SFFT alpha drivers - V3/4/5 - Join to Testing

[Rolo01]

I tested Alpha 45 and found no problems to report so far.
Until a few minutes ago I got a BSOD while surfing the net, not playing any game or 3D application.

0x000000EA(0x85CBC300, 0x87662CD8, 0x875010B0, 0x00000001 )

System :
Pentium4-3400 with V4-4500 AGP
WinXP SP1

I Tried the UT regedit hack
It didn't work
Please note: The corruption is in the game, not when leaving it.

I notice a strange error.
After running about 2 hours, the system hangs. A BSOD occurs after that.
In order to check if it's another system device witch cause this BSOD, i reinstal the amigamerlin driver. No problem with this, so that the problem came from the SFFT45 driver.
( with the SFFT44 the system works also fine )

I've tested some games with sfft alpha 45 driver(tm on & off).

Heroes v still crashes.
Nfs Underground 2 is still black .
Civilisation IV has black textures in the nfsu2 stile .
Hitman Contracts hasn't black textures when aproaching to dors & walls, works fine with full details.
Counter Strike 1.6 has corrupted textures...

There is not much testing going on.

Just ask!;)
I don't have many games to test, i hope it will be enought
Worms Armageddon and Carmageddon TDR2000 works fine
America's Army 2.8 shows black textures and square "lens flare" effects

Il2 Sturmovik Forgotten Battles (in D3D mode) have flicking textures that switch from normal to very bright

Unreal Tournament 99 start with black screen in Glide mode

[SuperFurryFurryThing]

Unreal Tournamanet GOTY Edition works for me on a V5 with the Glides supplied as part of the driver set and IL2 Sturmovik forgotten battles works in D3D Mode if you use a low enough resolution and detail settings.

Probalby my register needs a clean:)
Confirm il2 fb works well with low details, but it's strange that flickering appears only on high details
Americas Army shows black textures also in 800x600 and very low details
By the way, shortly i will reinstall the drivers and redo the tests;)

But Il2 wouldn't be a problem. It runs far better on Opengl

Yesterday I tried to run some newer games ... no go at all.

F.E.A.R. => menu invisible, mouse flickers, ingame the whole screen is white, but the game runs (sound responds to actions)
Serious Sam 2 => the video at the beginning is invisible but flickering, then nothing
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. => error message when starting (ok, I didn't expect it to run )
C&C 3 final => error message "you need DX9, blah"
Test Drive Unlimited => loads the game, screen turns black and it goes back to desktop

Hm.

Sorry to tell you, but the V5-6000 SLI bug is still there.
I tested it with May Payne2 in 1600x1200.
Something is strange :
With Alpha 45 Max Payne 2 shows massive slowdowns already when playing the intro !
It looks like this :

As if the screen is parted and part after part is rendered...
I did not recognize this in earlier SFFT´s.
