SO i got the new drivers..thinking *SWEET*...

But then I couldn't play without most of my textures randomly turning black, or invisible. The tank went black, the APCs went purple/red/yellow/blue/etc pokasquares. the jeeps went invisible..rockets flickered in and out of invisible. It was nuts...went to Omega drivers, fixt. I also had random lag..after shooting my SRAW or ERYX...I would get a good 3 seconds of lag..so guiding my missles are impossible..since the game halts. And I randomly lost my HUD D:

Actually, upon trying the new drivers they seem to make BF2 perform exactly the same way as it used to. :rolleyes:

i hope your used to isn't the same as my used to...cause my used to was fine until my used to turned into night of the living pokasquare apcs.
 
Well, I have 5.7's with my X800 Pro, it runs fine, haven't had that yet. Hopefully the 5.8's will have some BF2 performance upgrades.
 
Maybe I should mention my poor 9600XT must not like them then :p
 
I still have 4.8 because Doom 3 is the only game that requires those drivers. :p

Are you satisfied with the x800's? I'm looking to buy a new video card now for some ungodly reason, and I am lookin at those mainly, cause I like ATI :p

All in all, do you think it kicks lots of ass? heh
 
strange, my friend had this same problem when he got the drivers, except it happened to a different game... he uninstalled them then the problem was solved
 
I have noticed the invisible tank, im gunna try the omega 5.6's see if they do anything about it.
 
Yeah, the only thing was, it happened in CSS AND BF2 equally... so suck.

@xfactor, those drivers fixt my problems.

It would kick more ass if it had more ram, lets just say its runs quite well with 512mb ram at medium settings. Also with a 3000+ non-64bit cpu. :cheers:
 
I need to steal your ram and get myself a 400mhz fsb 3200+ non-64 bit. :-x
 
heh i got 800mhz fsb p4 ;) ANd you know how long I had to work off 512 stick of 2100?! Shit, too long..this gig of good ram kicks ass.
 
Right so it turns out the new cat drivers did mess my pc up a bit. Whenever I try to stream a video, sometimes it will appear in various shades of green and purple. :rolleyes: :eek:
 
AWESOME! The Omega drivers are doing it too! Got some more screens for ya to laugh at me with ;(

<---- Weird, when I took the pic, the entire right terrain was all Black. It happens randomly, and when I'm firing my gun....

This is why I need a new video card. All the drivers are starting to do this. I seriously think it's dying. *wouldn't suprise me...that would suck, I have no backup cards...*

I'm officially opening the "Pitty CyberPitz's inability to buy himself a new video card, so lets donate" donation..

Paypal: [email protected] Anything works for me. Depending on how much I get, is what video card I get. I might just have to end up buying an FX5200 or something.

Here is why I can't buy a video card:
Bills
Rx-7. Now you might say, "Why is that needing so much money?" Well, the Transmission is going out. That means I need a new/rebuilt one. Expensive. I need a new Windshield...those are the NEEDS. Still rather expensive....

Any help would be lovely guys. Really, I don't expect anything, but hey, more power to ya if you donate....I might just meet you, and give you head or something ;)

*EDIT* It has come to my attention that I require a FORMAT for this to fix..that all the drivers I have installed is...crudding up my system. I have a 160 gig HDD, and no time to format, and nowhere to store my 70+ gigs I want to keep. But hey, I'll leave my donation up, because I still need a new video card..because this one is rather outdated ;P
 
Same thing is happening with me (black and invisible stuff)

I was hoping that the omega drivers would help but after your last post I guess I'm sticking with my catalyst drivers.

You should try them. ALOT of people are saying it helps them out alot. I guess I'm just unlucky :( *Or get an older version maybe?*
 
Alright cyber, try this I forgot about this.

http://www.drivercleaner.net/

Run that, clean out the ATi drivers and whatever else, then reinstall. NOTE: Remove drivers first, restart, then use driver cleaner, then restart again, and install driver.

That may help you out :)
