Yea the title says it all.

Okay recently I updated my ATI drivers (the update is 7.9 and old one is 7.2 I think). For some reason my video card stopped working and every time it was required, the game/something else wouldn't work and it'd say that "3d something has failed".

Then I went back to the 7.2 something, and I could run the games fine again. Now steam is complaining about too old drivers, and when I update, it doesn't complain but it says that 3d something has failed bla bla *program ends*.

So what the fuck and ATI's customer service sucks hairy donkey balls that have semen on em. I had this problem with VIA motherboard and ATI 9600 card not working together, and all they could offer was "sorry we're working on it". 2 years later they had just removed that guiding text and went back to upgrading fucken x312414 series.

I got my 9800 PRO almost free when a friend of mine bought a serious powerhouse from Nvidia.

And yes I fucken used every possible uninstall tool to get rid of the old.


Edit: I did install everything that came with the ATI fucken package.

I have a 9800 PRO too, and you might want to try using 3rd party drivers. There is a pretty popular one, that I can't remember the name of, but when I do I'll try to get you a link.

No it's just some bug with 7.9...

7.8 seems to work fine.

And is the pyro flame pretty damaging? It seemed VERY short in those wide open areas. Well at least the turrets look kinda cool. And the teleports work so damn fast. Kinda funny that in the commentary they said that heavy was for people who lack twitch.
