    Farming Brute

    POST-ACTION

    I've been working on a farming brute, and I think this is pretty decent. I picked up Rise of the Phoenix simply due to how often I die, but as I get better, I'll need it less and less, so when that happens, I'll swap it for Fiery Embrace. Constructive criticism is appreciated.

    Help with SS/fire

    Which drivers are you running? It seems that at this time, different drivers are required to run different NVidia cards. For instance, I'm running the Win 7 pre-release drivers downloaded through Windows Update without any issues. Some others though have had to use some of the Vista drivers. Also, are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows? Was it a clean install, or an upgrade from Vista?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The drivers are the ones that came with the download. It's the 64-bit version, and it was a brand new hard drive I installed it on. I tried searching for Windows update drivers, but I haven't found anything.

    I have Windows 7, and I'm having problems I never had with XP. As I'm moving around ingame, colors will frequently flicker between the proper color and another color. For example, the pants one of my characters is wearing are dark red, but they will flicker to a light pink. This happens mostly to building colors. I will also get the entire screen to flicker while moving. This seems to happen more often when I have Sprint or Jet Pack activated, and I'm moving between buildings faster than the normal run speed.

    The biggest problem is that every 10 min or so, the game will crash entirely. This is extremely frustrating, and seems to be random. I went for about an hour last night, and never crashed, while another time, I crashed three times in 10 minutes or so.

    I have Windows 7, an AMD quad-core processor, and a NVIDIA N9600GT video card. Any suggestions would be helpful; if I'm missing information, let me know, but it'll be a few hours before I get home.
