Hi,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but something's up with the texture rendering since installing the latest ati drivers.

To be more precise, a flickering square grid shows up over the hexa game grid.
I have the same outcome on two different PCs after installing the driver, and a friend confirmed that he's experiencing the same thing.

Have a funky screenshot:

So, anyone else getting this? Any ideas?

Cheers.

This looks interesting indeed.

Busy today, but I'll get to it tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

Any updates?

Is anyone else experiencing this?

So far we could not reproduce this for the two ATI cards we tested it on. What exact card models do you and your friend have?

by **Gehrschrein** on 05 Nov 2010, 13:19

I've reproduced this issue on a hd4770, a hd5850 and a notebook chipset (mobility radeon 4570).
All of them flicker when running the latest version of drivers, but were a-ok before the driver update.

Alright, tonight we'll send you a special build for debugging the issue.

by **Gehrschrein** on 05 Nov 2010, 16:09

Thanks!

Although I won't have a chance to fiddle around with it until tomorrow.

I really hope I'm not having you guys do extra work only for me. Someone else better start complaining about this exact problem soon. :)

Have you tried turning video options off and see if the situation changes?

by **Gehrschrein** on 07 Nov 2010, 13:20

Ah sorry, forgot to mention. I've tried playing with the vid options and no luck.

by **void** on 08 Nov 2010, 21:07

Alright, my guess is it's a problem with the new ATI drivers in combination with certain cards. The fog of war texture gets rendered out properly, and after that there is no magic involved.

Here is a thread talking about a similar issue for the OpenGL game Second Life:

O well.

Thanks for your help. I've rolled back them drivers and I'll keeping them like this for some time.

Just wanted to report the same issue here both 10.10 and 10.11.

Windows 7 64bit
Intel Core 2 Duo E8600
Radeon 5870 1GB
Catalyst 10.11
Gigabit EP45-DS3L
8GB DDR2
Zalman ZM1000-HP
BenQ 241W

I've filed a report with AMD.

by **Gehrschrein** on 23 Nov 2010, 09:09

A, great. I was hoping 10.11 would fix this. If this keeps up, it's not going to be fluffy.

I'll throw a report towards AMD too.

Cheers.
