€dit: Just did the fix by finding the 11.4 drivers, extracting and expanding the atioglxx.dl_ files in there. 32 and 64bit versions share exactly the same file, there's just a difference between XP and V/7. I've attached both versions.

Eldur, thank you for your help my friend. S!

And I cannot find the 11.4 version on their site.

And unfortunately it continues in the 11.6's, 11.7's and both 11.8 pre-releases. It's an issue with the AA. If you check the Use application settings the water is fine. Trying to post over at AMD and maybe 3D Guru....

Just turn off AA. Or use that 11.4 file....

extract in your IL-2 1946 folder

Thanks albx,
That atiogl file fixed my flickering all over the place too!
It was getting so annoying!
Funny but I don't understand WHY that worked, since there was no previous atioglxx.dll file present in il2 1946 folder before I put it there?? (but I did notice that atioglxx.dll did exist in the windows system folders though).

I currenlty use a Radeion 4870x2, Win7 64 Bit, and I have tried the fix listed here with little or know success. I have tried different combinations of drivers while using the atioglxx.dl_ files again with limited or no success. What it has come down to is turning of Hardware Shaders=0 and everything but the water looks good. If I turn on Hardware Shaders=1 the game crashes.

If anyone has any other ideas to try in the short term I would appreciate hearing them. I will buy a new v-card in the near future and hopefully I will not have any further issues.

Hi all,
I have the same problem with 12.1 Ati drivers using AA.

The final solution to use AA it's to play in directx mode without vsync...bad solution due to tearing, but good AA mode with excelent framerate without somes efects (whater, for example).

I will try to use atioglxx.dll instead off opengl32.dll.

Question, where this "opengl32.dll" file, ¿inside \Il2 1946 folder? (I can confirm "no")

May be the problems it's "opengl32.dll" vs "new ati drivers" ¿It's possible?

Solved as follow: (with 12.1 Ati drivers)

- Search in "C:\" next files : atioglxx.dll and atio6gxx.dll. Copy and paste into Il2 directory.

- Take config.ini and change next section as follow:

ORIGINAL:
[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll

[GLPROVIDERS]
Open GL=opengl32.dll
DirectX=dx8wrap.dll

MODIFICATED:
[GLPROVIDER]
GL=Opengl32.dll

[GLPROVIDERS]
Open GL= atioglxx.dll or atio6gxx.dll (try first atio6gxx.dll)
DirectX=dx8wrap.dll

Save config.ini and exit.

And use Opengl with AA in Il2 without problems.

You mean ati06axx.dll? Can't find the ati06gxx.dll anywhere, and it's not in the driver packaging... In any case, neither of these work for me (12.1 or 12.2, on 6970) - back to 11.4 atioglxx.dll.
