A heads up for folks having a problem with the Nvidia 258 drivers

My system (Laptop with Nvidia 9800M) was running horribly in game:

*Crashed any time I opened the costume editor window
*Would drop to 3-5 fps for 30 seconds every 4-10 minutes, at random, no matter what graphics setting I had it on.
*80% of the time the game would not close when I exited, and I had to do a kill task.

(The 3rd one just started happening in the last 2 weeks, and the costume crash started maybe a week after GR went live, but the horrible lag started with GR).

ANYWAY.

On the 14th Nvidia released new beta drivers, for 260 and I installed them last night. All problems gone, and the game is running better than it ever has.

I spoke with one other person in channel who had the costume creator crashing and suggested he install the new drivers - he did and it fixed him as well.

[edit: The being unable to close completely issue is still here, but less common ]

Worked well for me too, 90% better, but still some nagging issues!

Yeah, the lock up on quit happens about 90% of the time now, but other than that I'm still golden.

I don't know if this will help you with your problem, Lobster. But I had a similar issue some time ago where I could not turn off the game without doing the 3 finger salute. The game would freeze when I exit and hang.

My problem was the executable file was set to compatibility mode and this was causing the game to hang when I exit game. We fixed the problem by going into properties, then compatibility tab, and unchecked compatibility mode in both the game's shortcut and executable file.

Like I said, I’m not sure if this will help with your problem, but I thought I mention it.

Just checked, not set to compat mode, but thanks for the idea.
