Seeing the notes on the preview:

... I don't have reason to update.
"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.

CoH in WQHD

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.

Going to 11.9 now due to flashing with 11.2 - will report back after about an hour of gameplay
Hokay, 11.9 seems ok for now, but I have yet to iTrial with it in. ran out of time tonight so I'll give that a go tomorrow. Will post the results
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.
Any brave souls want to try out 11.10?
