I see more and more people experiencing "Driver Issues" with their systems, especially laptops. A couple years ago, I had the same issues with another game and found 3rd party drivers that fixed everything that was wrong. Since I am not having issues at this time, I have not tried them on my newer system, but if you are just getting more and more frusterated with the gameplay, you may want to try the 3rd Party Omega Drivers.

Since these are not designed by any of the hardware manufacturers, they are NOT supported if they create issues. You can easily roll back the drivers to the previous version if these do not work for you. May want to just have 1 or 2 people try them to begin with and see if it helps.

Loot Hard!

I had one of the latest ATI Radeons.

My power supply stopped working.

We took it out.

We replaced it with a new one days later.

We turned it on.

The ATI Radeon caught on fire (From the inside of the chip thingy).

I'm scared to play with ATI now.

That is unfortunate. The developer used to be so on top fo the driver creation. I did not even look under the link to see if they were actually loaded yet. Well, I'll have to check back there off and on and see if it gets upddated.

In the meantime, since they are claiming it is an OpenGL issue, what about reverting to the DirectX settings?
