Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Technical problems 'Couldn't create renderer'

Just throwing this out there.

Yesterday, was able to play fine 9.9 Catalyst Drivers.
This morning updated to 9.12 (posted 17/12) Catalyst drivers..... on startup got that error 'Couldn't create renderer'.
Rolled back to 9.9 drivers and game works again.

So if anyone else is thinking of updating just keep in mind that it may not work.

EDIT- Alright just some fiddling around with 9.12 drivers, I can get game to work if i alter graphicoptions.xml to 1024x768 res (EDIT again can work from 1360x768 or lower). My normal playing res of 1440x900 is not working (and was before driver update)

Wondering if game does some kind of check on startup to determine GPU and disables resolutions accordingly? if so, could it be having difficulty recognizing it due to it (ATI 4850, 512mb) having latest drivers and assigning default/basic resolutions?

This is a driver bug then, report to ATI?

Not sure if it is or not, figured i'd bring it up anyway and cover both bases. Main reason for my mentioning it was just in case anyone else came to these forums cause of the problem, I did.

But yeah, i'll be reporting it to ATI as well.

As I am constantly preaching to others...if it ain't broke don't fix it.

I am still using Catalyst 8.12 drivers simply because all my games work fine with those drivers.

The latest ain't always the best.

cheers
