Gish causes BSOD after about 5 minutes of play

Creeping Death · 11-27-2010, 04:38 PM

I picked up Gish in the Indie pack a few days ago. Every time I play the game I get to about 5 minutes in before it locks up my PC and then blue screens. The error log is showing its caused by a graphics driver, but I have since tried both updating to the latest version and rolling back to previous versions. It also fails to keep any of the progress I made, not even the profile name I create :/

It's a real shame because it seems like a really fun game. Anyone have any ideas?

Specs:

Vista 32 bit
2.1Ghz dual core cpu
4GB ram
Nvidia GT 130m (yes, its a laptop card. But it has had no trouble running anything from original HL to Crysis just fine... Well, except this apparently -.-)

I'm not familiar with Nvidia control panel, but what you need to do is to force the v-sync. Something like "On, unless application specifies" or something like that.

Nope, didn't help :/

I'm going to try rolling back to an older drive and see if that helps at all...

Well rolling back to a mid June driver seems to have fixed my issues with Gish... and now causes issues with newer games -.-

It's going to be FUN switching back and forward
