Problem with new version of TGEA and Nvidia 8800 GTS

I recently bought the new Nvidia 8800 GTS video card. I have been working with TGEA 1.0. It seems to be running ok. I downloaded TGEA 1.0.1 (with new drivers) and now none of the shaders will load. Both of these are on a clean install of the software. This from the log file....

Does anyone know what am I doing wrong????

Thanks....

I had this exact problem. Quick question, is this stock TGEA? The build that had this problem was not stock and unfortunately I didn't have any part in the development of it, so I can't post a fix. Try downloading the latest version of TGEA.

Copy the shaders from TGEA 1.0 and give it a whirl.

It's not a problem with the actual shader files.

Matt...It is stock TGEA. I just downloaded TGEA 1.0.1 and ran the executable. I did not recompile first. I even copied TGEA.exe from my TGEA 1.0.1 folder to the my TGEA 1.0 folder. The problem still exists. I run TGEA 1.0 and it works fine, I run TGEA 1.0.1 and I get the errors. Both are in the same folder.

Randy....Since it will not run in either folder I don't know if copying the shaders will do any good but I'll give it a try. I have seen stranger things. :)

Thanks guys for responding....

The problem seems to be with the build that came the update. I recompiled with VS2005 and everything works fine now. I guess the build that came with the download was a stripped down version because the file size almost doubled after I compiled the clean build. It went from about 2.8meg to about 4.2meg but at least it works now.

Thanks guys....

I had the same problem with 1.01, and after lots of stuffing around, I noticed that there's a updated version of directx 9.0c. I suspect recompiling on your computer fixed it because you compiled against the version of directx on your system. I'd recommend getting the update regardless.

Hope this helps :)

1.00 was built against Oct06 DX
1.01 needs a new (Feb07) DX which needs to be installed in order to have TGEA working on your system.
