after upgrading to Catalyst 11.5 from 11.4 I got a lot of new bugs! Disappearing units, artefacts near place for geothermal plant, invisible selection and other green-lined objects and many more... What the hell is that? Why it was ok in 11.4 ?! (Game is BA 7.50)

ati seems to have no regression-testing / releases bad/untested/unstable drivers. this is why they often get a good performance... (as already seen by microsofts javascript benchmarks, they optimized so much, that the results where wrong...)

i have read that ati/amd drivers are written in C (not C++). is it true?
the only hope is Catalyst 11.6, i guess?

Hello. I have an Asus k42jr at my disposal recently, and I found that crash as described in 1st message happens when I try to build metal extractor. Independently with commander or common builder. Before that all looks ok. Will recommendations from 1st message help me?

[abma]

this should help: http://springrts.com/wiki/FAQ:trouble#ATI.2FAMD

(at least the crash ati-section...)

Catalyst 11.3 was fine for Spring, but anything after that and trees/smoke flash annoyingly. I want to use latest drivers for other games, but some maps in Spring TA are unplayable.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

hi there,

your full screen or areas of it runs in any colors on gaming ba with ATI hardware?

actually it helps to delete the widgets(F11) "allyselectedunit" and "highlightunit", maybe "redminimap"(should be fixed) too...

Since yesterday I've played several games without graphic problems. today everything went well until I joined super speed metal. the advplayerlist was not shown ingame and they were back. is there perhaps a context or I can see ghosts? can not be a coincidence?
