Known Drivers to avoid.
QuantumDelta:
Can't confirm this on Cat 12.6 with the HD5870, testing with the dimensional eclipse build(on DE and on BP2), hopefully I'll get the chance to do some more later.
What build were you using?
What mod were you using?
Debug log?
Trivial Psychic:
I was doing Inferno stuff, using both RC4 and a build that Goober compiled recently that he described as a pre-RC7. As for a debug log, I won't be able to provide you with one, as I've already changed back to 12.4. All I can tell you is that these symptoms never materialized before I upgraded to 12.6. The only alternative (driver-related) is that its possible that the 12.6s I got were somehow pre-release versions. AMD's website was announcing the new drivers but all download links were dead. I had to do some considerable hunting to track down a working download.
Rhys:
I'm getting that clipping issue on my 7950 running the 12.7 drivers. Is there a way around this?
The E:
Yes. There are three ways to deal with this:
1. Use an atioglxx.dll from an earlier driver (12.3 works correctly, IIRC)
2. Correct version: If you have downloaded external shaders (like those from the 3.6.14RC release thread), you need to open main-v.sdr in a text editor, remove the line that reads "#ifdef __GLSL_CG_DATA_TYPES", and the line that reads "#endif" that follows.
3. Should that not be the case, download this: http://blueplanet.fsmods.net/E/Shaders_for_3614_August_08th.7z
Unpack it, and place the data folder contained herein (with its contents) in your mediavps directory.
Rhys:
I found a working link to that 12.3 atioglxx.dll file. Seems to work just fine for me.
