The one thing I wanted, the separate display driver download at ATI, isn't up yet. My luck. (just a notice, no problem really)
Edit: now fixed, and those who seek the package in parts can look over at: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/d...asp?deptID=894

Ok, so I just installed the new 5.9 drivers, but for some reason Battlefield 2 STILL crashes after the initial splash screen... This is really starting to piss me off. I guess that I will just have to revert back to the 5.7 omegas. If anyone can help me out with another way to get this working besides having to revert please let me know.

Just a thought.. did you use driver cleaner in SAFE mode after uninstalling previous drivers from control panel/ add-remove programs?

Also wouldn't hurt to clean out your cache folder
Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\cache\

(and If in doubt delete the stupid startup movies thier a waste of time anyways)

I've tried deleting the start up movies, but punk buster detects that as a hack for some reason, so I can't join servers. Anyways, i'm just reinstalling the game.

On a side note, does anyone have any clue to when the next BF2 patch will be coming out?

well benchmarked HL2 and got about the same as with DH drivers(5.8)

so it seems to me that the catalyst perfroms almost if not as good as modded ones so i´ll stick with these until proven wrong hehehe
