lucero1148 Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 Hi looking at the troubleshooting section I found the link to my answer (below) but on clicking the url ATI has redirected the link. Does that mean the latest video driver for OS10.4 is the correct fix? I'm a bit confused there. Otherwise does anyone have the aCTUAL HOTFIX? you can send it to me at patricklucero1148@yahoo.com i'M RUNNING A G4 Titanium 1000ghz, 1gb ram and the ATI Mobility 9000 Radeon. Thanks Patrick Problem: I have a Mac with a Radeon video card installed (8500, Mobility 9000, 9000 Pro) and I am getting what looks like psychedelic graphics displayed when playing the game. Cause/Solution: ATI has just released a Hotfix software update that resolves this issue. The file can be found here: http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4380.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I used to have that file until the hard drive it was sitting crashed a little while ago, sorry... I also looked around the ATI site and coudln't find the Knowledgebase article myself. However looking at the date of the release of that patch (April 2004), I'm wondering if the latest ATI Radeon driver for OS 9.x, January 2005 would have these fixes built-in or not. I'm not sure what the OS X.4 Classic environment has for Radeon drivers and if the fix is a part of that or not (I guess it depends on how up-to-date Apple has kept the Classic drivers). Please let us know what you're results are with either the OS X.4/Classic driver or the January 2005 Radeon update. If it does work, smoke and dust will appear in a bit lower quality, but everything else should be working OK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucero1148 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi Guys, Been off line since my last post. I've checked out the ATI site and downloaded their 2005 driver fix for 9.2.2 but on opening the file it came out as a driver for OS X?. Will keep on trying and let you know what happens. thanks hotfix for the help and all best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicky Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Try booting into OS9 - System Prefs > Startup Disk > OS9.2.2 Then installing the OS9 ATI drivers into your boot system - See how CM plays if still odd then apply the hot fix. When applying the ATI OS9 drivers in OSX it's not exactly clear where they install to ???? :mad: [ August 13, 2006, 09:49 AM: Message edited by: Wicky ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucero1148 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Hi . Well I booted into os9.2.2 and tried to install the hotfix. However on installing the driver the installer quit with an error 1 message and then the install disappeared. On trying to restart I then got a finder crash and had to force quit. That happened continuously even after I had gone into the extension folder and clicked the 9.2.2 extensions only box. Restarted and crashed again. Have had no luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
