    ====================

    - Yes, this is STILL a problem in 2011.

    - This is my first computer system with an NVidia card

    - This system came installed with Autumn 2010 drivers and with those I was not able to play Armada.

     

     

    MY SPECS (For reference):

    ====================

    Windows7 64-bit

    Intel i7 Q740 1.73GHz

    4GB RAM

    DirectX11

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M (Notebook)

     

    WHAT THIS WILL DO:

    ====================

    - you will be able to play the game without issue; even cinematic cut scenes will work!

    In my case, I am able to play in any resolution up to 1600x1200 and its gorgeous. There will be a problem with some cutscenes, but I'll list later in this post how to get around the problem.

     

    MY WINDOWS SHORTCUT COMPATIBILITY SETTINGS:

    ====================

    WindowsXP SP3

    Run as administrator

    - settings applied on armada.exe

     

    WARNINGS:

    ====================

    This process involves up[censored] NVIDIA drivers and could have negative effects on your system. Consider this before upgrading and ensure you perform backups and other precautions before following this procedure.

     

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    ====================

    1. Download latest NVidia patch from NVidia. In my case this was Version 275.33.

    2. When installing the patch, I was required to use "Custom" mode, and needed to perform a 'clean install' which wipes current settings. I tried installing without this option and I lost the ability to use my external monitor, so it is necessary.

    3. Follow instructions, including reboot requests...

    4. Play the game!

     

    QUALITY TESTING:

    ====================

    I've only tested into the second mission, but so far it's fairly stable. Occasionally you might get a strange artifact in gameplay but just move a ship slightly and it goes away. Also, the flashes in the loading screen will still be there. Also, going into the second mission, I get a black screen.

     

    OVERCOMING THE BLACK SCREEN:

    ====================

    R4 SDHC1. Press 'space' on your keyboard and wait a moment for gameplay to begin. If you want, begin playing. If you want to see the cut scene,

    2. Click on Menu --> Abort the Mission --> Yes

    3. Load the second mission from the menu, the cut scene will work.

    These references are very useful, I collected it.
