Looks as if all the "optimizations" over the last few releases has broke (again) radeon driver support.

Lower end cards, although suitable for SL, crash under certian (most) conditions is SL.

Windlight
Catalyst 8.1 drivers
9700 Pro 128MB..
(Yes I know its old, but it has always wroked and works well if other ram/ graphics intensive game and it is supported by SL)
3 GH Pentium 4
Winblows XP
Service pack2
1 GIG 1066 ram
Defragged
Cleaned
HD, 84% available space

While in edit mode, selecting objects, or just clicking on the screen causes crashes.
Walking too fast causes Crashes
IM causes crashes
Crashes for no known reason after login and clicking in world
etc. etc, etc...

All settings are set to low:
Open GL turned off
Draw distance is 64 meters
Particles are off

All radeon Settings turned to performance and Application preference


Can we PLEASE, get some support for these crashing issues.
My wife and I have sent at least 70 crash reports in the last month

Thanks...

Try Dissabling "Catalyst AI" in the 3D settings of the Catalyst Control Center. It din't "FIX" the problem for me but sure did help reduce the crashes.

Install the latest version of .NET Framework. ATI cards especially require this.
