    This section provides information on known issues that may be experienced under the Windows Vista operating system with the latest version of Catalyst. These include:

  • Call of Duty: Corruption may be noticed when having Quad CrossFire enable and an HDMI 1080p display device connected.
  • Call of Duty 4 or Crysis: Color corruption may be noticed when running the games in full screen mode with Quad CrossFire enabled.
  • Company of Heroes: Setting the in-game options to maximum levels may result in the game exiting to the desktop after the game has completed loading.
  • Crysis: Playing the game at a display resolution lower than the native display resolution of a connected 30" display device may result in corruption being noticed when CrossFire is enabled and having the Catalyst Control Center scaling the image to full screen.
  • Linage II: Switching between the game and the Windows desktop may result in the desktop appearing brighter than its original setting. Exiting the game and restarting the operating system may also result in the desktop brightness failing to be restored to its original setting.
  • Unreal Tournament 3: The game may intermittently fail to launch when a map has texture detail set to maximum.
  • ZT: Attempting to play the Asian game in a windowed mode or at a display resolution of 1280x1024 may result in the game failing to respond.
  • The secondary HDMI Display may turn off when resuming from an S1 hibernation with an HDMI display connected.
  • Setting the desktop resolution to 1600x1200 or greater may result in green pixel corruption being noticed when playing certain games. This issue maybe noticed when using a system running Windows Vista and containing an ATI Radeon HD 2600 or HD 2400 series of product.
  • Attempting to play the HD-DVD title Harsh Times, School for Scoundrels using the Cyberlink player may result in block corruption being noticed.
  • An error message may appear when installing the display driver package through setup.exe.
  • Installing an ATI Radeon X1600 series of product into a system containing an ATI Radeon HD 2600 series of product with the display driver already installed may result in the operating system entering a continuous reboot. This issue may be averted by removing the ATI graphics driver prior to the installation of the ATI Radeon X1600 series of product. This issue may also be experienced with the ATI Radeon X1300 and 1550 series of products.
