ATI Catalyst 3.9 Driver Suite Now Available

edited November 2003 in Science & Tech
ATI's Catalyst 3.9 driver suite is now publically available for download for Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP.

Among a slew of resolved 3D game issues and CRT compatability issues, ATI has also introduced a new feature: The ATI Control Panel Shortcut, allowing you to access the ATI Control Panel without having to navigate the usual Control Panel -> Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced method that we've all become accustomed to.

These drivers have a whole slew of bug fixes and resolved compatability issues, such as:

[blockquote]<LI>Setting the display resolution to 1024x768 32bpp followed by playing Blade of Darkness with the game set to 1027x768 16bpp, and texture resolution set to max, no longer results in a flickering horizontal line of display corruption
<LI>Playing Morrowind under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON™ All-In-Wonder 9200 installed no longer results in parts of the boat image flashing and portions of the person's body being missing
<LI>The game Jedi Knight-Jedi Academy no longer fails to respond when enabling Anti-Aliasing to 4x or 6x
<LI>Choppy game play is no longer noticed with attempting to play the game Home World 2
<LI>The demo game Panzers no longer fails to respond when Anti-Aliasing is enabled under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON™ 8500 series card installed
<LI>Setting the ATI 3D tab slider to Performance under Windows XP with a RADEON™ 9800 series card installed no longer results in display corruption when playing the game Grand Prix 4
<LI>Setting the game Flight Simulator 2004 to display at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 followed by starting a new flight no longer results in the menu being flipped just before the new flight is about to begin
<LI>Having two monitor connected with only one monitor being active no longer results in two monitors being seen as active in the Monitor tab of the Advanced Display Properties

    Homeworld 2 is still the same as are Call of Duty. :/
    Just a coverup for the 3.8 issue but they won´t admit it. Next.
