Mustang Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) This is very odd I saw this on another site today saying that the new drivers where released, if you check the ATI site they still say 8.12 is The latest drivers very odd in deed.:doh: I know! i've been confused as hell as well :D man, it's been, what, 6-7 weeks nearly and we haven't seen a driver release until today, i nearly gave up on getting a driver this month :P edit: jeez! so the techpowerup.com driver *is* the real deal quote spyre at amd game forums: "The driver page will be updated later today. The 9.1 package is version 8.57.3, not the same as the hotfix drivers though as these fix the 6 - 8GB install problem and the previous hotfixes dont. The hotfixes are faster in various games however due to the multi-gpu threading which wont be in the official drivers til later. If you dont want to wait, the drivers are already on various other sites." Edited January 29, 2009 by Mustang
rapid Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Roger that Mustang i believe you that your post is correct. I have down loaded the drivers but wont install untill Saturday................I like to let other people test it first.:joystick: And your correct again the drivers are a bit late from ATI. update ATI have now updated their driver page.

beczl Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I have a same problem. I have Vista X64. After I install 9-1_xp64_dd_ccc_enu_74231.exe BS won't run. :-( Later on I reinstalled the driver and the game too (twice) but it doesn't work. I try to remove the ATI driver with Driver Cleaner Net. It seems to be succefull, but the game doesn't run. I try to overwrite the whole Blackshark directory from my "BS backup", but it doesn't work too. :cry:

Mustang Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Huh.....thats strange, i've been using them most of the evening with no issues :huh: So far i've flown DCS:BS in 159th server for several hours and had a session on GTAIV, both have been flawless on my HD3850. Are all you guys who are having issues 4850/4870 or X2/Crossfire owners?

CE_Mikemonster Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, might do the dishonest thing too and wait to see their impact.. lol Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T
Mustang Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Need to ask this: 1: are the people who are having issues just plain installing the 9.1's without first uninstalling the previous ones first? 2: is it just the vista guys having crap? reason i ask this is because i've had absolutely NO problems all evening using 9.1 (XP32 driver) in DCS:BS (online or offline), Lockon FC 1.12, GTAIV, World In Conflict, FarCry 2 or anything else :huh: Edited January 29, 2009 by Mustang
graywo1fg Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 maybe its only people with Crossfire or X2 cards? Mustang are you running crossfire?

JG14_Smil Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Vista 64 bit. Properly installed drivers, X2 disabled. Catalyst AI will not let BS launcher run if enabled. Vsync full screen still not working with 9.1.
rapid Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 this will disble the other card if you are using a 4870x2.......this is why i always wait till other good people test the nre drivers first before i install them.

-Nighthawk- Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 Catalyst 9.1 drivers were aimed at fixing a few media related bugs, not really doing anything in games. I'm pretty sure in 9.2 / 9.3 we will see an updated Avivo and some nice performance improvements. 1
