This is what i use. 

Need a workaround/hotfix asap - and i will not downgrade my drivers just for 1 game - the newer driver give me a bit more performance and is running great.

So how to fix this ?

And if that's the only thing that will work? What then?

First: other Viewer like Firestorm work without problems. So its a Viewer3 problem, not AMD/ATI. 

And they should pump out a hotfix withhin hours after getting massive bug reports/ crash logs.

The current driven and even the newer 13.10 Beta are great - its just SL that doesnt like it ^^

They probably didn't get "massive bug reports/ crash logs" when they rolled it out to the RC channels.

But, speaking of which... Have you submitted a bug report (aka JIRA issue)?

[DJCryonic]

Yes i did. They anwered with: we cant do anything, no official hotfix avaliable right now.

I should switch to Firestorm oder patch my client with an extracted fix from Firestorm (on my own risk, nothing official). And i should update my Viewer3 every week blah...

I was expecting more - this is a major issue that hits anyone with ATI card and one of the latest driver releases (13.4 is working fine, everything new - not. Currently we have 13.9 released and 13.10Beta - what i`m using right now).

And this is almost half of the community who is playing on windows with desktop PCs or laptops with ATI/AMD cards (pretty rare).... So i dont know how this issue got trough the beta-server..
