What you can say about bugs and crashes in Rage with 11.11?
“While AMD today released Catalyst Version 11.11, we recommend you stick with the 11.10 Preview Version 2 for the time being. Once an update is released with the fixes put in for RAGE, we’ll let you know. ”

Are ATI driver developers sleeping?
@nap
Nope it is just no one gives a shit about RAGE when you’ve got Battlefield 3 and MW3
Battlefield 3 still hangs for me on my 5850 Crossfire machine! 🙁
I’ve been trying all drivers since 11.9, having reached to 11.1 plus 11.1 cap 1 now and it still hangs with crossfire enabled.
I am now pretty sure that my system needs a reformat, because there’s no way AMD could have screwed so bad for so long, on such a grand title.
Still I wonder why all other games work fine with crossfire! wtf?
I meant 11.11 not 11.1 😛
I’ll be sticking with 11.10p2 these drivers are just abortions on my machine CTD’s and diplay driver restarts absolute crap
