ATI drivers problem(s)

[Iv000]

Mostly I have been playing new games like Assassins Creed Brotherhood, New Vegas and they have been running great.

I wanted to play my recently (a month ago) bought Medieval 2 Total War, but then I noticed, it lags, a lot. ( It didn't a month ago...)

But not only M2 is the problem, Thief 3, Doom 3 even Oblivion, all older games that I have aren't running like they should.

Thief 3 lags a lot, i get about 20 FPS.

Doom 3 won't even start.

And Oblivion without mods is running at 20-40 fps. (Usually, it was a solid 60)

 

I am blaming the new, and not so new ATI catalyst drivers.

I tried going back from 11.2 to 11.1 to 10.12. It's the same every time.

Now I am trying to install 10.11 drivers and see if they will work.

(Yes i know how to properly uninstall/install drivers)

 

If anyone thinks it is not my driver but something else, please post it.

And if anyone has had similar problems, post them in here.

Thanks.

 

EDIT: I feel stupid, really really stupid.

The problem was that the game files were fragmented. Only thing I had to do is defragment the files and it is running great again.

You (the guy who is reading this) can't imagine how stupid I feel right now.

Hmm...I'm getting no lag in Oblivion, Audiosurf, or TF2 on the 11.1 drivers. Edited March 26, 2011 by Illiad86

Thanks for the feedback.

I tried older drivers (10.9) still the same.

Probably some more software-ish issues, can't be hardware's fault since AC:B and other newer games are running great.

This is getting really strange...

I scanned for viruses and it found nothing.

Will post feedback if I get something.

And more help would be appreciated.
