Graphics Issues

[kenjara]

EDIT: Fixed the problem. I found out its caused by the catalyst ai on the recent ati drivers. I disabled it and the problems went away.

Hi I have the steam version of multiwinia and since possibly the last ati catalyst update I have been having these weird graphics issues.

I have uploaded some images to xfire so you can see what they look like.





Its annoying as it stops me from playing the game, but I dont really want to roll back my drivers if thats the issue.

It was already known, and fixed way back. Apparently you always had the Catalyst AI disabled/set to low, and it only defaulted to advanced after you installed the new driver - since I know for a fact that this issue was present in older drivers.


I have no idea what Catalyst AI actually does, but it's probably not woth getting camera-shy Multiwinians who corrupt themselves.





Glad to see you managed to fix this on your own though, since I couldn't and needed help

I just tried setting catalyst ai to standard rarther than disabled and its still fine. It seems only advanced causes troubles. Its apparently a good idea to leave it on as it provides optimisations that can boost your frame rates in games.

As for an actual explanation on what it does go here.
