ATI hotfixes always confuse me!!

Do you have to have any CATAYST drivers installed before using this hotfix or can you install the hotfix from scratch?

I ask this because the hotfix is actually bigger (by quite a bit) than the standard drivers!

EastCoasthandle · Nov 16, 2007

no more objects flashing in Crysis. Performance is about the same. What I don't understand is why is the game using 700+ megs?

You have to install the hotfix like a new driver. That means uninstall the previous drivers, reboot then install hotfix.

what I don't understand, is why do people review new video cards on new games, if drivers are OLD?

Because they don't have any other drivers and want people to get a rough idea of how fast it would be?

WarEagleAU · Nov 17, 2007

so this is basically a catalyst driver install, just labeled a hotfix?

JC316 · Nov 17, 2007

Good, one thing that was turning me off from Crysis was the corruption with my 2900 pro.

Whilhelm · Nov 19, 2007

Did anybody else have issues installing this. I get a Notify error and it just closes when i try to run the setup. I want to run crossfire with this game, oh well I guess I have to wait for 7.11 to come out.

AphexDreamer · Nov 19, 2007

Has anyone ever expericed weird flashes of light when playing the game in DX10 while serverly overclock the GPU? When ever I overclock i get these weird flashes and red lines and aftifacts on my Flashed HD2900 Pro.

Frogger · Nov 19, 2007

AphexDreamer yes same on non flashed pro @ 856/995 with the hot fix

Lopez0101 · Nov 19, 2007

It doesn't help that it's been over a month since the 7.10's came out. Wonder if they're holding off so they can get the Crysis fixes in the main driver release or something.

newconroer · Nov 19, 2007

Is it me, or is it kinda silly that one game is getting so much attention in that companies are making specific changes centered around that one game!

Lopez0101 · Nov 19, 2007

Well it's a huge release, probably one of the biggest this year after the firestorm Far Cry originally started. And I just ran the CPU and GPU benchmark and I'm very happy to report that all texture flickering and other errors have completely disappeared! Now it's all nice and pretty with no random pink textures or enemies with disappearing legs.

newconroer · Nov 19, 2007

Aye, it is a big release.

And that's good, about the fixes. In this case it seems very necessary.

It was most definitely necessary. The glitches could get really annoying. I don't like being able to see through a mountain until I get closer to it. :roll:

So its a driver thing right, not much I can do about it? oh well, guess I have to wait for 7.11.

I don't think it's as much of a driver issue as a voltage prob ...the regulator output volts @stock=1.00 and with overclocks = 1.15 this seems a little light the guys at Xtreme are doing some work with the bios and it appers that an ajustment to 1.25 might fix this ...but at this time you have to use a hex editor to make the ajustments oof the bios ...and it's still up in the air as to what lines/code have to be changed = a work in progress...hope full thta we will see an up date to RaBit or w1zz's tool soon so that we can do it the easy way

AphexDreamer · Nov 19, 2007

Yeah I think your right, it is a voltage thing. Whenever I increased the Volts on my Pro (Now XT) most of the sever afrtafacting went away, that or if I lower the clock by like 20mega hertz.
