Any news on the amd catalyst problem?

I was just wondering if there was any news on the amd catalyst bug. I am dying to play this game but i can’t because of this. Thanks

Hello, yes. I have some news, but unfortunately bad ones…
We tried to make a patch about it, but we find out there is not easy solution for this. We have a solution for the Beta, so the Beta will run, we can promise about that.
But to fix the Alpha would took some days of development only for a few people and a few days in the Alpha. For this reason we decided to postpone the fix for the bug till Beta.

If you are really curious about the game, you can try to get the older cataylist driver and uninstall the crimson one.
We also contacted AMD about their bug, but we didn´t received an answer about it yet.

Crytek has made an update to the engine that solves the AMD Crimson crash, have you guys deviated from the oficial Cryengine that this update can’t be incorporated?

Btw you can play with Crimson fine if you disable the feature causing the problem that i don’t remember now what, but you told another user of the forum how, i did that and was able to play the alpha fine with no crash.

Would this feature be the Global illumination perhaps?

No is something about reflection

I found the reply telling how to bypass the crash until a fix comes.

here is how:

"
There is a way you can start the game. You can put into the system.cfg or the autoexec.cfg in kingdom come the term “e_svoTI_Active=-1” or “e_svoTI_GsmShiftBack=0"
But the game will crash in some place anyway. Especially if you can see water. And that is the problem.”

Never add the crash near water but i’m not sure if that will be true for everyone.
