"Some OpenGL games like Enemy Territory Quake Wars no longer experiences random corruption."

...sure, sounds good enough for me. Particularly if City of Heroes falls under that category of games. I'll take the plunge. See on the other side... or not, if Bad Stuff Happens.

EDIT: Er. Or at least, I would, if it weren't midnight, and I had to turn into a pumpkin. <.<;

Tomorrow night, then! What's the latest driver that doesn't result in crashycrashcrashcrash, so I know what to roll back to just in case?

I'm clinging, scared, to 11.2. Think I will watch this thread and see what occurs.

Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

I had been using 11.2 for the longest time as well, but made the jump to 11.9 a few weeks ago and have not experienced any issues. In fact, I had everything turned up, but was getting problems with AA on 11.2, but not so anymore.

This is with a 6850 card.

I have 2 machines running 11.3 with no issues and now 1 running 11.9 with no issues.

I'll see what je_saist reports.

Well. I have upgraded my drivers to 11.10, and have played for about half an hour. It was at roughly this point that CoH would crash when I was still running 11.8 or so. With 11.10, it's still running. Also, no more "flashing" with disappearing objects anymore either. Whee.

Understand that I was using 11.2 before updating to 11.10. YMMV. Seems to be fine.

Retraction: Crashing still happens. I'm rolling back to... 11.9? Whatever it is.

I've been using 11.10 since Friday morning with no new problems cropping up. I've sometimes had flickering in graphics-heavy zones after playing for a few hours, but that was happening before I changed drivers.
