driver conflict?

in Windows and General: PC, Network, and Other Technical Issues
Updated my graphics to the new AMD/ATI crimson and my game now gets to the new dawn splash screen before freezing.
I then have to ctrl,alt and delete to get back to the desktop to see an error gameclient.exe has stopped working.
I've tried reinstalling the game but no dice.

    mirror event ended today. I'm glad I got it done days before but seriously Cryptic. I uninstalled the game and I am reinstalling it to see if that fixes this issue. If nothing is done im probably gonna take another long break.

    OK so I completely uninstalled the game then reinsalled all 18 Gigs, Drivers are still screwed up to the point where even when its at the first loading screen Gameclient.exe screws up. This is really bad. It is my birthday and I did a ton of doffing the day before. I am pretty sad about this. I hope this can be fixed before Thursday December 3rd.

    This is definitely an issue between the drivers and the game, I have the same GPU and after updating to the new drivers STO just crashes on the splash screen, but I'm not reverting the drivers as Fallout 4 gains benefits from them, soo.. guess I can't play STO for now.

    I've also had some issues. I'm running Windows 10 and crimson on a R9 280X. I got it working finally by starting in safe mode and disabling post processing and AA. Still freezes on zone loading screen sometimes, but otherwise it's pretty playable.

    Anyone got a clue?

    Cryptic putting their name on the product is usually a pretty big clue...

    It's sad that a full year later and the AA is still messed up. Funny enough, another issue I started getting from the winter event last year is still not fixed either. Anytime I use headphones and combat happens, the game instantly crashes to desktop with no notice. They found the issue in their fmods, but they never fixed it. A year later, and it still crashes. A Year later and the AA still seems to be causing them problems. Given the fact that they're now having people entirely unable to play the game, maybe they'll get around to doing something about it before leaving on vacations this time, but again... It's Cryptic, so who knows.

    Yes new ati drivers are the problem, i have the same problem, that's why i installed a new windows installation on test disk with old ati drivers, so i can at least play winter event.

    For Heaven's sake, don't do anything brash like reinstalling the game or doing a clean install of windows. Just go to your computer management, device manager, display adapters. Right click on your vidcard (ex. AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series) select properties on the drop down menu. Click Drivers tab and click the Roll back Driver button. If you don't have any stored drivers, shame on you :tongue: Go to AMD website and download last version of the driver that worked.

    Amazing advice, worked for me after encountering this issue (would have been better if i had checked here before re-installing the game first!!!!)
