Crashing with Dynamic Lighting enabled

Hello! More of a question than an issue.

Using an ATI 4890, I found that yesterday I was crashing all the time during ground combat, it's just hang for a second then crash straight to desktop. I disabled Dynamic Lighting after a friend suggested it and, hey presto, no crashes afterwards.

Is this a known issue that's going to be fixed on release, along with the AA problems, or will be just have to put up with it?

Edit: I've noticed quite a few ATI users having the same issue. This seems to have fixed it, for all those.

    Just a quick bump for those having similar issues.

    Just another bump for this, because I was experiencing constant crashes whenever I'd get into combat in the ground missions (Radeon 5770 w/ 9.12 drivers) and disabling Dynamic Lighting fixed the problem entirely.

    Oddly enough, space combat was never an issue with Dynamic Lighting enabled.

    Same for me, R4850. Disabling stopped the crashes.

    I have allot of crashes. Can't seem to stay on for more then an hour on a good run. On average it crashes after about 10-15 minutes.

    I am using a ATI 5770 card. didn't think to try disabling the dynamic lighting. maybe that will help.
