    Hey folks,

    just updated to the latest catalyst drivers cause they really gave me some performance boost in newer games like d3 (had cata 8.2 previously)
    -> thats why i really don't want to end up installing the old driver again.

    unfortunately i'm now getting some kind of texture / model failures.
    I tried catalyst drivers from 11.x - 12.4 now and always ended up with the same problem.

    in cs:s or d3 most of the time the models aren't... "completed", meaning sometimes you can just look through most of their parts (no... it's not a wallhack lol)

    somebody got an idea how to solve this? or is there already a bugfix?

    cheers, core

    Are you just installing them over top of the last, or uninstalling first?

    nono... always uninstalling first, reboot, driversweeper... but i guess thats not the problem anyway as i installed the 8.2 overtop today and the error was gone. just seems to be a problem with upgrading to the newer versions.
    also tried to install the driver after modifying it with the mobility modder... still didn't work (as well as 12.4 with hotfix or 12.5 beta :/)

    EDIT: solved..

    pre-certified 12.2 works now.. still, it's not very customer friendly to release like 20 versions of the same 12.2 driver with different bugs...

    thx anyway kevin! +rep
