New NVIDIA drivers
-
errr last ones are 331.58 maybe the keyb deamon did a trick…
It is the first time that a driver update is not working at all for me. When I launch BMS it freezes on the UI screen. I can’t see the cursor, I can’t selct anything and I can’t even ALT+TAB to the desktop.
It happened already with the 331.40 beta, but I was hoping that it would be fixed in the WHQL release.
For me it is a MUST to roll back to 327.23, which are the latest working drivers on my rig.
Other games like DCS or ArmaIII run fine with 331.58, but BMS is a NO GO.
Too bad, I hope they fix it woth the next release.

I’m using a 560ti, and any driver after 314.22 causes random freezes for me even when not in games. I sometimes try new drivers as they come out but so far it hasn’t been resolved. I tried the latest 331.58 and got the same thing. Apparently It’s a problem many people are having:

So I’m back to 314.22. -

My 2 cents: maybe the latest nvidia drivers are optimized for W8.1 and without it, it is useless to update (I wouldn’t have personally with a 2 GTX670 in SLI). With W8.1 the beta 331.40 were ok (still some stutters with IT and new Balkans as it was the case with W8 and the latest drivers I used 320.49)
Edit I am not sure we can expect anything for the users of series 6 and 7. From the release notes:
“GeForce 6-series and GeForce 7-series GPUs have moved to legacy support with the GeForce Release 304 drivers. These products are no longer supported beginning with the GeForce Release 310 drivers.” -

yeap 6xxx & 7xxx series are long gone…

By the way 331.58 with W8.1 are not working for me while beta 331.40 are.
Issue is reported. I reported in the past the stuttering issue but it is better now (except for new Balkans and IT but still well playable (I can consider it theater specific)). Anyway they don’t care as I didn’t receive any answer. They probably consider that BMS 4.32 is not a game/sim they should support….

same problem here with 331.58 using a 650 TI gone back to 306.97 now still get freezes in Balkans v3 over flot though.

Yes I have. 331.58 same as all others after 306.97 as far as BMS is concerned. Stutters with MFD extraction.
Running a GTX770 with 327.23 on Win7-64…
cannot run 306.97 as its not supported on my video card.
Im noticing stutters with MFDE also.
Worse, in FS mode the loading bar doesnt show most of the time and then MFDE wont work.
If I run in WIN mode, then the loading bar runs every time and so does MFDE.
Problem with running in WIN mode is the frame rate is 5-10% loss compared to FS mode. -
No problem at all here to run a GTX 780 with 331.58 driver on Win7-64bit (no stutter) I’m not using MFD extraction.

I’ve got GTX770 with 331.58 driver and I’ve got stuttering without MDF extractor. I’ve tried all driver and I have stuttering as well.

BBThat’s why. Mine runs fine with the MFD switch off.

Try turning off focus shadows.

in window mode single monitor I see them perform guite well. No stutters or problems. simple tests as done in my modding win setup.

Personally i settled with 306.97, ( i have a 550ti ). It’s an old card anyway so i doubt newer drivers would bring any benefit. Next card will likely be an ATI though, can’t afford to pay 300$ and get stutters The new R9 280x look like a good deal, anyone running one of those ?

Guys, I’ve only just remembered this topic and fell across it just now.
I posted a little while ago elsewhere about this and I hope it is of use…
"…_Slightly off topic as this concerns the Battle for Balkans AND the Israeli 0.97 theatres, but some of you will have read of my graphics woes.
Well I hope I’ve cracked it.
Firstly I reverted to the 306.97 drivers…no change in all the new theatres. Stutter, stutter, stutter, with fps around 15. Pants I hear you say. So I thought, how about getting rid of the MFD extraction and see what happens. Instant improvement. FPS to 60. But I did miss my MFD extraction. In fact it was quite a surprise just HOW MUCH I missed them.
Anyway, through the gap in my Thrustmaster MFD I can see my Windows Desktop. No biggy there. Then the background changed and the frame rate dropped through the floor!
I backed out, turned off the Windows Aero system and set it to Windows Basic.
I fired up BMS again, but this time with the MFD extractor ON and Hey Presto, 60fps…"_
I hope this is of use to someone.

can you recommend driver for the 760GTX without MFDE? I get shutters at simple TE at Israeli theater while putting my head down at ramp start and it drives me crazy. I tried many drivers but it doesn’t change. I also tried to turn off all the options in the nVidia CP without success. I also turned focus shadows off.
I hope I can solve this thing
