unreal25 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I am getting BSODs with 11.11 Catalyst driver. Anyone else tried them out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pursuit Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I do but no BSOD at all, could not install the one from AMD website!! but one from svl7 direct link works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted November 19, 2011 Founder Share Posted November 19, 2011 There's a big thread about 11.11 on NBR right now. Seems nearly everyone is getting a BSOD with this release so the verdict is STAY AWAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Thanks. (I don't go there anymore.) I reversed back to 11.10. BTW, noob question. How does one use application profiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply download the latest one install it. Nothing else needed unless you have an existing one which should be uninstalled first.

unreal25 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 OK thanks. Done all that... I was basically just looking for a way to get rid of jagged shadows in Skyrim, but they are still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 same here guys for me 11.11 and 11.12 both login to windows to a bsod... had to revert to 11.10 with 11.11 caps shame not sure if i was doing it wrong...but got a 11.12 files and even has updates to Intel GPu and stuff maybe someone want to check it out... i scanned its not a virus... even shows correct revision for catalyst on install...hey Unreal i found this for you dont have Skyrim yet but try thisThe default shadows in the game a terrible: blocky and shaky. The tweaks address the shadows, turn off vsync (I had to also disable it in the nVidia panel), and make the mouse more manageable.With these changes, the game has very smooth shadows on objects, somewhat OK shadows of people, and my frame rate can hit 80, even in a town. Also, I have all settings maxed out.I will also mention that the game did auto-update itself at some point while I was messing with it and that must have fixed some issues I had when it was released.Change or add the following:Changed:bTreesReceiveShadows=1bDrawLandShadows=1iShadowMapResolutionSecondary=4096iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096iBlurDeferredShadowMask=7bFloatPointRenderTarget=1Added to [Controls]fMouseHeadingYScale=0.0200fMouseHeadingXScale=0.0200Added to [Display]iPresentInterval=0+ thisUpping the shadowresolution is important, but having a shadowdistance around 3000 is what seems to work for me to get rid of the blocky shadows. And blurShadowMask of 7 seems really high. 3 looks good too.andBe careful with turning off vsync it seems to make the game less stable. What I did was removed mouse acceleration and kept vsync on and turned my sensitivity up. It helps but there is still that "sluggishness" associated with vsync. Also Skyrim.ini is the file you want to edit for things like FOV, vsync, and mouse scaling (NOT mouse accel). I think you still have to edit SkyrimPrefs for that. Don't know about those other options though.also check this link this guy seemed to make some very good adjustements...Skyrim Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreal25 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Thanks mw! I'll try these things out. I managed to get it working somehow right now (even thought inside the houses the shadows still look pixelated), so I did play a bit today. However even with that, I think I still spent more time trying to get this game to work properly than actually playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks mw! I'll try these things out. I managed to get it working somehow right now (even thought inside the houses the shadows still look pixelated), so I did play a bit today. However even with that, I think I still spent more time trying to get this game to work properly than actually playing. I finally just got it last night... i'll try those settings too... they helped at all? or is that what you mean outside helped but inside still pixelated. anyway playing 1080P on everything checked and and maxed even fxaa and AF at 16X all ultra or high if thats as high as some go... but AA off. I need to set fraps to see fps... but it was pretty smooth most areas in introduction.... looked jaw dropping... i first tried all that with 8xAA with edge detect in CCC and SSAA i always have set as default over Adaptive or MSAA... anyway obviously it felt like 5-20fps at times. so no AA for now but all on ultra... which drew my attention to the shadows the only ugly thing in the game lol... character shadows are the ones i noticed. Let us know what you find makes it look better... also should i try those ones i posted above? for reference i always use vsync always... 60fps max for 60hz display... i'll let ya know what the fps actually is with the no AA above...
