doesn't surprise me in the least. can anybody get specular working on radeons running the 4.5 catalyst driverset?

EDIT: my lack of specular is definitely a direct-x problem, as it works fine in OpenGL.

Whoa hey, this is much smoother than before. I drew an extra 12-15 FPS in King's Gambit. Runs pretty much the same as before, still some issues with env mapping rendering funny, but that's normal for me with the SCP. I'll figure it out eventually. ;)

it uses a diferent rendering system for darwing shields, they are based on the size of the weapon hitting you and will not destort on huge shields. was initaly implemented to help out people who wanted capship shields. when you hit ships now the impact effect will generaly be much smaller, exept for they get hit be realy freaking huge weapons

Ive tried this build - pretty fast compared to the older ones (the REALLY old ones, before 3.6). In env mapping, i would get FPS's around 2-4. With this, it nearly doubles, and the loading time is halved too!!
w00t Bobboau - excellent stuff here. Now I just have to try the other fast build :D

On that note, if some of you Radeon owners out there are suffering from this problem, and are willing to take a risk of screwing up your box, I came across a link to Catalyst 4.6 beta drivers.  You may want to give these a try.

Try this link.

Later!
