WARNING, INCOMPATIBLE ATI/AMD GRAPHIC CARD DRIVERS DETECTED
Compatible drivers
*Download AMD Catalyst 11.3*
*Download AMD Catalyst 11.2*
Good place to find them is http://www.oldapps.com/ati.php
Known issues with comapatible drivers:
- sometimes minimap shows huge circles FIX: restart the computer and dont start any application (no steam). If it does not help, go to F11 ingame and disable chili minimap and restart PC again.
Why do you need special drivers to play Zero-K?
There are two basic ways to render graphics on PC - DirectX and OpenGL. Because Zero-K is a multiplatform game, it can only use OpenGL.
Unfortunately ATI/AMD ignores OpenGL standard and that's why it's so buggy.
Please write to AMD about specific issues you have with specific drivers here:
On the download page of your driver version there is driver feedback link, click it, you will get to a page like this http://www.amdsurveys.com/se.ashx?s=5A1E27D27E29B0E3
If enough people write to them, they will fix it.
My drivers work fine, what to do?
- Make sure they really do work fine:
- Set details on ultra
- Do you see shadows?
- Do you see all projectiles?
- Do you see shields?
- Do you see air jitter on jet exhausts and shields and explosions?
- Do you see shorewaves on water?
- Is the antialiasing stable when you select units (try on some trees)
- Report Catalyst + driver version, it will be added to compatibility list. Report it to forum http://zero-k.info/Forum/Thread/946
