I wonder if anyone experiencing the same issue as me and unable to play this game without crashes with full graphics and forced to use the safe mode to play ?

Is anyone tried the FREE/Open ATI drivers ? how does it work out in general and in this game specific ?

I am using ATI 9800 Pro Radeon.

I am using a RV250 Radeon 9000 card. It s about 4 years old and not supported by ATI anymore.

With the free Xorg drivers 'radeon' or 'ati' the client didnt start, it gave the message 'graphic driver too old...'

I just tried the newest original driver 'fglrx' from ATI that supports my hardware. It is the legacy version 8.28. With this one installed, the game is workin just great!

Im happy now, hope you get it too.

LudvigCro - Problem being, installing the proprietary drivers officially screws your system if you want to uninstall them. You can't uninstall them without making something not work.

Also, they are propietary. Bad. Bad. Using them supports ATI's non-free driver crap.

Oh well...

Try Mesa 7.0.1 and use driconf to enable s3tc compression. it works for "older" not supported cards, at least for 9250, 9200 etc

Great! This worked for me. Fedora FC8 with radeon drivers and a radeon 9000 pro card.

Thanks a lot.
