Graphics driver problem

[ss1234]

I'm trying to play shattered horizon but everytime I join a server the screen goes black and I get an error saying "your graphics drivers had some problem, and they recovered"

So this prompts me to update my drivers, which I do. But upon returning to shattered horizon it runs like shit. I know this because the menu itself was lagging. I've always experienced this. Factory drivers work fine, but newer drivers [B]always[/B] work like shit.

So facepunch, new drivers aren't working and neither are the old ones. What shall I do?

Do you have a DirectX 10 card?

Powersupply related, i got the same problem on my ATI card. It dies too when i play Crysis on high dx10 mode for 10-20 minutes. You simply need a better powersupply.

The one I have is more that enough for my system. Just this dumb Nvidia troubleshoot window keeps coming up for no reason when it clearly is getting enough power.

I can play crysis just fine for as long as I want.

I'm telling you, it's the powersupply. Check on google yourself.

so pretty much that's my only option? I find it ridiculous that it's only happening to this game and this game only.

have you tried to update the drivers? [url]www.nvidia.com[/url]

[ss1234]

yeah I tried updating my drivers to the lastest ones but they work like shit. For example I'd get 5 fps in CS:S when I usually get 200 etc.

there's really no point in fixing this problem with shattered horizon because the sale is over. I don't really feel like spending money on a game right now.

But there still is a problem I'd like to fix. I want to be able to update my graphics card drivers without getting shit performance. It's always been factory drivers>New drivers for me.
