Does cats 10.6 crash Dirt 2 for anyone else?

metalmackey · 30 Jun 2010 at 16:45

Hi Guys,

Has anybody else had crashing in Dirt 2 and cats 10.6? After a while, the game will freeze and then I get the "dirt 2.exe has stopped responding" error message. Other games seem fine but I've gone back to cats 10.5 to see how it goes

I keep getting that as well on DIRT 2 MP but going back to 10.5 didn't really solve it.

Me too, I have always had that problem on Dirt 2 every now and again!

I've just stuck with 10.5 so far. Heard nothing but complaints about 10.6. And since I'm still enjoying Dirt 2 I don't really wanna chance it for little-no gain.

no problems here, yet

No issues for me either using cat 10.6

No problems here using the steam version with a 5770 on 10.6. When I get that error it's usually down to an unstable overclock if it's mid-game.

Only issue with DiRT 2 is sometimes on exiting it doesn't close for some reason, and sometimes when starting up it starts windowed.

Anyone know if they're ever going to add a Logitech DFGT profile to this game? I know you can set up manually but it doesn't control the menus, which is frustrating, and although there is a reg hack, I'm pretty sure that'll screw with the games that do support it. Has there even been a patch for DiRT 2 yet?

Nope works fine with 10.6 here.

It's just MP. Single player works fine.

Cats 10.6 are awfull!

I rolled backed to 10.5, after getting blank screens and major corruption in BFBC2!

Yeh loads of random crashes in dirt 2 with 10.6, moved back to 10.4/

I also always have the problem with the steam version where the game doesn't quit properly.

Going back to 10.5 seems to have fixed the crashing for me

Yeah ATI are getting lazy, 5000 success has gone to their heads and they are letting us down on the recent drivers, buck up ATI.

metalmackey · 1 Jul 2010 at 14:12

I wonder, if ATI and Nvidia went back to drivers for each series of card instead of unified, would they be more optimized?

+1 Terrible drivers. I get lock ups in games as I launch them. I am on 10.5.

I cant run Dirt 2 on any of the drivers without getting a displayport failure within 20mins

I don't trust display port, some cards (mine included) have voltage issues with display port where the screen will randomly turn off and say no signal. No idea how to solve it but dvi works all the same

10.6 for me just gives me a BSOD!!!!!
