3Dice video problems.

[skiny]

This whole rebooting everytime I want to use the 3Dice software is really getting annoying.

I've been using this video card for over a year. I'm using the drivers that came with it on the CD. The only software that's ever had a problem with is is 3Dice.

Check if your Vid card manufacturer has updated the drivers on their website, that worked for me.

Do people not read and take the advice already given in another thread?

I swear I'm going to quit helping people out with their computer problems if they're not even going to at least TRY the suggestions given. I have the exact same video card, and have experienced the exact same symptoms you have. It's the video drivers. Either upgrade them or downgrade them to a version that 3Dice likes. It's worked for me, and it'll work for you. If you don't want to even try it, then sorry, but quit *)&#$@! about it!

Sorry to be frank, but geeze.

PS: It's not just 3Dice, either. It's NVIDIA's fault when you break it down. I've had this happen with several games where the video was choppy and all that good stuff...and the only thing that fixed it was a different version of the video drivers. Imagine that?

Hmmmm, Win is right- you have purchased a card a year ago and only used the cd it came with.. let me tell you by the time you purchased you graphics card that cd it came with would of been out of date.

Please go to the official site for the graphics card and go to "download drivers" find the card that is yours and install the drivers.
As win said sometimes you need to find the best drivers as some may cause further problems for you but its pretty safe to say you can download the whole lot and wont get any problems.

If it is a nvidia card there driver section is very user friendly.

Here is the link to the nvidia driver download. for example I'am running SLI Geforce ( dual graphics cards) and they are 8800gtx ultra's so I go to product type, Geforce > Product series the 800 series > for vista 32 bit > and of course lanuage is english USA.

Once you do this click on download and install the drivers, then it will prompt you tp turn the system off and on again and BAM!!!- your good to go


We need a techies fee Win


Sorry I forgot to give the link for the driver section on the nvidia site http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

Me again,

On anothr note make sure you have the latest Java and Flash as most casino's require both of these to run.

www.adobe.com and www.java.com is where you want to go and the download links are pretty much on the first page. download these as well and you should be good to go.

My computer is far from low grade and I'm far from computer illiterate. I have upwards of 70 programs on this computer that all work fine ranging from brand new to a decade old. I watch blu-ray movies on my computer. The video I create with 3ds Max never fails. I've never had a game fail.

If upgrading the video drivers might help I'll give it a try but if I can run virtually anything on this computer without a hitch except 3Dice it's kind of unfair to blame my computer.

I have stalled on upgrading my video drivers because of one question. What happens when I upgrade my video drivers and 3Dice works fine but 12 other programs don't? Besides, every other casino software on the market seems to work fine. 3Dice seems to be special.

It isn't going to affect the other programs. Take it or leave it. I have over 16 years experience with computers, so I think I know what I'm talking about. I also do blu-ray, have over 1.5TB storage, 6gb ram, FX-62 AMD DC 64bit cpu, the same 8600GT pciex card, etc....so my machine is definitely not low-end either. I built it myself, as I have done with all of my computers since 1994.

It's NOT blaming your computer, it's the way that 3Dice is coded. As I mentioned above, take it or leave it, but if you want to continue playing at 3Dice, you have to do something about your drivers, plain and simple...if you want to complain to anyone, get on them at 3Dice about it...I'm just offering a solution that will work, and won't affect any other programs. We're only talking about video drivers here, not a huge system overhaul.

Oh, and didn't I mention in the other thread that Enzo is fully aware of this issue (has been for months), but instead of figuring out a perm fix for this to be 100% compliant/compatible with NVIDIA drivers, it's still not "fixed"....

I installed the latest drivers. No change.

See, now we have to go back through all the posts in all the threads and tell everyone not to complain about a particular casino problem here and to "get on the actual casino about it."

This might take a while.

I give up.

I don't know why you created a 2nd thread in the first place over the same exact issue. But anyways if you go read the other thread, you'll see that I mentioned that the newest drivers aren't always the best drivers. I actually had to downgrade mine for it to work, and it didn't affect any other programs/games.

I said that you should complain to 3Dice about it, because they're the ones at fault here, not anyone else.

Have fun figuring it out, I just get tired of trying to help people that aren't appreciative of it.

I wasn't aware that complaining here meant you were blaming someone here.

Sometimes reinstalling drivers does effect other programs. Sometimes it effects your entire system. The fact that you're saying that sometimes upgrading and sometimes downgrading finally finds the drivers that work with this particular program means in itself that some programs only work with some drivers. I have about 6 dozen programs on this computer and all work fine except 3Dice.

I tried the latest drivers and have no idea if they've effected any other programs yet. They didn't change anything with 3Dice. I thank you whole heartedly for your suggestion and very much appreciate it but I'm not going to keep uninstalling and reinstalling every backward version I can find until I find the correct one hoping it doesn't screw something else up.

If some magic version of these drivers does work then maybe 3Dice should be at the very least telling people which one that is and then hopefully someday figure out what the difference is with these drivers and all the others.

By the way. I'm new to the entire forum routine barring a few bulletin boards in the early 90s with my old 2.4kb modem. Creating a second thread was a mistake.
