Futuremark has issued a hotfix for its recently launched 3DMark Vantage benchmark. Users around the web launched two major complaints after trying out the new graphics benchmark, both of which have been remedied in this hotfix; the banners have been removed and you can save and view results offline. The latter is only available with the Advanced version, but the banners have been removed from all versions. Also, it now has a Error Report feature, which is voluntary to use and completely anonymous. Beside these updates, the hotfix fixes a number of known bugs;
- An issue preventing valid serial key entry in some cases has been fixed.
- An issue causing "boost::filesystem::create_directory" error message after registration has been fixed.
- Added a check and error message for hardware that is not DX10 capable.
- Improved detection of supported resolutions so that CPU test minimum requirement (1280x1024) is now taken into account correctly.
- Fixed an issue where pressing the ESC key during CPU test loading screen, the user would be taken to a score view with score -1.
- The entire 3DMark Vantage application is now elevated to Administrator rights, rather than only the SystemInfo component. This will ensure more robust SystemInfo and benchmark functionality, and fixes the "pop-behind" elevation dialog.
- Fixed an issue that sometimes caused "WM_QUIT" error messages.
- Post-processing scale is now displayed correctly in the UI for the Extreme Preset.
- Fixed an issue that could cause resolution switches at test runtime.
The scores will not be affected by the hotfix. All trials keys have been re-enabled for a second run with the new version.
There is both an update and a full installer available for download.
