Title: 169.21 & 175.16 Nvidia Drivers dont Run GTA:SA for me ??!!
Post by: Prometheus[NL] on May 27, 2008, 12:23:23 am: I had this problem since the last NVIDIA drivers came out (169.21).. I install them amd SA doesnt start ..I also found out gta3 and vice city dont work

a few weeks back new drivers came out(175.16) and today i installed them hoping I could upgrade my drivers AND play Sa with them ..unfortunately NOT

I had to downgrade to my old 163.71 drivers to be able to play (since the games dont start in single player I cant play SA:MP or MTA:SA VC:MP etc etc on the new ones although the client opens)

does anyone know how or what to do ..or does anyone also have the problem ? i did a search and posted on the nvidia forums but up 'till now NO result

I have a Geforce 8800gts (640mb) I can hardly keep playing with a driver over a year old ..sooner or later new games wont run under the old driver..

the graphics may be a bit out of date but the gameplay on those games is still fun and as for the japanese theme with samurai there really isnt any replacement for it that has a turn phase AND an Real time strategy fase :( i love that game and it runs but then you cant click on your units and move them etc :mad:

there are other games like Rome total war but I just like the japanese style so much :(
