CTD at Startup using AMD & ENB v.228+

[Aiyen]

Due to an AMD update in preparation for their next line of cards, they have done something to how they compile various shaders.

(I am not going to pretend that I know the technical aspects. )

The result is that certain AMD cards will not be able to run with ENB v.228+ and the new water shaders that Boris has put in.

(At this time I do not know if it is up to a certain card model, or a certain driver version! I will update as I find out! )

 

Due to this Boris has said he discontinues support for AMD cards, since he cba. to deal with their odd ways of updating their software.

If this changes in the future is as always hard to tell. But if your game CTD at startup after you installed this version of ENB and you use AMD card´s then this is the reason why.

 

I will keep this thread as sticky for as long as it is required, and update on any progress as I find out.

 

Update: v.229 is out, which is an attempt at making it work at the expense of performance for everything else. Initital testing by some still CTD at startup.

 

Update: Seems like there is hope at the end of the tunnel and there is a solution after all! The next few days will show, and then its parallax water for all!

Boris frequently seems to denounce things that displease him :P

 

I seem to remember it was an Nvidia driver update last time.  Hopefully this will get worked out in the end.

Saw this the other day and read up on it some more and I must say just when I thought ATi might be ok... they just had to muck things up.

Well it seems like Boris has found a way... luckely. So I will remove this from sticky again since it is not largely relevant... at least people are reporting that its working again.
