Hi gamers.
I would like to get some comments from people playing this game with an AMD graphics card.
What GPU, what driver are you using? What problems do you encounter? Do you know if AMD and Croteam are working on getting the bugs fixed?
I started playing that game over a year ago on a HD5850 card with the Catalyst drivers that were available at that time. This did not work well, and even though I liked the game, I stopped playing it after the "Under the Iron Cloud" level. Some texture flickering really did annoy me.
Now, I have an 7950 graphics card and with Catalyst 14.3beta it looks much better and plays smoothly for a while. But there are still major problems.
When I come to a "new" area of the game (example: entering a building) the game freezes for a second or two. In some occasions it even froze my whole computer (I had to reboot). These short freezes are also noticeable in the lead video sequence.
There are corrupted graphics in the "The Silent Riddler" level when I'm using the torch. In some areas everything is fine, in others I see only rotated textures - those corruptions stop when I leave the crypt.
I have activated the Serious Sam 3 beta program in Steam to get the newest fixes from Croteam and use the latest Catalyst driver (14.3beta).
Cheers,
mibo
PS: Please, no posts with the word Nvidia in it. I'm not interested in those.
PPS: When I let the game automatically detect the best settings for my machine, it sets GPU to LOW - which looks ugly. I play the game in HIGH settings 1920x1080 resolution.
