DA 1.61 vista crash

July 3, 2007 11:02:45 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
GalCiv works fine. Dark Avatar however just puts up the screen then exits about 1 second later. No error code. I've also updated my nvidia drivers to the latest version.

Here is the debug.err

Sorry but I don't think you have the latest version of the nvidia drivers. Some were released in February to correct problem with Vista.

You need to have the 101.41 drivers or newer in order to resolve this issue. Unforunately, nVidia doesn't often release updated mobile chipset drivers. You can find modded versions of the desktop GeForce drivers at laptopvideo2go.com that will work on your laptop and fix you right up, though.
