Daikatana 1.3 has major issues with nVidia driver 344.11

[Teflon1]

When I ran the latest version of 1.3 with 344.11 with a GTX 660Ti, the game never got past a grey screen. I had to close the game via the Task Manager in order to shut it down. Strangely, the console showed that everything was normal. I had to revert to an older driver in order to fix this.

For curiosity's sake, I tested it with 1.2 and had the same problem, but I did manage to get an error message out of it; "RImp_EndFrame() - SwapBuffers() failed!". I"m not sure if it'll help, but what the hell.

This is very likely something on nVidia's end, but I figured I'd give you all a heads-up.

Hmm... Interesting. I need to update my nVidia drivers on my Windows machine to see if this happens with my GT 630 too.

Does this also happen on other patched id Tech2 engines, like KMQuake2, EGL and Quake2Evolved?

The 344.16 WHQL drivers are already out, see if they fix this: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/78216/en-us

Also make sure gl_no_error_check is set to 1.

Ok, just reinstalled 344.11 and told it not to wipe my settings and now both 1.3 and 1.2 work without a hitch. Weird.

I was unable to replicate this with my GT 630 and NVS 5400M using the latest nVidia 344.11 WHQL driver in Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8.1 Pro.

Issue was most likely due to a bad driver install.
