Need older ATI Drivers...

[Suh Dude]

I swear the new ATI Catalysts drivers are freaking ****, my bro can't even run source games anymore without it having a blue screen of death. I've reinstalled DirectX, Catalyst, etc.

So, does anyone know where I can find old ATI Catalyst drivers? I can't find a clean copy without something hidden in it.

No idea dude, you sure ATI doesn't offer legacy drivers on their site?

What card are you using?

 

[Suh Dude]

Radeon 9800 >_>

Take your pick.

 

[Suh Dude]

Maybe I should have been more patient D:, thanks Spunkeh

 

[Spunky]

No problem.

Ah, that was a beautiful card indeed. Until it decided to explode with it's AMD pal Athlon 2500!

Have you tried Omega drivers. Those work pretty well with the 9800. http://www.omegadrivers.net/

I never heard of Omega but I'm currently reinstalling HL2 DM to see if it creates that blue screen again.

Yeah my brother had that mouse problem but in any other game it works fine. Try setting the rendering to OpenGL.

Yeah thats the exact same problem here
Yea i only use OpenGl and never ever d3d in any game, i just rolled back to the original drivers on disc and the mouse problem seems to be gone i think but its really laggy ingame and fps seems to be quite low, do you have any other solutions??? what drivers is your brother using now or how did he fix the problem
Thanks for your help

If you know the drivers you're using, slowly move up to the most recent you possibly can. That's what I would do. Or go every other driver if you're not very patient.

Alright I just tried the Omega Drivers and...






HOLY CRAP it's fast as hell! No lag spikes, etc. Doku man, thanks!

My name practically means doctor-help. I'm glad you're playing smooth. Now if Omega finally released his Vista Drivers :devgrin:.

I just installed the latest omega drivers and now i cant play cs 1.6 in OpenGl or d3d, it says "The specified video mode is not supported. The game will now run in software mode" wtf? any ideas?

Yeah omega drivers rock so hard.

After installing them I've never gone back.
