ATT beta version (UNICODE support)

Ray Adams · *Last edited by Ray Adams; 04-25-2010 at 07:01.*

Starting from build 1.6.9.1336 (I hope) ATI Tray Tools will be fully UNICODE aware application and can be translated to any available languages.

Here is a one permanent link for all beta versions:
http://cid-a50350ea7a969f0c.skydrive...c/attsetup.exe

Previous versions can be found here:
http://cid-a50350ea7a969f0c.skydrive...Tools%20builds

Please keep installation package of last non-unicode beta version on your HDD drives! Just in case.

____________
Because I have forced to change a lot of code - expect tons of bugs!

About translations:
Now all .ni files must be saved as UNICODE. If you use notepad.exe just open old file, select "Save As..." and than select "Encoding" as UNICODE (not UTF-8 or anything else!). I unable to manually translate all current language files (except russian) so please everyone who has support for his native language just open and save as UNICODE your file. Also please test it with last beta of ATT before postings link to it.

Thanks

This beta version doesn't have anything new related to the hardware. Just GUI updates and some internal optimizations.

hi Ray!

Porting code to Unicode is interesting...

so, in your message, you raccomend to maintain the installer of nonunicode installer on pc... what do you intend?

what kind of issues can a generic user be affected by for this new version?

I decided to maintain the download on my site of the 1.5.9 and 1.6.9 versions anyway, what can I do?

No! I mean do not delete attsetup.exe for old , just in case new version will not work at all for you.

ok, all right. so:
I'm maintaining an history version of your releases: can I remove from the site the 1.5 version and leave 1.6 version only?

If an user need previous versions, it will be available on the history page...

Ray Adams · 10-02-2008, 10:45 | posts: 4,724 | User is Offline

yes you can

1.6.9.1336 isn't changing clocks for me in Windows Xp X64. I set 2 profiles, 2D 200GPU 500Mem which works ok in desktop, I set a 3D 650GPU 1000Mem which works ok in games, I then set the 3d for applications that require 3d mode in auto overclocking and 2D for 2D mode just like I always do. I then started the monitor and its at 200+500 I then start a game and it's slugish as hell and come out of the game and look at the monitor and it never changed from 200+500.

Hello Ray!

I Have some problems with the new betas 1.5.9.1314 and 1.6.9.1336.

Every time i want to start an 3D Application, the application crash cause of the ntdll.dll

. if i close ATT, all 3D Applications works fine. I had no Problems with the older betas.. but i deleted the older ones and can't find older versions to download.

I have a HD4870 and use Vista Ultimate 32bit

I don't know what is a problem. Try to update DirectX runtime to last version.

it worked!!! thank you very much

I was really shocked cause i love ATT for controlling the fanspeed and clockspeed of my HD4870

Hi!

ATT 1.5.9.1314 (old topic is closed)

SMU and Direct3Dtype is missing from flashOSD. FlashOSD color settings is none. White color is invisible many times.

Biggest problem, if ATT run, my online race game is unplayable. I get pressed key under game, but I not press these keys.

Thx.

Any information on the changes between 1.6.9.1336 and 1.6.9.1337?

BTW, are you planning any changes to the whole '3D Renderer/Artifact Scanning/Find Max for GPU/Mem' combination? Because the idea is really great, but overclocking my 4870 resulted in a hanging system in 3dMark06 (the test with the purple and green light amongst the trees) at speeds below what was stable according to ATT. Furmark did the same, but I heard it crashes too easily on ATI hardware (even at stock speeds) to be a good test for stability...

And thanks for the software

. I prefer it above every GPU tweak tool I could find and try

No plans yet.

Build 1.6.9.1340
http://cid-a50350ea7a969f0c.skydrive...c/attsetup.exe
Returned back "Memory used by process" and "API Type" in monitoring and OSD. API Type works only in OSD module. It will be disabled in Monitoring.

Also because of returning of that old values internal index of default monitoring sources is shifted. So you have to recheck your OSD and Monitoring

hi ray,

do you confirm that ATT CrossFire functions still compatible with Vista only?

Ray Adams · 10-03-2008, 10:25 | posts: 4,724 | User is Offline

Dont' have XP to check it.

dulemk · 10-03-2008, 10:30 | posts: 50 | Location: Macedonia | User is Offline

I just notice minor bug/conflict with everest ultimate edition 4.60 so it is better if I mention it.

When I want to benchmark with everest while ATT(1.6.9.1337) is working, everest tray sensors go nutt.
And after closing everest, he wont start until I kill his process.
I know it is conflict between ATT & everest because After uninstaling ATT everest work just fine.

I don't think this is related to the ATT. Both Everest and ATT use safe technique to work with hardware on low level (same as RivaTuner, GPUZ-Z , ATITool). So there are can be no conflicts.
Which version of Everest did you test?
I just tested with 4.60. No problems.

Also try to change opt_nowait_i2c_mutex=1 to opt_nowait_i2c_mutex=0 in atitray.ini file. Close ATT before make changes

Build 1.6.9.1340 - when trying to set up a profile - using custom setting both the drop-downs for AA and AF are garbled and can't be set

same here: since Unicode Versions Antialiasing & Anisotropic Settings aren´t working correctly. In both cases you get only one chooseable option with cryptic signs.

Another thing: Let me inform you that beta ATTs are running with Crossfire on XP and older than HD3XXX. I enabled Crossfire through Catalyst Control Center and it works. ATT -> Hardware -> Crossfire shows CF enabled too. Not tested yet if that switch works...

Thanks to Ray for his nice software!

Greetings

Hi Ray,

Would it be possible to re-introduce "Video Card Memory Usage" to the OnScreen Display?
I find it very useful when working out optimum performance in some games, and how many 3rd party Textures I can get away with in Oblivion! ;-)

Also, if we're talking about potential translation, the current version uses American English rather than International / British English (eg. Color rather than Colour). Care for a translator? ;-)

Pete.

2 Sinker_UK. Did you read prev. posts?

For translator, not for me

Thats strange. Let me remove some old decoding units from ATT which seems is not compatible with UNICODE yet. Need a time to write new ones.
