Old client bug with latest GPUs

[Z e r o]

Currently using 2012-04-10 client and is having issue with latest GPU been searching online for the permanent fix for this but haven't found one. The only solution I have is to use CTRL+ALT+DEL then ESC and the graphics will return to normal.

I will appreciate your help.

This has been an issue since before and I'm not sure if there'll be really a stable fix for this

I always start a second client to fix it in the first client then close the second client. But your solution seems even easier than this. It actually seems that taken over admin rights is what fixes it. You usually take over admin rights when starting RO but for some reason that isn't sufficient for it. You need to get admin rights while the client is already running.

I wonder how they fixed it on the newer clients. I am really curious. Yes my remedy is easier but we really need a permanent fix hope someone have a permanent remedy for this one

From what I know this usually happen only on laptops.

No it happens on all PCs that use certain graphic cards. All NVidia GeForce cards from the past 5 years are affected for example.
