Isnogud Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I have upraded my win 10 and want to re-install the SC games. Does anybody know if the AMD problem is fixed with the new driver version 17.7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 17.7 worked for me and SC WW1/Breakthrough (a Win 7 install however). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I am checking back here.. it has been quite some time but I hope that maybe possibly they have fixed this issue? I am not going to waste my time reinstalling the game if it isn't going to work.. I really enjoy all the SC games so I hope to play again one day but this issue has been outrageous to be honest.

Schrullenhaft Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 This issue was CAUSED by AMD. They had a bug in their video drivers that prevented the games from working (an issue with the way Visual Basic or similar libraries handled video calls, I believe). Slightly older versions of the driver didn't have the bug, but newer video cards couldn't use those older drivers (there is a minimum version for each new video card). This happens every-so-often for games. The big AAA titles usually get a quick fix (within a month or two), but smaller game developers may not see a fix for a long time. I think I actually tried one of the 17.10 AMD driver releases and found that SC WW1/Breakthrough worked properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I can confirm that getting driver 17.7 does FIX this issue!! Battlefront tech support was able to help me with a licensing issue, and afterwards I played for 4 hours !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
