    I cannot get these two to work together. Anyone been successful? The game will not launch when I choose high-performance in the CCC. Thanks!

    I have the same problem but these updates have not fixed it.

    The game works using my A10's built-in VGA but not my 7970M. There are no issues to report with other games/benchmarks.

    Any help appreciated

    I have the full version and it also doesant work. It will launch with no problem using the INTEL HD4000 gpu but when I choose high performance it wont start. Notting happens. At firs I tought that its the 9.1.0.0 driver from asder that I use, so I tryed the stock driver bo no luck. Wont start either.
    Any suggestion??
    Thanks

    Even with the 7900 modded driver I'm unable to start the game. the game is up to date, and it runs fine with intel card. Tryed all drivers around and nothing helps. Any other suggestions ??

    Sorry to hear that! It was worth a try. You'll just have to wait a month or less for the official Enduro fix. :/

    So i got the driver working. I had to install the intel HD driver first, then the 12.9 driver. Same problem though... Won't work on the 7970m. This is really bugging me, I want to play on ultra lol. Any trick you had to do or it just worked?

    So, how you guys liking the game other than the ATI issues? The demo runs great and looks awesome on my old 5780, so sure it's soon to hopefully be fixed for you newer guys.

    As for the game though, I loved the demo... anybody have the full version? Any deal breakers?

    No it still wont run and I have the full game. Been waiting for amd to fix this for 3 months. It runs perfect on intel hd4000 but wont launch on 7970m. also when notebookcheck tryed to benchmark it thay said that it wont launch. I'm filling the amd issue reporting form every week or so, so please, people who are experiencing the same problem do it also. thanks

    Same here. Frustrating as hell. I'm beginning to wish I got the 680. Also because of the lack of 3d support.

    You can't get 3D period if you have switchable graphics, makes zero difference if you have 680M.
