thanks downloading

Its exactly the same version that was 'leaked' a week a go. Fantastic ! No fixes then if you already are using the 'leaked' set.

Need to wait yet another month now for any sort of fix for the problem some of us are having with artifacts.

Looks to be the same... I hope some are able to play on Friday when they get the game otherwise these forums are going to be stuffed full of folk with the artifact issue.

From Guru3D.com:

The files' date is 5/16 for official release and rflair's one is 5/5. Some files' size is different. So, I think the official one is much newer.

[Thr0tt]

May be slightly different sizes but I can confirm they don't fix the issue.

I'm getting some terrible issues (not Arma2 related, strictly) with the new 9.6's on my HD 4850 512MB. Whenever trying to enable/disable a screen display, I get the red 'bars' that are used for the load tests (on the primary monitor)... and they just don't go away, they stay there until everything locks up and then the system reboots. Fun times. Had the same problem with the 9.5's (though, less frequently).

It got so bad, it wouldn't even initialise the screen on boot... had to uninstall the drivers in safe mode

Back to 9.4's I go, it seems. Though, if anyone has any ideas... I'd happily take 'em

Just installed the official cats 9.6 that were just released, 10 days diff on the file date and some files are diff in size also (compared to early leaked release 9.6), all I can say is, stunning job, personally im seeing a very good performance increase here.

[moosenoodles]

Just installed these, im seeing a very good improvement here.. no poping of textures no lag when at a base even if its on mass fire, turning around and running in said location is no diff all smooth and instant, all on very high.

Strange stuff but seems good so far.
