Anyone with problems with ATI drivers read this.

S!

Even ATI is working on IL-2 it does not mean it is in top 5. These new hot & popular FPS etc. games get most attention, which is realistic. But the fact IL-2 is looked into is a great thing.

Any suggestions on a catalyst suggestion for my old x850XT?
I'm using 7.11's now, I recall reading that was the last one that would support the old card.
thanks-

Stay with that one. You will gain nothing by trying a newer driver for that card.

Yup, after doing some readin' in the last hour, agreed.
thanks

I ran that card and driver for the last 2+ years with a 3700+ san diego and it ran this game just fine in perfect mode. You just have to get the right settings and it does great. I preferred water=0 to get the extra FPS in heavy action and I ran in 1024x768 with 4xAA and in game aniso. I averaged 50+ fps with 26 min on the Black Death track.

Good luck!

I also noted, thanks for the tip Qpassa, that DynamicalLights=0 helps a bit too and has no adverse effect on IQ or other things. I can use Vertex Arrays without blue hue with this setting. Good to see ya around Coastie

Hi Community,

first, im sorry for my english. I have a problem here with my HD 5770. I tried to get water mode "perfect" to run, but for any reason it seems impossible. I used to have a ATI X1950XTX and copied my old conf.ini cause i used to run water on "perfect".
But now my water looks like this:



A friend is running the same conf.ini with a ATI HD 4890 and it looks like this:



I have Windows 7 64bit and downloaded the actual atioglxx.dll. Catalyst AI runs on "standart".

Driver Packaging Version 8.712-100302b-096979C-ATI
Catalyst™ Version 10.3
2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1010
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0735
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9704

Thank you,

S!

Sorry gprr Credits to you of course! Too little coffee at the time I posted GS Hunger..Effects=2 is not recommended at all, not even by Oleg It is buggy and causes slowdowns + artifacting especially in smoke. Otherwise your conf.ini looks pretty much the same I use except not using Water=2 ( I have on zero) and Dynamical Lights are off as well.

[GS_Hunger]

Do you have a 5770? And why Water 0?
