Running DX10 games on win 7 issues

Combat squirrel · 13 Feb 2010 at 12:09

As title, running ATI 5770 1gb, 10.1 drivers dated 1/27/10

Tried to play:

supreme commander
SC forged alliance
Avatar the game

And they all just blank screen and i have to reset, now when I 1st ran avatar it worked...and was in DX9 mode, i turn it to DX10 and it does the same as those other games, just a grey screen.

Weirdly the only game that runs in dx10 and works is crysis and crysis warhead

Got latest drivers, whats going on ?

How do I force something to run in dx9 mode ? iv searched the reg and nothing, no options that are obvious in the games directory such as config files etc

im stuck

Erm, I would suggest it something to do with the ATI drivers mate because I've been running Windows 7 x64 since it went RTM and have played the top 2 games you mention many times without any issue at all.

By the way both Sup Com and SupCom:FA are DX9 titles, I just checked my box so its not a specific issue with DX10 you're getting..

Hmmm thats annoying, iv just tried to play WIC also, and same thing happens.............well it loaded the 1st time no problems, then I exited, went back to play it and got 2 blank screens again

just what the hells going on, I have latest drivers for everything....

Sounds odd but have you tried installing Direct X9?

I've seen issues in the past with slightly older games on Windows Vista/7 resolved by running that installer.

Uninstall your drivers and download them again?
