So, who wants to try them first? I would, but I'm at work right now. :p

[cc//Ollie90]

Yeah I installed them this morning, no problems so far :salute:

LOL NO WAY!!!!!!!!! I think I already knew that...

I was referring to the second update, :nerr: there are 2 hotfixes; 938194 and 938979. 938979 gets me an invalid data error. And you think that i'd be so absolutely retarded to not notice the very obvious x86 and x64 at the end of the download links?

And if your comment was correct the FIRST one would give me an error as that is 32bit and I have a 64bit operating system.

Unlucky, try harder next time

Same here.

Found an external link to the 64bit versions. So if you have 64bit Vista and the 2nd one gets that error, use this, it works fine.

I don't know, I've looked for an external link to the 32bit ones aswell but I can't find it anywhere, sorry.

Just download it again, I got the invaild thing as well because the download stopped prematurely

Okay I installed the graphics fixes for 32bit vista.

I then Opened up FEAR and did the performance test 3 times on full graphics.


Without Beta Drivers installed:

Test #1 - Adv. 46 FPS
Test #2 - Adv. 88 FPS
Test #3 - Adv. 83 FPS


With Beta Drivers installed:

Test #1 - Adv. 88 FPS
Test #2 - Adv. 88 FPS
Test #3 - Adv. 93 FPS



Seems a hell of a lot more stable with my FPS with these beta drivers installed. Before I installed them 46 FPS was quite common for my first FEAR test then Adv. 88 After then, but with the new drivers installed it seems to adverage out a lot better.

The estimated time for copying is corrected now. Also, it seems much more stable than before; strangely, BF2142 doesn't seem to crash at the end of the round... hmmm...
