Ev!L-aLphA · Nov 19, 2003, 06:29 PM

Heres a small hotfix i hope u all would like

ATI has issued a hotfix for certain issues found in CATALYST 3.9. This hotfix is an early version of CATALYST 3.10 and is available for users suffering the following problems:

The OpenGL driver does not load on All-In-Wonder products

System hangs while playing Call of Duty

Texture/triangle flashing while playing IL2 Sturmovik

You can grab the hotfix by clicking Here !

Please note that the hotfix driver is not Microsoft WHQL certified, and ATI recommends that users who are not seeing these issues wait for the fully supported, fully WHQL certified CATALYST 3.10 due in early December.

That is incorrect this hotfix is an early version of CATALYST 3.10. It is not reverting to an old OGL version. It is a new OGL, 2D, DX, etc...

hint ... this is basically going to be CATALYST 3.10 once we finish testing it and get Microsoft certification

very confused, I never said they were older. I said this was alot newer! A guy was wondring how this update would effect OMEGA's I mearly sugested he do the same thing i'm doing and just useing the updated opengl from this fix in the current release of OMEGA drivers till he's come out with a new release based on them.

(OpenGL build 6.14.10.4054) 3.9 Hotfix Hotfix Ver 2 (open gl from this realese linked 2 above...)
(OpenGL build 6.14.10.4010) 3.9 Hotfix Ver
(OpenGL build 6.14.10.4008) 3.9 from OMEGA Beta ver
(OpenGL build 6.14.10.3966) cat 3.8's
(OpenGL build 6.14.10.3920) cat 3.7's
(OpenGL build 6.14.10.3842) cat 3.6's

I had a feeling this was a ver. close to the next final realese. but dint want start no rumors

. I think you were a little confused with what i said. the Ati driver are fine but alot of us try to stick to the omega tweaked vesions.

Chaos · Nov 19, 2003, 09:12 PM

Thanks for posting the hotfix ATi.... and thank you Catalyst Maker my new card arrived Monday and works like a charm.....

PS: The 9500np is still faster in benchmarks

don't we all , i'm excited about it !

Runner3001 · Nov 19, 2003, 09:43 PM

Thank you ATi, time to try out sturmo and other games with flickering textures.

Chaos · Nov 19, 2003, 09:45 PM

I had an odd error.....I was browsing DH and had a TV window open in one corner when my monitor went black and into standby mode....I still had audio but was not able to exit or access task manager with Ctrl-Alt-Del....had to cold boot

Warpy · Nov 19, 2003, 09:53 PM

First off I would just like to thank CM for the fix.

I have been trying every known solution for Call Of Duty bar this one that ATI have just released. Neon Cowboy has been spending many hours with me trying to resolve this!! Hopefully this will clean up all the issues and Neon can stop hearing me bashing the crap out of my PC with frustration!

Thanks again for the excellent support and enthusiasm to keep the communities happy!

Ev!L-aLphA · Nov 19, 2003, 10:05 PM

cm u rock

DosCervezas · Nov 19, 2003, 10:22 PM

Question, is this a complete driver set or do I install on top of existing drivers. Thanks.

Runner3001 · Nov 19, 2003, 10:29 PM

Yay, the flickering is gone in my games. Hardwareshader setting in il2:fb, which was broken after 3.7, resulted in an instareboot but other than that im pleased.

If I where you bro I would remove the old driver set from your PC, reboot Windows, then run driver cleaner from here and then install the ATI Hot FIx driver set.

DosCervezas · Nov 19, 2003, 10:45 PM

Thanks man, this is the first time I have ever used a Hotfix and have no idea what they include. Did not know if they were a COMPLETE driver set or not. Thanks. Goin clean/install and see if I can play COD now!!

Davidgt · Nov 19, 2003, 10:45 PM

still crashes here used dh driver remover and installed new drivers get to where you enter the gate in training and it hard crashes r9700 pro ill submit a bug on ati driver feedback tomarrow morning

Poppi · Nov 19, 2003, 10:52 PM

Oh, quite a surprise ATI. Does anyone know if the carride hang is fixed with fastwrites enabled?

PoopyTheJ · Nov 19, 2003, 11:29 PM

Ok I'm confused do I install this over my old drivers? I'm running the Omega 3.9's currently, on my temporary MSI KT4 Ultra, can't wait for my nf7-s!

use driver cleaner 2.6
install this

when omega releases his ver
use driver cleaner 2.6
install his again

or

just wait for omega to make another release

~~HawK~~ · Nov 19, 2003, 11:39 PM

This is a complete set (3.10 no WHQ)
so yes you have to remove the old drivers first

PoopyTheJ · Nov 19, 2003, 11:41 PM

Ahhhhhh, Thanks guys, damn I just finished installing XP and drivers.... argggh, careful what you fiddle with when your machine is running...

Warpy · Nov 19, 2003, 11:59 PM

To prevent clogging up this thread, please post your finding here

Cheers

griswoold · Nov 20, 2003, 01:03 AM

it's a major release!

opengl2.0 shading language support!

that should make some poeple happy

Graham · Nov 20, 2003, 01:30 AM

Thanks for your assistance.
I am uncertain how to replace old OpenGl with build 6.14.10.4054. Please bear with a newbie. The file I wish to update is atioglxx.dll, I believe. I assume that atiogl.dll (build 6.14.10.4054) is in wxp-w2k-cod-7-96-012324e.exe. When I extract the files I can find atioglxx.dl_ but not atioglxx.dll. These are differnt, correct? I am sure this is a naive question but as your links were removed, I must ask.
Your patience and guidance are much appreciated.
P.S. Probably all of these efforts are a vast waste as omega will undoubltedly upload his newer set shortly.
