DISABLING NVIEW DRIVERS
DISABLING NVIEW WINDOWS

Thus, this appears to be a viable workaround.Īnyway, I posted this up here in case it will be useful to anyone. However, after disabling nView I could not reproduce the hang. Before doing this I was able to consistently reproduce the hang. To work around the problem, I disabled nView Desktop Manager (Right click on the desktop, select nView Properties, and click disable in the nView Desktop Manager groupbox). Although the assembly instructions and register values described online do not exactly match those in our log, they were close enough for me to conclude that it is the same issue. See: Ī detailed investigation of this problem is available on this site:Īs per this article, the hang is due to an infinite loop in nview.dll. This is supported by the fact that explorer uses 100% CPU, as confirmed by these reports. Postings on the internet about nview!NVLoadDatabase suggest that there is an unpatched defect in nview. This is interesting because nView is a 3rd party DLL provided by NVidia. Why did this problem only occur in production?

Windows XP based Workstation with 2 monitors.

Won't work with last weapon switching.I was recently working on a windows program that would sometimes become unresponsive when scrolling through a large list of items in a production environment. toggle1, 2, 3 to show viewmodels for that slot or not. Bind something to 'toggle1,' 'toggle2,' etc to display or hide.Īlias switch1StateHide 'alias switch1 slot1hide alias toggle1 switch1StateShow'Īlias switch1StateShow 'alias switch1 slot1show alias toggle1 switch1StateHide'Īlias switch2StateHide 'alias switch2 slot2hide alias toggle2 switch2StateShow'Īlias switch2StateShow 'alias switch2 slot2show alias toggle2 switch2StateHide'Īlias switch3StateHide 'alias switch3 slot3hide alias toggle3 switch3StateShow'Īlias switch3StateShow 'alias switch3 slot3show alias toggle3 switch3StateHide' From the NVIDIA Control Panel navigation tree pane, under Display, select Set up multiple displays to open the associated page. Use 'switch1,' 'switch2,' etc for changing weapons. Here is the issue with the basic WPF Xaml Island. How we can repro it is with systems running Nvidias nView Desktop Manager. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Don't use them directly.Īlias slot1hide 'slot1 r_drawviewmodel 0 viewmodel_fov 0'Īlias slot2hide 'slot2 r_drawviewmodel 0 viewmodel_fov 0'Īlias slot3hide 'slot3 r_drawviewmodel 0 viewmodel_fov 0'Īlias slot1show 'slot1 r_drawviewmodel 1 viewmodel_fov 70'Īlias slot2show 'slot2 r_drawviewmodel 1 viewmodel_fov 70'Īlias slot3show 'slot3 r_drawviewmodel 1 viewmodel_fov 70' Disabling Nvidia alone doesnt do the trick, I had to disable the Nvidia and then reboot to notice any change here. If you want them on or off for specific slots: //Switch between slots. Some folks find it easier with projectile weapons that shoot from an angle to leave the model on as a reference point. You may as well not have the model blocking your screen. To work around the problem, I disabled nView Desktop Manager (Right click on the desktop, select nView Properties, and click disable in the nView Desktop Manager groupbox). As long as you're clicking things you're hitting things. So basically, there's no need to ever use models on hitscan weapons. So much easier to time and judge distances when viewing the animation.

I don't know why anyone would ever want melee models off. With the Original I like viewmodels off though. The reference angle helps me direct at longer ranges. Sort of the same applies for me on soldier with default launcher.

With a higher viewmodel fov (high enough that the tip of the gun is close to the crosshair) it becomes easier to track and fire long distance with the model on for an angular reference. It's a frame of reference.įor flare I like it on because the angle of the model nicely corresponds to the angle the flare comes out. Sort of like how it's tons easier to direct airshot someone when they're near a wall. I like flamethrower on because it gives me a better judge or projectiles distance for reflects. I use viewmodels for everything except shotgun, so basically hitscan models off.
