64 bit Win 7

[acolyte6]

Does the Dark Mod work with the 64 bit version of Win 7... The patched Doom 3 works beautifully. I just can't get TDM to work at all. I read on some post that 64 bit Linux needs some kind of 32 bit libraries. Where would I find those for Win7 ?:confused:

Yes, I have been building maps will using W7x64. What is the exact error messages your getting, as I can guarantee this aint a problem with windows, but either a driver or a file problem..

[Xarg]

Haven't had a single error on win7 x64, and I've been playing TDM on it for half a year now.

You should be able to run TDM on Win 7 64 without any issues. What are the errors? You don't need any special libraries to run TDM on Windows 7 64.

 

What kind of computer do you have? Video card, sound card, etc?

BD and Xarg, what version of Catalyst Control Center do you use? If it's post 11.11, did you experience the upside-down turned screen? Before I install the ATI Tray Tools I'd like to know if this will remedy my issue.

[Bikerdude]

yes, just turn Catalyst Ai off. I have actually complained directly to AMD about this, and they wanted me to try Catalyst 11.2.

 

@7up, I have upgraded to a GTX480 now, so could you do me a favout and try cat 11.2 with Cat Ai on and see if the sky still spins or view is upside down..?

[7upMan]

BD, thats the version I have, and the screen is still stretched and upside down. Don't know about the sky, as it's kind of a moot point - if one thing isn't working, then the other thing not working doesn't matter anyway, does it?

[eigenface]

Hmm. I also have the upside-down stretched screen bug, also win7 64, with ATI Radeon 5800. But I don't have catalyst control center installed.

[Xarg]

I'm currently using 10.10, I had the upside down screen when using bloom and 10.2 I think. Disabling Catalyst AI has fixed all the issues. If you can't do that, maybe go back 1-2 revisions of the driver until you can disable it and try that?

[Bikerdude]

Yeah, so radeon users will still have to turn of catalyst Ai then.

[eigenface]

I rolled back my driver once, and the screen is still upside-down. I don't think I can roll back any more - this is a new computer and I only recently installed the GPU driver for the first time. But it WAS right-side-up at one point in the past. So frustrating. Is nvidia generally better than ATI, in terms of compatibility?

[Bikerdude]

@7up and Eigen

 

 

You guys need to uninstall the driver then run a driver file remove like "nasty file remover" then install the older 10.11 driver.

[7upMan]

I'll do that if ATT won't work. Haven't yet found the time to do that, the kids are sick and I have mountains of work before me.

[eigenface]

Nasty file removed does not run for me. It just reports and error, a missing dll.

 

Also, it appears to be impossible for me to install an older driver. If I try to install the older driver, it won't because I already have a newer one. If I uninstall my driver first, the GPU disappears from my the device manager control panel. Then if I try to install the old driver, it also doesn't install, for unknown reasons (possibly because the GPU is not detected?) If I "reinstall" the GPU from so it appears in the device manager, windows automatically installs the newest driver again. Kafka couldn't have planned it any better. This pisses me off so much. AMD GPU... NEVER AGAIN! Next time I'm getting nvidia, I don't care how hot the card gets or how much noise it makes, at least it will fucking work. So much for dark mod.

[nbohr1more]

Rather than the generic ATI driver, I would try to find the one from your Video Card vendor's site... That said, the Rage3d forums are advising using an application called "Radeon Pro" to restore the ability to disable Catalyst AI:

[eigenface]

Thank you very much. Disabling catalyst AI via radeonpro seems to work, allowing TDM to run right-side-up with the latest driver version.

[Bikerdude]

Why the fuck Amd removed the ability to do that, is just idiotic in the extreme.

[eigenface]

Because they think software entrenchment is more important than software quality. Getting people used to/dependent on your product is more important than making it work right - same strategy as microsoft.
