New in nHancer 2.4.2 (Jan 27, 2009)

  • Recognizes GT2x chips correctly (without a patch) and offers the correct AA modes for these chips.
  • Made changes for the new drivers (177.40 and later) where the control panel no longer write the global settings to the registry but only to nvapps.xml. nHancer will still write everything to the registry, especially since there are many options not reflected in nvapps.xml. But it will now read the changes made by the control panel back from the nvapps.xml file.

  • Added an automatic update feature
  • Small bugfixes

New in nHancer 2.4.1 (Jan 27, 2009)

  • Sped up the application scanning.
  • Application scanning will only be done if the “only installed applications” profile filter is actually selected and only as soon as it’s necessary to actually display the profile list. This fixes the problem with Beta 7’s long startup time on some machines.
  • Bugfix: Fixed crash when current prerender in the registry is set to a higher value than nHancer expected. Also increased maximum value to 5.
