SkateZilla Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 OK, I got it now, Control Panel, Uninstall Programs, AMD Catalyst Install Manager, Express Uninstall (Takes a Bit to complete for me), Reboot, Ensure nothing AMD is in programs list. Run the Installer as Admin (as I think it doesnt by default which leads to display driver signing issue, then the issue above), renamed the extraction folder (added a -1) to make it a new folder, Installed using Express Option, NO errors, Reboot, Gravy so far, now I'm just re-building my main profiles for screen arrangement.

sniperwolfpk5 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes yes they fixed the sleep issue. That is great news at least for me. While I think performance-wise it is equal to 14.41 or may be better but i didn't benchmark it. Win10, Intel 3rd Gen.

Bucic Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I got back to desktops after years and I don't quite understand whether such driver includes also other AMD platform drivers (chipset etc) or not. Could anyone please clarify? https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisse Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Yes it does Bucic. If you choose the advanced/custom install option, you will clearly see that. I always do that so I can uncheck all the stupid bloatware that is installed if you choose the quick option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucic Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks, Brisse. So how would I proceed with it if I plan to uninstall existing - reboot - install omega? Express uninstall? https://akaagar.github.io/briefing-room-for-dcs/ F-5E simpit project https://forum.dcs.world/topic/318106-f-5e-simpit-cockpit-dimensions-and-flight-controls/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmod Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 In my case: express uninstall, then go safe mode, use DDU uninstaller tool to get rid off all leftovers. Reboot, install omega, reboot. In DCS a few FPS better - but this may be result of cleaning all old stuff by DDU. Nothing more that i can see right now - looks like stable but no performance gain.

SkateZilla Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Last time I wiped all AMD I lost all chipset drovers for USB ETC, had to login using remote desktop from my other pc over lan just to install the usb drivers, which was problematic, so I went to my storage closet and dug out a PS/2 Keyboard, but not all the new mainboards still have a PS/2 port.

They say that all you should do is to use the express uninstall. That's it. I'll top it off with reboots and that's all. BTW, they recommend you update your system (windows update) before attempting a reinstallation or uninstallation.

genbrien Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) is there a way to have normal character size if you put a resolution of 2560x1440 on a 1080p monitor? I changed on windows the text size to ''medium - 125%'' or ''larger - 150%'' but neither are like it was.
