polar update

I recently updated to 2.6.12. And eventhough I used to run previous version of polar with no problems, I now get an error message saying my GC is not up to the standards of polar. But when I go to the help tab and see the polar test report it says pass to all!! My GC is NVIDIA Geforce 230M, Im running windows 7 on a HP pavilion Dv6 laptop.

Re: polar update

We are constantly working on improving the performance and visual quality of Capture and as a result of this some releases use OpenGL features we haven't used before. A consquence of this is that you may need to upgrade your graphics card drivers!

Hi Yenz,

If you're using a laptop it would be laptop manufacturer, otherwise NVidia's site. If it's a laptop you're at the mercy of your laptop manufacturer to make fresh drivers from NVidia repackaged and available to you. Usually though they have a date for the driver - does it seem new?

*EDIT - NVidia now seem to be releasing drivers directly for laptops. Try NVidia's driver download page!

Hi Lars Ive downloaded the driver, but now have a bit of a problem with Capture lacking. There seems to be about a 1/2 sec delay from I hit a button till I see any output on capture Also when I look in the "universes" tab, the universes says...searching...until I send some DMX, then the universe shows up for about a sec, then it disappears again and say..."searching again... Im using the new Titan mobile from avolites and using artnet.
