Re: ATI users and 1.21

I am now getting a CTD with my 9800 Pro when I try to start the game. It loaded yesterday alright and I was playing for a little while; weird i'll tweak some ATI settings and see what happens.

Re: ATI users and 1.21

Tried 6.2 and 5.6 and the game still CTD on launch. I have an Nforce3 board.

Re: ATI users and 1.21

presidentr, there are no dumb questions. The Omega they are referring to is basically a very talented dude who takes the official ATI video card drivers and modifies them. He makes changes to the regular drivers which are supposed to improve performance and many people use them instead of the official drivers.

I do not use third party drivers, like the Omega's for example. So if you didn't go to his website (or several others) and download them, you won't have any Omega drivers installed.

From what I can tell I've got no difference at all, using x700 Pro, Omega drivers.

Don't forget the link http://omegadrivers.net/

If you do decide to install them, PLEASE be careful and completely clean out the drivers you had previously before installing these... My drivers started conflicting and after many headaches I just decided to reformat :cry:

Re: ATI users and 1.21

I have an X1600 Pro and the 6.3 drivers cause graphic distortion on the hand when i sprint and sometimes when i walk too. So i just reverted back to the 6.2 drivers for now. I will wait for omega's or the 6.4 drivers!

Re: ATI users and 1.21

For those with CTD:

After installing 1.2->1.21 I had CTD right after selecting my class at the start. I wiped out BF2 and reinstalled using the full 1.2 and the 1.2->1.21 patches and all is well.

Bump this thread to try and get all ATI users who have serious hard problems to report your settings and the steps that can be repeated to produce the problem again. Provide screenshots or logs of the activity that goes on your system if possible.

As you wish Dank..

I have ATI 9800 pro ran sweet as a nut until 1.2 and then 1.21

Iget really bad stuttering about half a sec pings are higher etc.

Ive tried everything written on any forum regarding BF2. uninstalled everything fromt he game to drivers delete this taht reinstall those extract that etc... and to no effect as ive mention on another thread im just not gonna play and hope that the next patch will square me away.

I hear EA are changing there intro noise from "EA challange everything" to "EA LAG is everything". I'm not bitter.... honest.

Re: ATI users and 1.21

The catalyst 6.3 mainly upgrades teh catalyst control center.. not gaphics.. i wouldn't get it till omega releases it.

when you dl omega drivers, do you have to have the ATI drivers installed first or just the omega ones.

If you want ot download the Omegas the best thing to do is to follw these steps:
1. Uninstall the Catalyst drivers and Control Panel or CCC.
2. Run your Crap Cleaner (www.ccleaner.com) can for issues and fix.
3. Reboot into safe mode and run your Driver Cleaner. Clean the ATI and the ATI CCC.
4. Reboot back into your normal desktop. Then it will tell you that you have new hard ware and some other stuff. You want to let it look for the new hardware just this one time.
5. Finally download the Omega drivers and install.
