Drivers & Software

[john007]

AMD Team you are the underdogs, I love an underdog, its you that pushes the technology tree, the top of the table just stagnate progression we have seen this all too much.

Please just study the atiumdag.dll your debugger should easily solve this hiccup.

Have a great holiday AMD Team.

are you serious mate?

First of all the game ran fine before the driver update so its clearly a problem on your end which you can easily fix with a hotfix.

Secondly this is not "Big mother truckers" its arguably the best Command and Conquer game ever created if not the RTS game.

Thirdly multiple command and conquer games are suffering from this issue.

Please fix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The games worked fine before Adrenalin so obviously an issue caused by the driver. Breaking older titles with new driver releases, then not fixing it because they're "old" is not okay, especially since more games are affected (I've heard about Witcher 1), so it must be a more common issue. We understand it's not the highest priority, but breaking something then making excuses to abandon it is not a very responsible behavior from a company...

Not to mention this 10 year old title alone has more online players currently on steam only than some new titles (khm. Ashes of the Singularity...) on which you still spend "engineering resources".

TW, KW, RA3, Uprising have around 1500 players combined daily on Steam which doesn't include players of the origin or ultimate collection version. We don't ask for performance optimizations for a 10 yr old title, just fix what's been broken by your latest driver branch. Thanks.

I hate to be harsh, but it takes "valuable engineering resources" to fix something that has worked on every single Catalyst and Crimson driver, right up through November of 2017? Fixing this is THAT much of a challenge? For an outfit that is struggling to win, or just maintain, the hearts and minds of the PC gaming public, this is a very strange strategy.

Yea ray_m, that's right. OUR feedback. You know the feedback you tried to stop by locking threads so we could not diskus it.

The same you do with OpenGl.

And i was wondering why this topic disappeared from the community forum

Shame on ray for treating us with the middle-finger

Looking forward to testing the fixed driver since the current drivers don't work on either of my 2 gaming PC's, both AMD.

It crashes in atiumdag.dll

Reading from 0x00000308 ? Nice code AMD ! Seems that eax is null and this move should be skipped ? or eax is incorrectly null, it will be so easy for you (AMD) to analyze this with symbols, I think it will take about 30min of yours "valuable engineering resources" ...
