just checked it on my 5770 (Win7-32) and discovered that Soulbringer and Gothic do not work anymore. (Bloodrayne got broken in some 12.x driver) Returned to 11.4 and everything is OK Probably you guys (with shiny new 7000s series) cannot run older drivers, and thus out of luck. Can some nVidia owner check one of those games? -- Andrew Rybenkov

The 7000 series uses different drivers than 5000 series, AMD just bundles them up in the same driver download. However, I doubt much if anything has actually changed in the 5770 driver in 13.4. They put pretty much all their focus on their newer cards. Ross Ridge -- l/ // Ross Ridge -- The Great HTMU [oo][oo] rri...@csclub.uwaterloo.ca -()-/()/ http://www.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/~rridge/ db //

I killed the process and then ran it again and it worked. I suspect it might have been stuck rebuilding its VDFS tables. Also the opening movies don't display, probably because I don't have the necessary codec installed, so when it did run I got blank screen and had to click through to get to the opening menu.
