Lost Planet keeps on freezing....

[mi2andrew]

Just played some Lost Planet for the first time and all was well until 10 minutes into the game when the game froze up. My computer runs well for CS:S and CS and HL2 but when I play this game ! It seems like a driver related issue though. Anyone know anything about this? I ran Memtest 86 for 8 hours without problems also and also ran 3dMark06 and it didn't freeze up on me there. Thanks in advance

Any overclocks?
If yes, go back to stock speeds and try another run.

Actually none, but I FOUND THE ANSWER. You have to download the beta drivers from NVIDIA which are not currently available anymore but can be found at http://www.evga.com/8800driver/ It fixes the problem for Lost Planet freezing. Thanks for the reply anyways

Yep. The Lost Planet fixes have been included in every release since the ones you found, OP.
