I need my Omegas!!

Gamma is still broken in Unreal based games running under OpenGL. Also Call of Duty is still hardlocking. Addtionally, this driver causes yellow textures in Descent III OpenGL.

ATi's drivers have really been spiralling downward since the 4.1s.

 

[big4x4]

Call of duty hardlocking????? I have used the drivers from 4.1 to the newest and have never had this problem. Right now, I am still using the 4.2 since they seem to be the best. Have you found other drivers to fix your problem?
