dazbowski Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A good time to remind people to update their graphics drivers, so many people have problems each year because they forget.NVidia GForce released their new Game Ready drivers today. Great shout that, mines updating now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
le_crab Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 That's like saying don't bother getting your car serviced until it breaks down.....madness! Off the Shelf PC If you’re running an off-the-shelf PC or laptop and haven’t reloaded Windows manually, chances are good that most of your drivers are already using the manufacturer’s approved drivers. This includes things like chipset, motherboard, sound card, and the like. There’s also a really good chance that you have some onboard generic video card. Your best bet is to upgrade your video card drivers by heading to the manufacturer’s site, though you could just use the Upgrade driver feature built into Windows and explained below. Again, if everything is working just fine on your PC, you should probably leave your drivers alone. This is just to back up what I've been told and is a link off the suggested driver help link site that was posted on a previous message. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTHerringbone Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I think the beta will defo not be out tonight Seeing as Miles has confirmed it himself, you are correct. Miles Jacobson @milesSI 50m50 minutes ago To save myself any more abuse or questions about it tonight, the beta is definitely not tonight. Still don't know when. But not tonight.

daylight Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Again, if everything is working just fine on your PC, you should probably leave your drivers alone. The worse thing you can do is not to update your graphic card driver, there is a reason that both Nvidia and AMD are continually working on their drivers and release new drivers around 3 or 4 times a year.

le_crab Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 http://www.geforce.co.uk/geforce-experience/download Worth downloading mate. I am not using a GeForce card just an integrated intel hd 2000 card still runs 3d ok but not on the highest settings. In 20 years of playing CM/FM I have never in my life updated a graphics driver unless windows has automatically done it on an update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green&Pink Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Look at the active player's graph. It looks suspiciously like a fair number of SI people are logging in now. More so than we've seen recently in terms of people coming back on at 9/9.30 PM. Is it possible there's final preparations underway for a midnight release?

We shouldn't expect anything until tomorrow proper. I'm betting midnight Thursday night. The beta isn't usually midnight as, like they say, it's released when it's ready. They don't set a day so there's no reason to bring it out at midnight for the sake of it. It's likely to come during the day when everyone least expects it.
