ATI 7.4 is out!

[Dwarden 1125]

If ATI guys don't fix this bug fast, ATI cards will be a fart in the space.  

Sure, since the whole world plays only ArmA

nah sickboy noone says they must fix only ArmA ... yet i mean this bug is reported to them since Feb (or even earlier)

it's not in known issues, it's not accepted in support system (in style "work in progress/known/fixed in future) ...

while in meantime you can see tons of useless fixes or even hotfixed drivers for stuff like crossfired STALKER

(i bet czech beer there is more owners of ArmA with ATI card in Czech than worldwide owners of Crossfire with STALKER

...

It's not what I meant.

Bravo6 simply says that if ATI doesn't fix this bug fast, ATI can pack their bags (the users will all run to Nvidia) because of this ArmA/ATI Cards driver bug.

If I misinterpretated, then please forgive me.

So in that, I made a sarcastic remark "As if the whole world only plays ArmA" ... "As if ATI's card sales would differ much depending on ATI-ArmA performance"

OT: I fully agree that ATI should get it's act together and hurry the F up, I just don't like useless remarks

well i'll grab 7.4 now and install it tonight but from what ive heard so far im going to curb my enthusiasm about anything being fixed.......

what a fucking waste of time 7.4 is......

installed it and....

*Within 5 mins the gfx bug is back

*upon ALT-Tabbing i notice that my desktop has reverted to 16 colors

*I then check performance and find 1020 handles

*ArmA then crashes by itself whilst i am on the desktop

What a fucking joke

I havent been near Arma in a month, looks like i wont be revisiting it for another one....

Maybe we're lucky that's not the case

I didnt get the handle leak problem with the 7.3 installed 7.4 played 40 / 50 mins handles didnt go above 300 ? I read on another forums someone suggested ati leak seem to be more common with intel cpu's ? rather than Amd

Specs Amd 4600 x 2, x1950xtx, 3 gig. XP home sp2, beta patch, maxmem @ 1200.

Runs very very well.

Probably because you have AMD, seems to be mainly INTEL users with the problem.

I gave the 7.4 drivers a try, and definately no fix.

Stompy: I have an Intel processor and some very serious problems with ARMA. Could you direct me to where you found that there was a problem with Intel stuff? It might help to fix my problem.

will this leak problem be solved by BIS or ATI updates?

[Jack-UK 0]

Its an ATI Driver issue, therefore it cannot be fixed by BIS...

Only solution at the mo is to roll back to 6.7 Cat..

if i go back to that older version will the game run faster or slower?

Im really pissed of about this crap!

I have the recomended specifications and i have to run ARMA at very low and some disabled to play decent.

It seems to me you don't get it - do you?

You don't have recomended specs since there's something

wrong with your graphics card caused by a bug in your

graphics drivers which needs to be fixed by NVIDIA.

Once this bug gets fixed, you're one step closer to reach

the recomended specs, since nobody knows what else

will be found wrong on the existing specifications side.

Recomended specifications are always refering to properly

set up hardware without faults.
