Weird lighting in Half-Life 2: Episode 2 with 169.04 M4's, including no HDR when it is enabled in the options. First chapter plays like it is night time.

Sager 5760
Geforce Go 7900 GTX (575/700)

Drivers installed properly.

Hm, I have absolutely no problem with HL2:E2 on my laptop. I would try downloading and installing the latest DirectX binaries. Both DX10 AND DX9 if you have Vista, and just DX9 if you have XP.

Hmm, very strange. I'll try downloading and reinstalling the latest DX9 and see if it changes anything. I'd also like to mention that I've used 16x.xx drivers before and had HDR in EP2, but the performance wasn't there so I reverted.

These work great on my laptop. On slightly older games such as BF2, gameplay was unchanged. But Bioshock runs much better. Though my FPS were fine before, everything is 10x smoother. Fixed a problem i didn't know i had. Thanks Mobile Force!

EDIT: For the record, i upgraded from the 94.20 Mobile Force Drivers

The download link is so ..DEAD!! can you guys reup it??

Yeah, you're right... Unfortunately, I'm probably not going to be putting them back up due to the imminent release of MobileForce 169.09. I'll also be taking down 169.01 too, as, unfortunately, MediaFire doesn't want to host all of those files. Besides, 169.09 is looking to be a better driver anyways.

I'll be looking for to the new driver, Tony. Keep up the good work.

Hi once again the file its currently unavalaiable in the search of the best driver to my laptop hope you can upload this file again im using the 169.09 and works great but i wnat to try this one.

once again thanks a lot!

I dunno if I hosted it at a good place or not, i've never uploaded anything before. I just typed in file host on google. But I figured something is better than nothing. I love these drivers so I figured i'd try to help distribute them.

Thank you, Thank You, Thank you!!!!

After I installed NBF MobileForce XP 169.04 M4 - TWEAKED Version. I could choose from all resolution, but I only have one (60 Hertz) option of Screen refresh rate on any resolution.
The driver I used before I could go from 60 Hertz and up 120 Hertz.Can someone help me?

Well, if you're using your laptop's built-in LCD screen, then there's nothing to worry about at all. The only thing you would lose is the max FPS in games with VSync ENABLED would be lower (i.e. if your refresh rate is at 60Hz, the max FPS you can get with VSync Enabled is 60FPS, and if your refresh rate is at 120Hz, the max FPS you can get is 120FPS with VSync Enabled). With VSync disabled, there will be ZERO effect at all.

If you're referring to an external CRT monitor, then there's more to it. Unfortunately, without knowing more, like what driver version you were using before upgrading to 169.04, whether or not you did a clean install with Driver Cleaner and CCleaner, and if you do indeed have an external CRT monitor, I can't accurately diagnose your problem.

Thanks for the reply.

I have Gateway 685-E
T7400 Duo Core 2 - 2.16Mhz
2Gig Ram
Nvidia 7900 GS 256Meg
17" LCD

I had the nvidia driver came with Windows XP SP2. With SP2 drivers I have all the resolution and all the refresh rate.

Later I was trying to install the following drivers. And none of them had success:

ForceWare X 169.09 Windows XP2K 32bit
XTreme-G 97.92
XTreme-G 163.76 XP 32bit
XTreme-G 169.04 XP 32bit

All of the above wouldnt let me install and came up with this messege.
"The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware"

Except this one I had half way success I think. Had all kind of resoultion and refresh rate. But had a small glitch, everytime I reset the laptop it will put me back to 1600*1024 (max resolution). And when I go to videos properties it says something Version Mismatch.

XTreme-G Mobile 162.62 XP 32bit

Is the 169.04 M4 still available?

MediaFire links back up. Sorry for the delay in getting things re-sorted.
