Ati Catalyst 9.5

[razak644]

New drivers prevent the game from even loading.

It locks up at "Initializing texture compression"

and gives the "MEM_BAD_POINTER" error

Beta and/or 1.29?

[razak644]

both

[tettie]

Rgr, I haven't installed the new pack yet. See if I can test this tonight.

[MARTINI]

...installing and testing.

[elegance]

Seriously, I give up on ATI/AMD. I will never buy a Radeon again. This is beyond belief.

Try running the 8.10 drivers and catalyst control center.

I've had problems running anti-aliasing with the later version but not with 8.10

Hi,

Im getting the same error. I will test on Windows 7 RC1 64Bit, to see if it effects this as well. I have also submitted the error to AMD.

We've confirmed it. Should be a fix in 1.30.0.25 RC.

[MARTINI]

Initially, it looks like an issue with a particular texture type. I didn't have time to look into the details as to why, but I put in a "fix" for the next beta which should be released today. The only work-around I have for now is to use the previous drivers until this fix is tested and released.

[beav1810]

Just to let you know, it error's in Windows 7 as well.

I know this is like asking how long is a piece of string, but have you any idea when 1.30 will be out of RC?

[AHWULF]

Sixty-seven inches.

I would guess soon.

[GOPHUR]

Won't be out before the weekend. But likely soon after assuming we close this bug.

Patch ready...

[beav1810]

Thanks Gophur.

[GOPHUR]

Yeah but is it fixed? Speak now or keep yer trap shut when it goes live.

[GOPHUR]

Need to know if this is fixed before we go live...

[vertual]

I just upgraded to 9.5 to test this.

1st spawn was okay, despawed okay. 2nd spawn got the error "MEM_BAD_POINTER".

Restarted beta, 1st time the game didn't recognize me (all sides locked, no persona at the persona screen). Restarted beta again, logged in okay, able to select equipment, spawn into game: "MEM_BAD_POINTER" error.

1.30.0.26 RC

[GOPHUR]

Hmm... Will update ticket.

[razak644]

sooo is this fixed or not in 1.30?

[GOPHUR]

No. Still issues with 9.5 drivers.

[retterkl]

sooo is this fixed or not in 1.30?

yes.

[GOPHUR]

Hmm. Martini reports he is no longer seeing the issue. Odd.

9.3 didnt work, didnt try 9.4, 9.5 works like a gem

[sockeye]

Argh... I'm using 9.5 and went from 50-60 fps down to 2 fps. I've even installed older drivers and no luck.
