Old AMD Drivers
« on: September 01, 2014, 07:54:10 pm »

Is there any way I can play with old drivers? For FSX sake, I only run 13.4. All my other games are compatible with it. :)

We set a driver warning when there's a serious bug in the drivers, but I think it's continuable, isn't it? You may see some graphical glitches, missing shadows etc, but as long as there's no shader compiler error, it should work.

Yeah it's the open gl shader compilation fatal error... is there a fix for that?

Fix would be the new drivers, since the bug is in the old ones ;)

In some cases we can work around the bugs in older drivers, if it's something that can be done easily. I'm not getting the error with 13.4, so it may be also HW specific - could you please post your eng.log, so we can see what error it is, and what exact driver version and GPU?

That's eng.cfg, eng.log is near it. Hard to discern with Windows hiding file extensions.
