159th_Viper Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 Funny thing that - tried to install twice now and both times get BSOD with error "Device Driver got stuck in an Infinite Loop". Rolled back to 7.8 and it's fine. Also attempted to download twice and every time same problem. However off to try again.........

Mustang Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 Running flawlessly here on my 8xAGP X1950Pro in WinXP, although some users in other forums have reported some strange issues with Catalyst 7.8/7.9 and my type of graphics card, even ATI have made this announcement: "Installing the Catalyst software suite 7.8 or 7.9 on a system containing the ATI Radeon™ X1950 AGP series of product may result in either the desktop failing to be drawn properly or the operating system failing to boot. It is recommended to continue using Catalyst 7.7 for this product at this time." wonder why i've been so lucky :huh:
159th_Viper Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 That might explain it - I am running an AGP Radeon X1950PRO 512MB, OS XP as well and the BSOD error stipulates an "ati2dvag file" error. However 7.8 is fine so I've been lucky there - Strange :huh: Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

Kuky Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 X1950XTX here and after flying offline/online tonight for some 2h I can say these are pretty nice running on my system (XP Pro / SP2). I used Control pannel to remove current drivers... rebooted... then used Driver Cleaner Pro to clean all ATI registries/traces then installed Cat's 7.9 PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR

Kuky Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 I don't see any weird lines in that screenshots. Also if you wanna make sure you have good install of these drivers, uninstall them again... this time use Driver Cleaner... then reinstall again. By the way I dno't install that other thingo's (ie Earthsim) that come with later Cat's package... just the driver sets.

graywo1fg Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 you dont see the wierd lines verticaly on the weapons? never happend before and they pulsate.. very wierd :P i just turned shadows to all planar and that fixed it but now it doesnt look as good :P Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg
Kuky Posted September 13, 2007 Posted September 13, 2007 I stopped using full shadows long time ago because the new fuel tanks on the F-15 an MiG don't show with them so I just leave it.

Polo Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 anyone else getting these wierd lines on weps with full shadows on? never seen em before this 7.9 driver.... I've got the same problem on my HD2900XT under Vista Home Premium 64 bit, but it is happening with both Catalyst 7.8 and Catalyst 7.9. I've logged a support ticket with ATI to see what they can come up with. For now I'm using 'All Planar' till it can be sorted out.

graywo1fg Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 ok.. well i guess its full planar for me too :P Voice of Jester AI Death From Above =DFA= Squadron Discord - https://discord.gg/deathfromabove http://www.twitch.tv/graywo1f https://www.youtube.com/user/Lonewo1fg
Fjordmonkey Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 Did an Upgrade through the installer for my rX1950Pro, went from 7.8 to 7.9 without a hitch. Running Vista32bit, marginal increase in framerates during testing (Company of Heroes, Quake Wars, Lock On:FC). No problems what so ever. Regards Fjordmonkey Clustermunitions is just another way of saying that you don't like someone. I used to like people, then people ruined that for me.
Prophet Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 I have the same shadowing problem. I guess it could be worse.
Polo Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I've received this response back from ATI Support: Solution:Thanks for the information. I have passed the problem along for investigation. Further, I would suggest all that are affected with this problem fill in the Catalyst Crew Feeback form. Lots of feedback will give the problem more importance with the software engineers.

H4rM Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 I don't have any problems whatsoever with the 7.9 Cat's. If anything, better graphics and smoother gameplay. I checked and I have none of those lines you see in your screenshot, nor do I have a shadow issue. I have been using them since they came out, and so far they get a big :thumbup:.
