That's the link to the XP version so people don't get confused.

TheGreatGrapeApe · Sep 4, 2003

Also for PHIAL and others there are nice fixes listed in the <A HREF="http://www.ati.com/support/includes/titles/fixed.html" target="_new">'Fixed in this Driver'</A> for the R8500/9100. So you peons of pixeldom get props! :tongue:

EDIT;
P.S. Look at Catalyst Maker's comments in the <A HREF="http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=5e533ee9a64ae14f189490f534a0f8f7&threadid=33708513&perpage=20&pagenumber=1" target="_new">Official CAT 3.7</A> thread at Rage3D. His reference to the CAT 3.8s makes me hungry for more already. I hope it's not just the 'BIGGEST' (the 3.7s are alo bigger than the 3.6s [by abou 5mb]).

LOL! That is true.

Good for me eh? And I've got more links! Are you going to edit yours now? :lol:

Nah it's not about me, it's about the Peeps!

It's funny I've still got the time-stamped winner! :tongue:

BTW, I'm the one who ADDED most of your links so I thinks it's covered.
PS, add the Rag3D thread for the nOObs, it's pretty ood reading and really let's people get an idea of what's fixed, what may still be a problem, and they can also see some serious whinning and childishness. Which of course NEVER happens here.

EDIT: And of course replying to this just bumps you up a notch on the thread list.

redstar · Sep 5, 2003

it doesn't mention the black screen you get when you try to get to the menu in counter strike (HL) in d3d (by pressing escape).

so how is this fixed then??

TheGreatGrapeApe · Sep 5, 2003

HL/CS ESC-key issue was fixed a while back!

It's only a PAUSE now.

Any further errors refer to VALVE.

Gastrian · Sep 5, 2003

redstar · Sep 5, 2003

i read the part where its an 8 second pause...but if i wait..i keep waiting.

once i wait its impossible to esc right back to game. Instead i'm stuck on a black screen trying hard to end task. which sometimes works.

i was told it was fixed in cat 3.5

But if so...why do i have the problem.

heh, with my old geforce 2...it was in opengl that i got the black screen but in d3d it worked.

I have tried playing HL in opengl and it does not work as well as d3d (whereas with nvidia it was opposite)

mrface · Sep 5, 2003

do they have the omega 3.7's out yet?

redstar · Sep 5, 2003

now i remember the problem in open gl counter strike...
it defaults to 60 hz refresh rate..even though i have the override on.

strange cause quake 3 runs at the override 85 hz and its opengl also.

of course all the d3d games also work with the override refresh rate.

----------

so everyone put in there 3.7's now? is it safe for me to install them?

)))

mrface · Sep 5, 2003

thanx.

TheGreatGrapeApe · Sep 5, 2003

Ahh yes, I know but I thought you also had an R8500LE just like GW. Oh well too much beer, not enough brain cells!

You have a GF4ti and you're calling ME a fool !?! :tongue:

Well, you can wait for th Omega's for nV (still aren't out yet since being 'alowed' to produce them again).

Yeah some nice small fixes, at least that I've noticed. A few games are running "better" CS, Elite Force2 and I think Im getting slightly more FPS in Morrowind.
