control panel > display properties > settings > advanced button > troubleshoot tab and uncheck the 'Enable write combining' box at the bottom

Since then I have completed 3 large maps and currently playing a huge map, plus all videos now play smoothly

Well, for me removing the Mod worked. I lost two games in a row, but at least I got to play.

Terrans, Torians, apparently I'm not having much luck with the T's. >.>

I'm having a similar problem. In my case sometimes graphics would just brake down (text and mouse cursor get blury) and game becomes essentialy unplayable. I resolved this by alttabbing to desktop and returing to game again. Other times game just freezes - keyboard and mouse stop responding. The only way I could resolve this is by reseting my computer manualy.

I'll try to disable Write-combining. It might just work. I looked on Wikipedia and read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write-combining.

@SerakX

When I saw you were using high definition mod that was the first thing i suspected. But it seems you resolved your problems. You could still try the mod and disable Write-combining. Anyway, happy gaming.
