Windows 8.1 and Nvidia drivers

After installing Windows 8.1 (the version that was released on Oct 18th), I tried to run Project Reality. The game loads fine, but the video is "off" It's a bit darker, and the color is wrong. I was able to get into the game, but it's very laggy and the video is really bad.

I'm running a GeForce GTX 660 Driver Version 327.23

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem and what did you do to fix?

Thank You

Don't have 8.1, so here is a guess on how to help you out

Download NVidia Inspector.
NVIDIA Inspector Download version 1.9.7.2
Install it.

The idea here, is you want to add the file PRBF2.exe to the standard BattleField 2 Nvidia driver profile.

Here is a tutorial for a MAss Effect 3 mod, you have to do the same steps, but go to the BattleField 2 profile, then add the BF2\PRBF2.exe file to the profile.

There are some issues with nVidia drivers with Windows 8.1. For example, it disabled SLI on the Y500.

Might be worth clearing the Shader Cache too at PRLauncher > Support > Utilities.

Try the newest 331.40 beta driver, might work good with win 8.1 ! :) (I have GTX 660M, and that beta driver is nice!)
