Is the gamma linear ramp fix? Did this version fix that...can't increase the gamma on OpenGL games for the previous version... So is this fix?

Get artifacts on command buttons and tabs again with these drivers, except for this time it is also on my main computer's graphics card (9800Pro) but there are only tab artifacts. There is also no overclocking and there weren't any artifacts with the official 4.5's. Also, DNA drivers didn't give artifacts. Screenshots below...

I'm scared to use radlinker now..It seems totally fubar with this release, and I even downloaded the full version from the author's site and got the same tab. Uninstalled, repaired, and reinstalled from scratch, still the same. reinstalled omega drivers too - Note that it lists Omega instead of my ram chips? That seems dangerous to me, as it clocks things based on what type of ram, right? Then that funky color...

Omegadrive

You are the first one with this case, I have never ssen this behaviour before.
Try re-installing the AGP chipset drivers.
Also, check the Advanced SmartGart Options to see if at least AGP/PCI read are enabled.
Did you installed any soft mods?

Hehe, don't be scared, that's normal, the application is just detecting that you are using my drivers, that's all, nothing to do with the ram chips or clocks at all.
BTW, the color was Chris idea, blame him.

eggs420

That really is on purpose!? Oh the evil, evil men behind this..I really do appreciate your quick response on it though, and if you happen to personally know this Chris fellow...Ahhh nevermind, thanks again.

someone stayed up all night

He did say its a self extracting executable. so when you click it it extracts.


Why dont you make a lite version of you drivers = no extra tools just drivers + CP+ the other thing....
that would be cool and save bandwith

Ok, it seems the problem is related to Windows Blinds.
I unloaded it on both machines and the artifacts were gone, but this still doesn't explain why there are no artifacts with the official and DNA drivers. I personally prefer Omega drivers anyday And it seems when I did unload windowsblinds, the hibernation bug came back on the laptop. Hmm...

primary download from driverheaven server is DOWN - had to remove it for the meantime it was killing the forum

There's something about these drivers that absolutely ruin my system (p4 2.4, radeon 9700np). I installed them, rebooted, and noticed a huge slowdown in everything. Simply right clicking on the desktop was lagged and took spiked cpu usage to 60% (normal for my system is around 13%). I rebooted, and suddenly my monitor settings were thrown back to the defaults. Rolled back to 2.5.22... everything's running normally again. Any idea what the fudge went wrong (no overclocking, didnt install any of the third party programs)?

Edit: the monitor defaults were changed as a result of my monitor resolution being reduced to 60hz. I installed with Fast write off.

ChrisW

The memory type was just extracted from the bios on the card. It didn't necessarily reflect the actual memory on your card as you could have flashed the bios with another bios that was made for different memory. I removed it as it confused some people and replaced it with the driver name.

Thanks for adding the extra widescreen modes for us laptop guys. 1280x800 works like a charm and is very handy. However, at least on my Mobility 9600, the others aren't working right even though they're present.

- 960x600 displays in horizontally-scrolling virtual-desktop mode in 800x600 instead of showing the whole thing. The pixel aspect is correct, though.

- 1920x1080 is also shown in virtual-desktop mode. It looks like the actual resolution might be 1280x1024. The pixel aspect is incorrect, being overly stretched horizonatally by the video scaler (wide pixels, perhaps 4:3 instead of 1:1). I have the driver set to scale to fill the 1920x1200 screen as well as possible while keeping the original aspect ratio. I get vertical black bars in 800x600, for instance.

I also noticed the following problems with non-wide modes:

- 960x720 and 1360x1020 seem to do exactly the same thing as 960x600, except of course they have more real estate to scroll around in. This is less surprising, being nonstandard modes.

- 1400x1050 and 1520x1140 seem to do exactly the same thing as 1920x1080. Again, less surprising because of being nonstandard modes.

- 1152x864, 1200x900, and 1280x960 do virtual desktop on 1024x768, looks like. These are some more standard modes, I'd bet the hardware can do them correctly.

- 1280x1024 stretches to fill the entire 16:10 screen regardless of the scaler setting. I think the hardware can do this 5:4 mode correctly. This is probably part of the problem noted in the 1920x1080 issue above.

I realize this isn't your job, but I figured if I gave you some details, you might be able to tweak some stuff when you have time to spare.

Thanks...

Installed on my laptop last night, HP w/IGP 320, and it still blue screens when I try to hibernate. Haven't had the chance to install on my desktop, AIW 9700Pro, but didn't have any problems with the last set on it. Any ideas on what else I should try or should I just give up and go back to HP's drivers?

BOB050082

Everything is working great with this latest set except for one thing. Ive been noticing some pretty bad graphical corruption in Wolfenstein Enemy Territory


As you can see, the console, the water, and the pazerfaust are a strage color and not being displayed properly. All other sets have been fine, except for this one, and this one issue. The only setting that I have changed in the control pannel is changing the color profile from desktop to 3d. No AA or AF enabled.

Thanks for the link Chaos, the look/feel of the download is different than I'm used to but it came down very quickly! Appreciate it!

Has anyone tested these with Farcry? Did anyone see if they cause texture flickering when zooming w/ binoculars or scope??
I saw someone mention temporal AA, is that enabled in the GUI with these? I thought temporal AA was going to be enabled w/ the stock 4.5's, but I guess not- it would be nice to try it w/o hacking the registry.

I wonder what my ISP thinks on release days? 7,000 x 17 megs=119,000 MB

In the past the admins with my ISP were using the drivers on their own rigs, so that could be why I never hear a peep

these driver's have serious issues with farcry...i haven't tried the stock ATi's, but i keep getting bad glitches...like tree branches going through people, and holes in the wall filled in by a solid color...i'll try the stock 4.5s tonight, but if far cry is your thing, i'd be cautious

swimtech

Uninstalled Radclocker, Radlinker (after reading this thread) and MultiRes for safety's sake and let the new versions included in your package install themselves. All went flawlessly.

The previous version 4.4 Omegadrive drivers did not work well on the laptop below. Scrambled screens in UT2004 Demo and Serious Sam SE - so reverted back to your 4.2's which ran those games fine.

The 4.5's are doing fine with the above games on the laptop - thanks much Omegadrive!

Re-install the AGP chipset drivers for your MB, that's all.

You must install the correct driver for your display check if you can disable DDC, scrolling only happens when windows is not sure you monitor supports the selected resolution, so it chooses another lower resolution and creates a virtual desktop.

Reset the color profiles and try again, maybe something went awery. BTW, that is not graphical corruption, that is just color corruption.

MEABeemer

Hey hey!

How are you my fellow gamers?!

Guess the time has come for another release from our big friend Omega, right?!

Looks like I was a little too fast with my happiness about BF- Vietnam. Still get weird corruption when enabling AF.

Prophet-ni

Sorry I play BHD and C4, which I just installed the Omegas based on the 4.5 Cat's and I didn't experience stuttering in game on either.
I did happen to see things I didn't notice before with the 4.4 Omegas, and that is: I was able to see exactly where buildings where put together on maps.
Never noticed them before until a few mins ago. Kinda nice because I can see through most of them, but not good for someone in the building because I see them as well.

Hi there! I am new to the site. Can I install the new drivers right overtop of the previous version of Omega's?

Thanks!

swimtech

Yes you can, they're designed that way for ease of use...

Welcome!

Siince the file is a cab file is it possible to extract the files using Windows XP's built in extraction feature?...I don't use WinZip or any other 3rd party file compression utillity because all I need is to be able to decompress files and XP's built in features do that for me just fine...Even when I used to use a separate decompression utility I always used Stuffit for Windows...will XP's built in decompresser work for cab files as well?

*on a side note why would anyone with Windows XP use a 3rd party compression utilty since XP does a good job of decompressing files by itself without the need for another program?....is there something that XP's does or does not do that WinZip does?....I believe XP also allows you to compress files to send as well*

Shadow Lady

there is not only winzip u know... Winrar (only one of the other) uses .rar files which compress better and had more options to compress than .zip files, and for decompressing, windows xp doesnt decompress more files than .zip and .cab files, the rest (ARJ RAR ACE TAR etc...) has to be extracted with another app, also the ZIP decompresser that windowsXP uses is no complete, it has no easy repair for files, sometimes it doesnt extract the right way (AFAIK). But anyway as for ur other question, yes windowsXP can decompress .cab files, so enjoy ^^
