Yeah i'll be skipping it too as i don't have ToV, Nice find though.

after reading that, i was like... oh, maybe i will need it.


If you have any CoH at all, once you patch to 2.500 or above you're actually running ToV. The big patches they put out to make the games compatible, actually gives you the expansion - so ANY CoH players that have an up to date version, could get that crash.

After doing a clean install with the new 9.8 hot fix drivers my HD4770 performance is back on track. If you noticed any decrease in performance in any game or benchmark this hotfix may be the trick.

no. its a hotfix, not a new driver. It just adds stuff that never made it into the 9.8s

I thought all the Hotfix was was to make the driver compatible with AGP. If so then perhaps there should be significant improvements with this release. I can't tell with my P4 regardless, but it would be nice to know.

VR HMD Oculus Rift S + Quest 2
Software Windows 11 pro x64 (Yes, it's genuinely a good OS) OpenRGB - ditch the branded bloatware!
Benchmark Scores Nyooom.
I thought all the Hotfix was was to make the driver compatible with AGP. If so then perhaps there should be significant improvements with this release. I can't tell with my P4 regardless, but it would be nice to know.

no, that would be an AGP hotfix.

This is a "fix the CoH and ghostbusters bugs" hotfix.

Has anyone used this with the RE5 benchmark app? I guess tonight I'll try with and without to see if there is a nice difference. I'm at work right now:ohwell:

It still does not function properly in Directx 10. The Directx 9 bench worked now without changing the name of the exe. Before I had to change it to FEAR. Now it seems like they just activated the DX9 exe and the DX10 still has major problems when you get to the 3rd portion of the variable test. It slows down and flickers. I didn't even bother with the fixed test since the variable didn't even work.
