Seriously CA a response on drivers

Since ETW only runs on Nvidia drivers 181.22 without missing buildings and trees and i havent found any others that work, would CA please like to let us know what drivers we should use with NTW? the game will be installed in 2 days, so we really need a response and this HAS been asked before! jesus i cant believe i have to ask this.

I can't believe you ask this here and not on the official support forum.

I'm one of those people who laugh at your killer machine because my crap computer runs ETW fine and I don't have driver issues at all

lol daniu, your computer isn't that crap!

@vrgadin
Some discussion on the topic has already been done here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=333152

There's a link in that thread to an Nvidia driver feedback page that could be useful. What is your video card? I can say that my 8800GT has never had any problems with Empire since release. Currently running the 196.21 drivers.

Yawn, who rips on sigs?

and keiichi, your link is to a topic that has no answers hence the new topic. 9800gtx 1 gig card oced 700 mhz, all drivers leave me with missing buildings and trees except 181.22.

You are joking I hope. The technical support forum has always been ignored by CA. At least here you may or may not get an answer.

Quite true. CA posts here more then on their own support forums.

You will be ignored in both areas by CA. At least on here someone in the community may be able to help.

But OP was specifically asking the official position of CA.
Doing this here is like demanding a Big Mac at Burger King.
Also, he was asking about NTW, it'll be hard to get help for that from the community that didn't get it yet.

His chances of getting help here are better than anything "official" by CA.

I believe it's any 9 series and above. I have a GTX280 and i have to keep old drivers to run ETW. I have the same problem you're having, missing textures and laggy performance, usually ending in a CTD. It is a serious issue and i'm hoping it's been addressed in NTW because it's existed for a while now.

Go here and fill out a survey, it's the only way Nvidia will know there's a issue with all their top of the line cards with recent drivers
https://surveys.nvidia.com/index.jsp?pi=ad1c492c9d7488731f70e8d4356ba631

No one is going to come out and just give you an answer, becuase there is none. There's a conflict with CA's code and Nvidia's drivers. One of the two will have to fix it. The only other option will be keeping the 'latest' driver that you know works.

Nvidia & CA have been having driver issues for years with Total War games, it took ages to get the shadow bug working in M2TW so don't expect a quick response or fix.

I would think that with a new release such issues would have been solved. I can not possibly believe that my 9800 will have the same driver issues its had with ETW. Its a new release after all.

ATi 's new drivers and 5000 series cards also have lots of AA problems with ETW
