Yeah, disabling Terrain Detail works great for me.
I've been running like that for around 2 monthis now, and no single crash.

Seems to be something wrong with the grass in the OpenGL renderer.

Well, I am new to this game, so new that I just install the game last night, but seems due to this video driver issue, I can't even create a new character.

Seems that I can only wait till this is fix to play the game.

I posted about the major 169.XX Nvidia bug that effects Regnum Online about a month ago on nvnews. You can see that thread here:

I posted a link to a screenshot of Regnum in the first post. I am hoping Nvidia will fix this problem soon.

Right now I am not even that worried about the Nvidia problem. Since the recent Regnum update I can't even get into the game. The launcher comes up, I log in, I enter game, and I am greeted with a black screen. The splash and intro do not show. It will just sit on the black screen with the regnum mouse pointer displayed and movable.

You could try to wait some.
Also, at server downtime this error can occur.

Try once more and make a new thread in this forum if it still ain't working.

It turns out that my latest problem is actually a sound issue as disabling sound has allowed the game to start. So, this is not a graphics issue at all. I look forward to Nvidia resolving the major graphics issue discussed in this thread.

Finally! I believe this problem is solved in the latest NVIDIA-driver 173.08 (which is a BETA).

At least that driver solved all of my problems (just brief testing, nothing extensive yet).

From the changelog:

Fixed OpenGL rendering corruption with textures compressed using the DXT5 compression algorithm.

Yes, the DXT5 compression issue and the Regnum issue are one and the same. The newest beta driver fixes this issue.

woohoo! can't wait to test this when i get home

adict · 05-06-2008, 08:55 PM

Please be carefull. Me and two of my colleagues almost broke their PC an half. The beta driver just messed up everything in the Ubuntu HH (8.04)....Even some Linux gurus couldnt fix it...had to reinstall
