    There may be a problem with the installer actually updating the driver. After installing please check if the atioglxx.dll file has been updated. The atioglxx.dll information should be as follows:
    File version: 6.14.10.11019
    Digital Signer: Not digitally signed
    Since the driver is not signed you should get a dialog during the installation process asking if you want to install the driver.

    You can also check your overall driver date and version in device manager. It should be:
    8.880.8.0
    8/29/2011

     Thank you,

    We have been working with AMD to try and help them resolve these issues. They have made a preview beta driver available which includes fixes for City of Heroes. The beta driver can be found here:

    http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles...42BetaWin.aspx

    Anyone trying out this driver please let us know about your results.

    Thank you,

    nVidia Optimus technology support should be live with Issue 20. Please let us know if this resolves your problem.

    No crashing here (actually crashing has been non existent since i17 unlike i9-16 when I crashed a bit), but are there plans to enable shader options for us Intel users, like another patch? I have asked around but I still don't know if the patch enabled shader quality options for anyone w/ Intel.

    I think (emphasis on *think* because I don't have a decent i16 scenario screen) the world scenario has improved for me after the patch, but the toons (player/enemies/general npcs) are still plain looking like I showed you before.
    Yes, the patch re-enabled previously available Shader Quality options for users with more powerful Intel integrated chipsets. Users with the old low end GMA 900/950 series chipsets have not been re-enabled as they will encounter characters rendering incorrectly.

    Intel's nomenclature for their chipsets has been a little confusing. There are two "965" and the older one is more in line with the capabilities of the limited GMA 900 series than the more powerful variants in the GMA X3100 line.

I have provided as screencap to explain why I cannot set the graphics any higher than the settings they were forced to at the release of issue 17.

    Any assistance and/or explanation would be greatly appreciated
    What Intel chipset are you using?

    Some users with integrated intel chipsets currently experience a degrade in the shader quality settings allowed. This should be resolved in a future patch.
