How long does it take to get a response from nvidia about reporting a bug?

[Anarchist420]

I'm wondering because of I filed a bug report on the 8th and it's the 12th now. Anyone know what the typical waiting period is? Under status is says New.

It depends really.First of all they have to validate it, have you provided the "steps to reproduce"? if it is a sporadic issue it may take a long time to reproduce it.

 

[Anarchist420]

Yes I provided the steps to reproduce it.

 

[Jaydip]

Well then it shouldn't take more than 7-10 days.

I'll bite. What's the bug?

Something imaginary, no doubt.

Something imaginary, no doubt.

Doesn't he rant about quality in the Dolphin emulator?
I'm sure Nvidia will get right on that.

Regardless I hope its shorter than AMD's bug system, 14 months and counting and still no acknowledgement.

I logged a driver bug report with Nvidia about missing shadows on FSX when I had an 8800GTX. That was in 2007.

I also logged a a bug report about the GTX680 vsync stutter bug in March 2012 and never received a response.

So two incidents logged and no response with either. So don't hold out too much hope of a quick response. :sneaky:

Both were eventually fixed after a very long time.

They just don't like you.



I've only ever filed one bug report. It was to AMD. They responded really fast, in a day or two. I was having crashing problems in Cinema 4D using a 3870. They told me they didn't offer support for pro apps running on Radeon cards. Which shows that they do read them. They just only respond when they aren't going to do anything. lol

The problem was fixed two drivers later. I had rolled back to the previous driver in the meantime, which was fine.

Terrible texture aliasing in dolphin.

Terrible texture aliasing in dolphin.

You know that Gamecube and Wii games aren't made for the PC, right?
You know that Nvidia isn't a Dolphin developer, right?

Do you even have anisotropic filtering and AA enabled, or an internal resolution that isn't circa 1980?

Yes. However, with R275 drivers on my old 560 Ti with the same settings, the texture aliasing wasn't there. That means the problem is on nvidia's side.

You know that Gamecube and Wii games aren't made for the PC, right?

Yes. Gamecube and Wii games have terrible texture aliasing when played on the Gamecube and wii, but Dolphin makes it so that you can play them without texture aliasing provided the drivers aren't screwed up.

I've never had luck with AMD's or Nvidia's bug reporting. I seriously think anything submitted goes directly to an email trash bin.

You need to be a business or a reviewer to get noticed I would have thought.
