3dMark05 HotFix Released

[Apoptosis]

I just got this e-mail from my contact at Futuremark and thought I'd share it with the forums as some of you might have interest in what it says.

Hi all,

Thanks to the enthusiasts of our community, we found a way to produce artificially inflated results in 3DMark05. This had to be fixed ASAP, so we made a hotfix for 3DMark05. This hotfix updates 3DMark05 to version 1.1.0.

The list of mirrors for this hotfix is here:

http://www.futuremark.com/download/?3dm ... x110.shtml

Here's the official fixlist which you may post:

* A possible exploit to inflate results in 3DMark05 version 1.0.0 has been fixed
* Updated Entech DLL
* One incorrect unit in the MS Excel importer has been fixed

Please note that in order to submit any 3DMark05 results to the ORB, the
3DMark05 version needs to be 1.1.0.

It is of course recommended that you notify about the hotfix on your full install v1.0.0 download page too!

Sorry for this hassle (or as we Finns call it "säätö"), but this could have been a major issue if we hadn't made & released this hotfix so soon!

Have a great weekend guys! :D

So if you have V1.0.0 they have blocked you from sending in results and only allow V1.1.0 to submit results. My download just finished and the hotfix is only 2.80MB in size, so no biggie!
