Not very good .. like 20 times slower than a comparable Nvidia card and no close terrain. Have to disable stuff bit by bit to identify the problematic piece .. a strenuous process.

Well perhaps a mass mailing of forums members complaining could get Ati in gear. That or one phonecall to the correct person. Somebody hack into there servers and grab some home numbers.

It's also likely that we are doing something wrong, OpenGL has a nasty habit of hiding various pieces of "undefined behavior" in the specification, drivers then don't provide any warnings, Nvidia chooses to behave logically which covers the cause of the problem, while ATI usually manifests something really unexpected when we test it after some time.

We had several of these already, the worst type of problems by far.

I see the game should start in prehistoric times.
Forget the vehicles! :)

Silly, Chicken murder never goes out or style!

But seriously, dinosaur racing would be cool.

Cameni mounts a T-Rex, while ZeosPantera mounts a Raptor.  The two glance at each other, while AngryPig holds the flag up high, ready to start the race.

Three ...
Two ...
One ...
GO!!!

AngryPig drops the flag, and the T-rex takes one look at the Raptor and disembowels it.  Then he turns his attention to AngryPig, who stands there like a deer in headlights.  In a few seconds it will all be over.  AngryPig hits CNTRL-ALT-DEL, and sighs a breath of relief.

Another day, another dinosaur, and all is well.

Just few days ago we sent another bug report, it has been fixed promptly but now we are waiting for the fix to show up in a beta driver so we can continue testing it.

Apparently as we added multithreaded optimization - loading textures asynchronously from secondary OpenGL contexts - we are now getting BSODs on AMD. Better and better. :/
