Anyone Here Work For ATi?

Gabkicks · Dec 27, 2005

i need to contact someone who works for ATi about a problem with their latest drivers. many others are having the exact same problem with the drivers and the tech support is down untill the holidays are over. :shrug:

So... does anyone here work for ATi or know who does so i can give the information? Even the developer of the game said it is a problem with the drivers...

I dont work for ATi, but I am apart of a Team that is sponsored by them. You can email me the problems at [email protected].

I can get the information to one of our guys that works very close with ATi from that point.

im not sure what your problem with a newest drivers are, but as i posted in this thread: http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=432054 im also having a major problem with any ati driver 5.11 and up. unfortunately only one person replied to that thread and im stuck wanting to throw my computer out a window.

thx guys

the problem is that users of various new ATi cards (x800 and 850 series for example) are experiencing a monumental drop in framerates in the game Live For Speed. Live For Speed runs in DirectX 8.1 . This only happens with drivers 5.12 and up. 5.11 works fine.

the thing is... just about every other game runs a bit better but LFS takes a big hit. The developer himself has said it is a bug in the drivers.

I hope most of you guys have reported it to ATI. They won't know about the problem unless you tell them, and i guess they won't take it seriously if they only hear it from a couple of people.

Remember, one thing about LFS is it's using DirectX 8.1 - have you tried any other DirectX 8.1 games? I think most new games are using DirectX 9. Of course, i have absolutely no idea if it's anything to do with the version of Direct X. But perhaps their main focus would be DX 9 and they'd just run a quick test to make sure that older versions of DX still worked ok.

They really need to run LFS in a debug version of their drivers. to see where the problem lies. There's not much i can do other than make sure LFS doesn't cause any Direct X errors - and i'm always in debug mode when i'm developing, to make sure there aren't any. So i'm pretty sure the problem is in the drivers.
