Blockland making display driver crash.

[MrPickle]

I have updated it, I have contacted Dell and done anything they said to do, but with no success. So I figured  that because it's only Blockland that makes it crash that maybe there's something I could do on the engine or what-not.

Yes, I have Vista. No, I cannot get XP.

Also I don't have an ATI graphics card.

What video card?

Please be more specific about the problem. Like does it play a while and then crash?

[MrPickle]

It does it randomly.

My card's a NVIDIA GeForce 8400m GS

I had a similar problem with my NVIDIA 6800GT on Vista.  I'm almost certain the issue lies with the Windows Update version of the NVIDIA drivers.  If Dell won't help you, you'll need to reinstall Vista.  (You can try uninstalling the particular update through Control Panel -> Programs & Features, but I don't think it shows there and I don't think it'd work anyway.)  I reinstalled Vista when I experienced this issue, and immediately installed the newest driver from the NVIDIA website.  No problems since.

Just get your drivers from nVidia and not Windows Update.

I done that Anti-brown townysing thing and it appears to of fixed the problem O.O

"I did that anti-aliasing thing and it appears to have fixed the problem."

Gee whiz.  Learn how to speak English.

Can you tell me which driver caused this specifically? I have the same problem, and NVidia won't give a sh!t help. (My answer was "Maybe it's your sound acceleration?" WTF. It's loving graphics stuffhead.)

Never update Vista drivers with windows update, it forgets every thing up.

Well, my issue was that Blockland (and other Torque-based games) reported that there was no valid OpenGL device, even though all my other games still played fine.  Uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers (even manually deleting appropriate files) and reinstalling with the latest version from NVIDIA's website still did not correct the problem.  I actually had to reinstall Vista.

What the hell did you do...
