Find this line:

84 C0 74 0A B8 BB 00 00 C0 E9 B9 18 00 00 44 38

and change it to

EB 0C 74 0A B8 BB 00 00 C0 E9 B9 18 00 00 44 38

Thnx, but these are shown in the tutorial already under no. 2.  I mean I need the values  at the offset 160. (No. 1 here)

What do I need to change at the beginning of the file ? Cause if I change only these from no. 2 , I see the Orb is stuck.

I think there is a reason for the two rows of values in this tutorial.

That would be the PE checksum. Tools like CFF explorer can set it automatically, but in this driver it is located at offset 170 and is this:

7B 1D 09 01 01 00 E0 01 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00

This would be changed to:

E1 69 09 01 01 00 E0 01 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00

You defo need to read before you post, all of that was tested by me a long time ago (including the 391.35).

The NVCPL in the 39x.xx does NOT work.

Mine doesn't . That's why I included the manual patching process with WinHex in the tutorial. Which version do you run ?

I guess I was wrong when I thought it would eliminate questions like from the above.

[D.Draker]

@win32, btw , you wrote you don't have that file when you install the driver , right ?

So I installed 456.71 on a spare Win 7 PC with GTX780Ti, just to look what files are created, so here

I made an export :

456.71 filename full.txt

nvDevTools.dll

nvDevToolsR.dll

nvdisps.dll

nvdispsr.dll

nvgames.dll

nvgamesr.dll

nvlicensings.dll

nvLicensingSR.dll

nvmccss.dll

nvmccssr.dll

nvmobls.dll

nvmoblsr.dll

nvsmartmax.dll

nvsmartmax64.dll

nvsmartmaxapp.exe

nvsmartmaxapp64.exe

nvsvs.dll

nvsvsr.dll

nvui.dll

nvuir.dll

nvvitvs.dll

nvvitvsr.dll

nvwss.dll

nvwssr.dll

nvxdapix.dll

nvxdbat.dll

nvxdplcy.dll

In reality , one can delete everything except these :

nvdisps.dll

nvdispsr.dll

nvgames.dll

nvgamesr.dll

nvsmartmax.dll

nvsmartmax64.dll

nvsmartmaxapp.exe

nvsmartmaxapp64.exe

nvui.dll

nvuir.dll

nvvitvs.dll

nvvitvsr.dll

nvxdapix.dll

nvxdbat.dll

 

nvxdplcy.dll

Version 8.0.0.0 (as written in the properties of the exe) from 2012. It is listed as an option under "rebuilder".

[Cocodile]

Everyone, thank you for the help, yes, sorry I know I had to read first. Everything was in the tutorilal.

RDR2 ... can run with 431.36 (older than required, but modern enough to work I guess), I've done it. It's not a hard limit, unless later versions got a hard limit.

How did you bypass that limit ? It constantly asks me for 446.xx driver and/or 442.xx or newer (if I remove the last patch).

It is possible it checks the file versions of nvlddmkm.sys or nvd3dumx.dll. In my case the version is written as 24.21.13.9811. So it would have to be changed to 24.21.14.4229 using a resource editor or by searching for the version values in a hex editor (these are UTF-16 characters).

Now it just says "please update your graphics software" and makes an attempt to launch IE (which I obviously removed from the ISO) and then quits.

[K4sum1]

This was with an older version of the game, didn't think they'd make it required to update. Sucks as 431.36 gave better performance compared to latest.

Well, I unpacked the GT1030 and tried it ... well to say I'm not satisfied - is to simply say nothing.

The picture has purplish (reddish) tint , like on the American NTSC standard with purple faces, like on VHS/DVDs.

Is it supposed to be this way ? I don't know. The 10-bit colour setting doesn't work, it leads to a blank balck screen.

First, try to forcefully set the full RGB mode.

Second, 10-bit is only supported for their pro-grade cards, no wonder you see the black screen, even if the monitor supports it. 

Third, newer cards are tend to be overbright, so again no wonder there's a drastic distortion, they simply distort the vibrancy.

Try lowering the digital vibrancy setting.

Well, they tell:

 "you can only use 10 bit color with DirectX applications"

https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/how-do-i-force-my-gtx-780-to-display-10bit-color.416641/

The information over the web is rather confusing, I also don't believe it.

[Dixel]

New gens should have 10bits on HDMI via the 2.0b version, I think starting with 1000 series. I don't know about DVI, perhaps try via Display Port then? I doubt 1030 has it though.

Yes, but not via DVI.

"Nov 3, 2013 — Dual link DVI cannot support 10-bit color at 1440p. 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, maybe."

https://linustechtips.com/topic/71182-does-dual-link-dvi-support-10-bit-colours-1440p/

Like I said, try Display Port.

I have the same question. RDR2 now updated itself and started to demand even a higher driver version! Every time I try to start the game it says " Please update your driver. Game requires 446.14 or newer." 

Help is appreciated.
