Solved AMD Catalyst driver - Windows 8.1 (archived by Mimus)

[Mutter Theresa]

Re-install may succeed in the result (if u are lucky) - if not - u start at the same point again. I just want to understand whats happening

GL_VERSION: 4.2.12217 Compatibility Profile Context 12.104.0.0 - working
GL_VERSION: 4.3.12618 Compatibility Profile Context 13.251.0.0 - shit

although both say

GL_VENDOR: ATI Technologies Inc.
GL_RENDERER: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series

this

----- R_Init -----
Initializing OpenGL subsystem
...initializing QGL
...calling LoadLibrary( 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\opengl32.dll' ): succeeded

I dont find in the working dump - means - ET loads wrong dll with the crap driver. Maybe I delete the opengl32.dll and replace with the working ATI opengl.dll file

but not tonight

use this program to swipe all the AMD drivers completely.
cause when installing a other drivers some of the crap drivers are still staying there and using these drivers to load opengl.
after using restart PC and install the drivers that does the trick for you

This sound very experimental - but will try - thx

Huh -

1st warning: Windows

I have kinda bad feeling with the file ...

Hey i am using an amd card And i had same problem all i did was rollbacked the driver and it was okay

Guess what I did! I uninstalled driver - rebooted and re-installed it. Somehow - it uses the 13.9 version again sometimes. I can see no reason for, so Chucks suggests meets best I guess. But I have to do a complete backup before I perform this action. Not sure what happens

What I found out so far is:

OpenGL 4.2 works
OpenGL 4.3 and higher suck

Catalyst:
Driver Version 12.104 - from 13-03-28 (good)
Higher ones suck!

Bad version: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3530/...m7_jpg.htm
Good version: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3530/...3i_jpg.htm

What I see now is that the bad version has Microsoft signature. I have no clue how Microsoft version replaces my ATI version???

Check yourself with http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/download.php - I think you use 4.2 too

Maybe our old school game is no longer support by OpenGL
