IL-2 Random Crashes,ATI video card

[PE_Tigar]

Here's to hoping. I'm running 2x4850 in CF on Win 7 x64, and had intermittent CTDs (like once or twice a month, but I'm flying 2 nights a week on average). Will try this and we'll see...

I have an ATI 4870.

The dlls worked for me for a while, but last night I started CTD again. Can't figure out why it suddenly started again.

So I uninstalled cat. 9.10 and went back to 9.5 (which is the last version I had before bumping up to 9.9 in September or so).

*sigh*

Same here.
All my squadron pilots with 4870 have CTD everytime, not solution disabling catalyst or with different .dll. We are going back to 9.5.

Yep, I can confirm, dll's don't help. I'll try 9.5... or alternately take atioglxx.dll from 9.5 and stick it into the Il2 folder, see what happens.

EDIT: 9.5 drivers don't crash, but invariably produce artifacts. This sucks. I'll just buy nVidia for the time being and sell of both 4850s...

Not sure if anyone has tried the 9.11's but I was getting graphics corruption once IL-2 loads the landscape (actually the game itself renders fine, the text gets all messed up as well as ui colours).

Anyways my solution was to drop the atioglxx.dll into the IL-2 directory. I'm using 9.9's atm and they seem decent.

Dropping in the 9.9 dll makes it easier as well since you can still use the latest drivers for all your other games.

Hopefully it's okay to attach the dll here. It's freely available at ATI's website. I've just pulled the dll out to make it easier for anyone who needs it.

This is the 64bit Win Vista/7 driver.

I'm on 9.11.

I'm testing what youre saying by dropping it in the main folder of IL2....
Hope it works.....

If ATI fixes opengl in the next release just remember to delete or rename that file in the IL-2 directory so that it'll use the system default again.
