It's good to hear a game studio actually acknowledging that the issue are on their side. I wonder what they might try to make the pipeline swallow. :P

EDIT - nope, it's not that either. As ObiWan said, we maintained the ATI brand until 2010, and so a lot of "ATI" cards support GL 4.1 with both open and closed drivers. So I don't understand the statement either.

I'm guessing he meant ATI cards stopped around 2006 when AMD bought it.

@higuita
Since the 6000 series every AMD card is using the AMD brand, and not ATI, I think that's what he means with his sentence.

Catalyst support opengl 4.5 (https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pa...yst-OpenGL-4.5) and even the open source drivers have full opengl 4.1, with many of the higher opengl levels features already implemented! (http://mesamatrix.net/)
Also, catalyst drive have bugs, but many games also have problem with catalyst drivers because they are less permissive about errors and more standard oriented, where nvida is usually more permissive and more opengl extensions oriented. At least in this case, they agree that the problem is in their code (probably some opengl code shortcut that nvidia accepts, but catalyst don't). I, at least, like honest developers and they will for sure get my money for that!
