New ICD is crap !

[Korben]

The new ICD included in the new BETA drivers (6.01) are not working very well.

At least at my system. e.g. Quake 3 : considering quality the driver is terrible. Problems with texturing, lights and so on are very disturbing.

Speed is also much slower compared to BETA 6.00...

Has anyone had the same experience ?

Are you running at 16 or 32 bit Z-Buffer in the advanced PD options?

My guess is that you are using 32bit-Z. Try 16. I saw and reported some problems with the ICD in those drivers....

[Korben]

No, i'm using 16-Bit. Is there any way to use the old ICD and the new drivers ? The file g400icd.dl_ is packed in some way so you can't just copy it into the System-Folder.

How do you know that you are running with a 16 bit Zbuffer? THE only way to know is to goto display properties/advanced/options/ and make sure that enable 32bit Z Buffer is NOT checked.

Yes, and this is how i know it..

Open the file with winzip. Then put the ucompressed file in your game directory.

Thanx, i think this will satisfy the master...

You can try the new Tech Support tweak util's Optimize for Accuracy setting on the latest beta to see if that helps. Of course, that will probably slow down the game as well.
