Regular or semi-regular reports on harmful OS Updates?

Post #1by PlutonianEmpire » 15.08.2012, 00:10

As it was mentioned in my thread in Help regarding reduced frame rates, a recent Windows Update may have contributed to a severe decline in performance; so I was wondering, maybe someone could post a list or report that is updated every now and then that lists what updates to what OS may wind up being harmful to Celestia's performance and/or ability to run?

The 301&4 drivers are BUGGY
That might explain why Belle Hades turned red during eclipses in SVN 5213. :p :lol:

I posted in the bug thread that I have the 301 drivers.

Is it possible to roll back to older drivers?

The closest installer I still have in my Downloads folder to 295 is 296.10 . Is that any good?

Granted, it might not fix the reddening, but I'll never know until I try. ;)

Sorry for the bump, but have any of the more recent nVidia updates since the last post in this thread fixed any of the bugs John has been talking about?
