Trucolor and uncompressed textures on Nvidia cards

[Abradox]

Mafia crashes when load Freeride or some mission, with trucolor and uncompressed textures in setup, with texture mod.
Problem on Nvidia graphic cards.

It's works fine when trucolor is off and textures are compressed, but quality of textures is bad.

Texture mod? You might be exceeding the memory the game can address or your card has. This amount can vary depending on your system and directx version.

That mod might be too aggressive to work on various computers if it comes close to the limits of what LS3D addresses or somehow links video memory to game stability.

This huge texture pack work fine on AMD graphic cards, but crashes on Nvidia graphic cards. Other components are the same.

AMD drivers somehow allow to use more video memory.

silent_gxg using these drivers (http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2.html) with Nvidia graphic card and Game work fine, like on AMD card.

I used it too, but Mafia still crashes at loading. May be i did something wrong...

Who knows? Could be that wrapper has a bug. Could be that the limits on two cards of equal memory, one Nvidia, one AMD are different like you said.

The main thing is (assuming there isn't some other odd driver related problem since you seem to be tweaking) that the limits are exceeded with the Nvidia card. The texture pack is to blame as much as anything else.

This topic belongs in MAFIA mod help.
