AMD will fix DX9 Game Related Adrenalin Driver Issues With a Hotfix

AMD will fix DX9 Game Related  Adrenalin Driver Issues With a Hotfix

Two days ago it was widely reported on the web that AMD graphics card have had issues with certain (older) DirectX 9 games. The issues started with the release of the new AMD Adrenalin drivers which offer some really nice new features and updates. 

The Adrenalin drivers seem to cause issues with a handful of 10-year old games running on the older DirectX 9 API and a growing number of people are complaining about the fact that AMD hasn't done and isn't doing anything to address the issues. Some of the games affected are crashing at startup: C&C3 Tiberium Wars, C&C3 Kane's Wrath, C&C Red Alert 3, C&C Red Alert 3 Uprising, C&C4 Tiberian Twilight, Battle for Middle Earth 1-2 and Witcher Enhanced Edition.

A technical support engineer from AMD responded on its official support forums that it is "unlikely to devote any valuable engineering resources to this issue.", shortly hereafter the web exploded.

 

 
However, a tweet from Terry Makedon just obliterated what initially was relayed by that AMD employee. Terry is leading the driver and software team at AMD, above you can read his responses. And yes, if Mr. Makedon states it's gonna be fixed ..  trust me when I say it will be done.

Of course they are gonna do it since many many AMD users on the community forum threatened them with "never buying an AMD graphics card again" . Even if they are gonna fix the issue , i'll keep in mind their attitude (which was basically a middle-finger to the gamers) when i'll have to choose between AMD and Nvidia.

“Well unfortunately we are all humans and someone made a human mistake. I am unable to read and verify everything that any AMD employee posts about our software. Any media can contact me for a formal statement at any time though - none did! ;-)”

Its a problem with lots of website's these days, they publish half a story and after go look up the facts long after that. Better to be fast then to have a properly checked story.

There was absolutely no chance AMD wouldn't fix it. It's just completely absurd what an insane statement their rep made earlier.

I bet it wasn't bullshit and was just a realistic statement; until the huge uproar came to be with many people saying they won't buy their cards anymore.
So it really forced their hand to fix it.
