Massive lag spikes with new AMD drivers

Tietovallu · Post by **Tietovallu** » Tue May 17, 2011 5:13 pm

I just recently updated to my video card's new drivers (v11.5), and I get massive lag spikes every 1-2 seconds. Happens to a very lesser extent upstairs (maybe every 10 seconds or so), but every 1-2 seconds downstairs and outside. Happens both with Ender's and vanilla client, but less with the vanilla one.

Probably has something to do with the driver update, so should I try to downgrade (if possible) my driver version, or wait for a fix?

PS. AMD video card owners do not update your drivers.

I've had issues with AMD drivers since around 10.1, 10.2. I started using OmegaDriver then. www.omegadrivers.net

Don't know if this helps as i have an onboard Ati 2100 and am still with 9.1 driver on XP 32

11.5a Hotfix - but seems only Win7 related fixes

You also could try to set your AA to " use application settings" ...

Strange, setting antialiasing to application settings seemed to work. I'll download the hotfix and see if Haven is playable without it. Not that I couldn't play with it, can't really see a difference.

mine was already set to 'application setting' ... so i seem out of luck for now..

there seems to be a new version of 11.5a Hotfix (RC3 May 16)

Win7 https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/20307/1 ... _may16.exe

XP https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/20307/1 ... _may16.exe

I read on a german forum that it should contain OpenGL fixes too
