Hi Kenjara I too have been trying this with my XFX 4770 card and found that the 9.3 opengl atioglxx.dll just will not load CMSF. When the 9.3 dll is in the system32 sub dir or the CMSF suuub dir the exe does not launch. My OS is XP sp3 and the ATI 4770 radeon chipset is relatively new so perhaps 9.3 does not work with this card. However I have been using the atioglxx.dll version 6.14.10.8673 I will test further on my end but I have been playing quick battles and they seem to make it through.

Steve The fact is the big video card players are Nvidia and ATI and these are what BF recommended specs say are needed to function with your software, we as users have little control over the BF design and API relationship. We are gamers, end users who merely want a working product; on both a hardware and software level. If there is a change perhaps BF should ask ATI what was changed between the various iterations of ATI catalyst drivers 9.3 through 9.7. Immediately upon getting the error I posted a tech helpdesk request which was responded to from Matt I replied in kind to his requests and have as of yet not received further requests from BF for error logs etc. We appreciate that you will do what you can and I trust you can appreciate the end user dilemma with wanting cards that are noted as being functional with the game actually work with said game. Trying to figure out workarounds here with various versions is indeed Russian Roulette and I am hoping we find a method that will allow us all to enjoy the game fully. Taking the stance that users afflicted with this are bitching when they voice issue with the error and that ATI is screwing us and not BF, I have never purported in any of my posts a bitch and by you using these words IMHO minimizes the actual priority this issue will receive. I truly hope it doesn't as I and many other users have been loyal BF customers for years. Hoping we get something rolling for all concerned. Cheers. Waycool-Michael

Agree Schrullehaft but we do have is an issue that is effecting some portion of the player base BF should compile and sticky this posthaste and some sort of notice from the developer to ATI must fan the fire. Furthermore I have tried other opengl games without crashing IL 1946 opengl, so I am at a loss. Battlefronts helpdesk database has zero info on the ATI issue that is a game breaker for users who wish to enjoy the game fully. A formal request was made to BF tech via the helpdesk where they asked some probing questions but that is as far it went. Hoping to get a reply from them soon in regards to sending some crash data which BF said might be helpful. The long and the short of it we BF ATI users want to play:)

ATI has become more entrenched in the once highend stomping grounds of Nvidia. Therefore ATI are making up a larger share of gaming rigs. BF we need further info on this even a sticky with workarounds as well as what is causing the atioglxx.dll crashes.

same here kenjara

Interesting item Eddie, it appears to be on some sort of ground mount.

Thanks for the heads up Roman I am running XP so the 9.8 beta should be along soon for XP.

Hi All Is anyone else having issues with opengl specifically atioglxx.dll crashing on various offsets? I have a XFX 4770 (new ATI Radeon) and do get crashes with reference to the dll file. Apparently you can use Catalyst drivers 9.4 but my card is not able to install these, to new I guess. My video card has been stress tested with furmark opengl benchmarking and stressing utility for 2 hours and is solid. Temps seem good power supply solid 750watt Corsair. I have tried Catalyst drivers 9.5 through 9.7 and various atioglxx.dll files with newer builds the 9.4 included atioglxx.dll will not load the game. Sometimes I can make it through a quick battle or scenarion but more often it seems to crash 5-10 minutes in. Anyone ???

Other Means hilarious.... we must have gome to the same battle drill school LOL>

Congrats BFC! I have been enjoying Battlefront's games since CMBO and they hold a special place in my gaming arsenal. Looking forward to the future Normandy WW2 game and all the other goodies. Cheers.

Still getting ati open gl issues/crashes. Tried back dating the atioglxx.dll to earlier versions but 9.3 Catalyst does not work with my particular Radeon 4770 PCI-E video card. Tried 9.5,9.6, 9.7 still crashes. Played some missions as long as 45 minutes and then the noted error. Any other newer ATI users getting this?? crash AppName: cm shock force.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: atioglxx.dll ModVer: 6.14.10.8787 Offset: 0062c8d8,, Any ideas for a solution or workaround??

For official support you may wish to create a ticket Spartan at the helpdesk link noted above.

Anyone running with an ATI chipset 4770 video card??? and catalyst 9.6 9.7??? My Nvidia box is running it.

Zatoichi my card is not supported by 9.3 (XFX 4770 chipset) I really have not run cmsf much but thought it was working alright on the ATI which is a new build the open gl error happens about 5-6 minutes into a game. atioglxx.dll. Tried back dating to 9.5 and 9.6 still same.

Had another crash same error atioglxx.dll. This was on a scenario as oppsed to quick mission,

AppName: cm shock force.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: atioglxx.dll ModVer: 6.14.10.8787 Offset: 0062c8d8 Playing quick mission about 5 mintues in above error running Catalyst 9.7 on XP Pro os. SP3 everything up to date. Video card XFX 4770 ATI and triple core AM3 cpu.
