Use SS2 Mod Manager next time.

What an irrelevant suggestion.

Try Forceware v163.75. If you really need the Crysis optimisations then try Xtreme-G v163.76.

i'm done with crysis, its pretty much a one time game, unlike ss2.

i'll try a few older driver sets i guess, 169's are out of the question because of AA issues, xcept for 169.13.

I do get the same pink menu like the person from the thread that Kolya mentioned, and the game crashes when going back from options into main menu, but the game itself works without issue, with AA/AF at its highest, 1600x1200.

Will report back if other driver sets allow SHTUP to work.

yeah and modmanager suggestion was pretty useless seeing that manual mod-ready is the same ;)

Complete guess, but I remember issues with nvidia driver/card combos related to textures where one side or both wasn't 2^x in length.

All the SS2 textures are - and need to be - 2^x. It won't display any that are not.

SS2 would crash for me also when loading. Pulled my hair out for a while, was due to video drivers. I ended up using 158.19XP drivers and worked fine with my 8800GTX and patched SS2 with beta6 Rebirth texture pack.

Sry for the necro post but i think its relevant.

with the 174.53 drivers and the latest ddfix, i am able to use SHTUP textures beta 6( finally :D I love the new blood), without the fix the game still crashes when loading up custom textures.:confused: so ddfix is a must.

get the drivers here

and moded inf that includes all nvidia series 6,7,8 cards here(just place it in the folder where the drivers extract before installing and overwrite)

That's another thing to check out when I get a new card / PC.
