Title: 5.4 catalyst and video settings
Post by: Noir on May 15, 2005, 07:21:54 AM

Hello everyone,

I've resintalled my PC cause I bought an installed 2x80gb/sata/raid1, I run Win2003 SP1 as I was before, and it was working well. I updated my catalysts to the 5.4 version (9600SE).

I reinstalled AH2 and when I launch it, I can't select a resolution of playin in the video settings window, there are no resolutions listed in it, but it recognises my video card......very weird.....any idea ? I pay without being able to play....

OK thank you for the tip, but the problem wasn't there :D

I installed the 4.12 without the control panel, same problem, then I launched dxdiag wich told me Direct3D was unavailable with material acceleration at the max in the display controls :confused: . Then I remembered that win2003 tends to disable directdraw and direct3D ! I installed the 5.4 back, launched dxdiag, and this time I could activate direct3D....

What a dummie I make :D

I would still use the 4.12 drivers and no Cat control panel (Skuzzy words) for best performance!!
