Omega/Plutonium XK1.1.18 Released! Discuss Here.

Michomel · Aug 1, 2002, 03:17 PM

Hello

I like your drivers very much but since your last drivers for Windows XP I can't change my resolution to 1280x960

I have a Radeon 8500.

I hope you can help me

angelo2600602 · Aug 1, 2002, 06:03 PM

Hey Cyborg,I found a way to install the new Plutoniums with out the greyed out Dx Acceleration features or the ATI Smart Gart utility being ddisabled,It seems that the catalysts are really picky about the way you install updates.I tried doing it like you by just overwriting the previous drivers,without uninstalling them,but even though the DX Acceleration functions were not greyed out anymore,The ATI Smart Gart still didn't work.So I just followed the suggestions in the 2nd page of the UNINSTALL GUIDE posted by Gurm,Thank's,I hope this helps people with similar problems.
OH just in case here's the link: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/thread.php?id=1953&p=2

OK somehow the mirror list got blanked out...the download should work again.

dirtydog · Aug 2, 2002, 11:31 PM

I think people who have problems with any driver should try to uninstall them properly and then reinstall them... I never said that everybody who doesn't uninstall his drivers "correct" has heavy problems....

sins · Aug 3, 2002, 11:47 PM

I must say i am dissappointed with the omega corner. I've been downloading their voodoo drivers, and they kick ass. However, their radeon drivers have really become unstable.

I'm looking into that directX9 driver right now, but I cant find a good link for directx9 (win2k).

Data1232 · Aug 5, 2002, 06:59 AM

Okay, I got a really freaky problem with these new drivers. When I installed them, my games started saying that there was no Radeon present in the system. But if I went into display properties it says there is a Radeon. Any suggestions, because I had to uninstall these and go back to official Catalyst 2.2 drivers.

I am going to work heavily on the next set to increase stability, but I think ATI needs to work out a few of the bugs in these Catalyst drivers.

Gurm · Aug 7, 2002, 07:20 AM

Yeah, some people need to cut Cyborg some slack.

For me, ALL the new drivers work well, his are simply tweaked the best.

If you have a degenerate system on which your Radeon works flakily, nothing he does is going to help you.

I see people bitching, saying that his drivers don't work, but then they admit that NONE of the Catalysts work for them. Well BIG surprise!

Drop back to the last O/P based on non-catalyst drivers then!

Sheesh. His drivers are simply the best of what ATI has to offer. If ATI's drivers suck ass on your machine, there's not a lot anyone can do to help you.

Try to figure out why ATI's drivers suck so much on your machine, before bashing Cyborg. Ok?

Agree 100%....well said

Mahler_seele · Aug 9, 2002, 10:17 AM

Is this based on a catalyst driver or on 6118???

its based on 6118 ofcourse and 6118 is a catalyst driver (all the new drivers are)

+Wolfy+ · Aug 11, 2002, 01:43 PM

I tried unstalling the control panel and reinstall it a few times, even from safe mode, and each time i boot i get that error in atiapxx.exe (control panel) screen, any suggestions?

DonnoD · Aug 12, 2002, 10:12 PM

Does cyborg still intend on releasing a plutonium based on the WQHL 6118's? It's been a while, and from what I understand, all thats needed is the replacement of certain files.

RIV@NVX · Aug 13, 2002, 11:53 PM

I have this problem using O/P's 1.1.18 with directdraw. There is no support for some resolutions (examle 640x480).
I am using Radeon 8500LE (BBA) and WinXP.
This didn't happen before, just this time.
Any ideas?

P.S.
I don't need 640x480, but Diablo II can't be run without a support for it...

I would like to know this as well, currently I am still with the Ati 6118 drivers (first build). I would like to update to the WHQL plutonium set. Or will the next plutonium set be of a different driverset (6136/6143 maybe)??

Necrosis · Aug 16, 2002, 07:32 AM

Hi all,

I was talking to a guy in the irc chat room today. He was having troubles getting this driver to download, it kept redirecting him back to the download page. I tried it and couldn't get it to work either.

blkskull · Aug 16, 2002, 03:08 PM

Ok maybe I'm retarded or something but I can not find any links on the download page for the new drivers. All I get is some dates and a description of the drivers but no links. Where do I download the new drivers??

Thanks

Ok never mind I found another post here from someone else who had the same problem and there was a direct link where I was able to download them.

Thanks

boby · Aug 22, 2002, 12:49 AM

can i instal control panel of official 6118drivers on this omega/plutonium

Dr_Drache · Aug 25, 2002, 10:50 AM

I just installed these drivers, cause it seems like they ROCK.
But it installed my primary mon as a 7000 pro, when i clearly have a 9000 pro
the performace sucked at that setting, and when i tryed a manual driver update to
the 9000 drivers, i get alot of files not found. if someone can tell me what i did wrong, it would be nice... any help would be nice

bugnug · Aug 27, 2002, 02:56 PM

Gday mate your driver is great....has fixed my stuttering probs in halflife and runs NWN well but the problem i have is that with your drivers i cannot select 1280 x 1024 as a desktop resolution. max is 1280 x 768 =(

any ideas?

Well I think the 7000 Pro is just a typo, but I also released these with support for the 9000/9700, before they were actually released, I cant really try it, as I dont have either, but I'll work on some things and hopefully have it resolved in the next set.

ULTRA-NOS · Aug 28, 2002, 04:47 AM

Well.. tried the new Omega/Plutonium XK1.1.18 driver and I have no installation problems. It prompted me after the installation for the capture drivers to which I responded by installing the tv-capture-wdm-6-13-10-6125v4 driver. Everything was sweet until I started playing counter-strike. It happens after playing for about 4-8 minutes, the system hangs and then the freakin memory dump thing comes up. Happens with other games as well. Whetehr its direct or opengl. hmmm.... anyways, would appreciate some input from the xprts... cheers..

can someone tell what this mean:
DClock info.
MClock info.
SClock info.
it's on engine and memory clock settings,when i press view clock info. on omega plutonium 1118 in radeon clocking utility

Dr_Drache · Sep 15, 2002, 11:04 AM

Well I cannot help save to say, with the new 2.3 i get the same slow 2d desktop, and random crashes.
But what i do know is that the asus a7v133 kt133 via's have problems with quite a few AGP cards, aka i could not use a Ti 4600, or my old kyro 2 under anything newer than ME. This happens to be a hardware bug, all you can try to do is update to 1009 bios, latest 4-in-1 and hope it works...

other option, is new mobo.

Cyborg,

The UT 2003 Demo Benchmark Program will not run with your drivers, WinXP Pro and 1024x768
at 16Bit.

I get the following error:

"Critical Error" Window:

UT2003 Build UT2003_Build_[2002-09-16_05.17]

OS: Windows XP 5.1 (Build: 2600)

Any Ideas on this one?

Jeff · Sep 20, 2002, 12:33 AM

I'll look into my M6 and M7 settings, as I think I may have something wrong, btw, is UT2k3 D3D, or OGL?

Alan Allen · Sep 20, 2002, 12:53 AM

It can be played in either. I am using d3d.
