New Driver Nvidia 347.52

All i did was updating Windows, since it is Microsoft Patch Tuesday

 There was a .NET update I installed last night.  Maybe that is what broke GFE

NVIDIA talks about a fix that should be available in the next few hours.

The whole folder?  The Shaders HLSL folder?

 

No, this is not the one. I really wish that people would provide more accurate information for others that are not aware of this. The correct folder is located here.....

 

User/AppData/Local/Lockheed Martin/Prepar3d v2/Shaders

 

** It is a hidden folder, so you need to go to the Organise Menu, and select Folder and Search Options, then View, and then click on Show hidden files, folders and drives to access it. Just remember to reverse this process when you are done **

  +1 for this. I wonder how many people actually delete the wrong folder, and then are left wondering what went wrong. What I have done, is created a shortcut, on my desktop, pointing to the proper shaders folder. Then, it's just a matter of opening it up, and deleting the contents.

I'll wait then ... thanks for the info.

 

Seems like this driver was rushed out the door for Evolve ... which is apparently a ... drum roll ... wait for it ... wait for it ... a multiplayer shooter ... surprise surprise surprise. 

 

... this is disappointing news ... maybe it's time I cover my bases and get some AMD GPUs and see if the hills are any greener on that side.

 

Working with nVidia does seem rather futile.

 

No cheers, Rob.

Oh wow,  i found my Shaders folder.  I cound never find my appdata/local path manualy without using the Search option.  Ok now i know how to find it.   Thank you Christopher.

I deleted my ShadersHLSL folder last night and was left with no Picture,   i ran Installer again and all was ok.

 You want my R9 290x ? It's sitting in my living room unused.

  AMD are even worse, Rob. Their parts are lower priced for a reason, they're junk. OK, that might sound a little harsh, but the performance has steadily declined since AMD bought out ATI. The gpu department has taken the same road as the cpu department, straight into the ditch.

 

  just my very biased opinion.

LOL Rob was kidding but you knew that

[Jazzfan 57]

  I did, just couldn't resist the temptation.  ;o)  Back to my Q400 trip out of YUL.

 

 Cheers, Jazz

I'm not seeing any different versions (fix) of 347.xx ... so I'll probably hold off on this driver version and stick with 337.88 ... I use ShadowPlay frequently because of it's recording efficiency, stability, and easy of use.

 

Anyway, back to working over my goat...

 

Cheers, Rob.

Apparantly NVIDIA adjusted somethings on their side. Reinstalled GFE 2.2.2 and it now works.

I have working PAPI lights with it

Presumably it's about the money. So, nVidia, how much will it take?

Updated to latest drivers, and upon approach at default TISX in my Q400, PAPI lights working fine, then suddenly they disappeared a quarter mile out. I'll have to retest more tomorrow.
