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.
