Texture flickering and menu crashes

Postby HugoCampos » Thu Jun 19, 2008 5:04 am

I just installed the new Catalyst 8.6 drivers and guess what... in DX10 Preview mode, runway textures still flicker and FSX still crashes once in a while when using the menu. A lot of people have said this to be a driver problem but if it is, ATI hasn't corrected this issue. Oh well, back to DX9 (once more).

Besides the fact that DX10 aint compatible with most add-ons/vice versa if you like, it still remains unplayable.

Lol I once said it here on a thread and some poster with 10< posts told me I dont know what I talk about. That most add-ons work with DX10 and that it enhances the FSX experience with leaps.

I havent tried 8.6 since it is only BETA but DX9 with 8.5 is great.  

:o :o 8.6 is really out? WOW, why go back to 8.5? How is 8.6 in DX9?

;)

I'm not going back to 8.5, just back to FSX DX9 mode lol. DX9 is fine but DX10 runs smoother and faster, that's why I would like to see the problems solved.
