I'm really sorry, i just wanted to test my new template, and there were no problems for anyone...

I can release simple version if someone still have troubles, but only tomorrow i'm afraid.

I appreciate the fast response time btw GenL. And I will look forward to applying your patch to my system once the issue has been ironed out. Thanks!

Is the second display enabled required for the new patch? If its not im just going to stay on the beta.

No, the patch itself wasn't changed since beta. I just made it to work better for files in use, and "backup" should work well.

Then you should write that you need to enable the second monitor in the instructions. You know, for newcomers.

Also has the 1.03 patch been tested on XP? Or is it 7 only because of WDDM 1.1

Aargh. I have no idea what the problem is here. Is there a way to make the patch without such a fancy graphical frontend and have it just work? Or a command line activated patch through the C prompt? 1.03 version has the same results on my system. I clocked on Info and tried clicking on the cake next to the lady's elbow there, but nothing happens. Clicked every square inch of that grey box/cube thing and nothing happens but the music keeps playing on and on. Getting tired of hearing it, LOL.

PS I have two monitors connected - the primary is at 1080p, the secondary is at 1680x1050. Does this help?

GenL, should you just send him the beta patcher and make a simple GUI tomorrow?

You know, i think people who wants to use GeForce for PhysX while Radeon for rendering, are not newcomers.
Besides, second monitor is not required - for example you can use one monitor for both cards if it has several inputs. Someone described that in this thread already...

vjcsmoke, it was a shame. Sorry. Now i removed everything... try it.

EDIT: It's not really v1.04. It doesn't contain some bugfixes, so i advice everyone to try v1.01 first. Use this "lite" version only if you are unable to use the v1.01.

EDIT2: v1.02 released with support of 195.xx and 196.xx drivers: here.
