ATI Catalyst 8.2


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

I've just made a discovery with the Catalyst 8.3 drivers.

I had a problem going from 7.11 to 8.1 with 3-4 second freezes when selecting units - very annoying so I rolled back to 7.11. I tried 8.2 and 8.3 when they came out and suffered the same problem.

My discovery was this - in order to stop the freezes using 8x drivers, I have to enable the ATI Left Click option in the CMSF options.

Now why this should be the case I don't know, seeing as CMSF played very nicely under 7.11 without this option selected. Something must have been changed by ATI in the 8x drivers.

Now I just have to get used to the 'lack of precision' that having this option selected brings, but as I play WEGO it's not too annoying so far when a click doesn't go where I was expecting as I have the luxury of time to change it back - it's certainly less annoying than the freezes. Whether it's less annoying than having old drivers for any new games I buy remains to be seen.

For the record I'm using an ATI X1950XTX under XP SP2.
