Dear community, I discover existence of these moded drivers (Amernime R.ID) on my flight sim web site : https://www.sas1946.com/main/index....ml?PHPSESSID=21f20a988f27ea827055e17d622c52ca Many of our fellow AMD graphics card users lately fell victim to the new "optimized" OpenGL implementation which AMD introduced more than a year ago. To cut the long story short, newer AMD drivers and their new OpenGL code cause massive issues with quite a few older games, including - unfortunately – IL-2 1946 WW2 flight simulator. The only way out is to roll back and stick to a driver version prior to the OpenGL "optimization". That being said, the last relevant AMD driver releases for my beloved IL2 flight sim are.. 22.5.1 22.5.2 But I Dont want to go back to older drivers since i am running the latest games also like Xplane 12 (it works under vulkan) which not work with these old driver, so i am trying to fix it with the current AMD drivers. (Even if i wanted, i can not go back to the drivers 22.5.1 as they do not support the Radeon RX 7900XTX I will have) After explained these flight sim compatibility issues, I would like to know if R.Id last driver can handle both of these flight sim : IL2 with old openGL protocol Xplane 12 with VULKAN protocol I went to the R.ID discord but I am lost in it and afraid to corrupt my system without having the installation process clear in my mind. Thanks in advance for your help
Hello, I see that you (Crazily6857) participate to this post and all is descripted in it: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/extracting-opengl32-dll-from-older-drivers.448991/#post-6158141 Flight sim IL2 1946 can not run in OPENGL without strange cubic artefact in place of clouds and on the ground also. In the config.ini, you can not activate Hardware shaders=1 which correspond to "perfect mode" in game options. Here is also a link to my flight sim web site where AMD issues are described with openGL mode of this game. https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,71255.24.html
I suggest you go to reddit and post into the AMD subreddit. Also tag u/AMD_Vik, he is very helpful. Also you can submit a bug report at AMD and mention this problem there. Even if these modded drivers can help, you will not fix the issue...you will only avoid the issue. In the end it's better that these bugs are fixed by AMD.
I bypassed the AMD mouthpieces directly and got the answer for this question months ago, AMD will not be returning deprecated extensions to the PAL library, there isn't a bug at hand its pure and intentional removal of an extension that AMD has no desire to retain. it should be possible to drop the old working opengl file into the game folder though.
Thanks Astyanax, but I think I already read somewhere that drivers openGL files to send in IL 1946 main folder does not work. but I can try anyway but I dont really know which files from 25.5.1 correspond to openGL files.???? Regards
I have found back a post but files does not work The only solution I found to remove strange clouds and ground is conf.ini lines below TypeClouds=0 TexFlags.DrawLandByTriangles=1 Impossible to have perfect mode (hardwareshaders=1) But better than nothing..... Regards
Sadly, in the same boat. Also, dropping the file in the IL2 folder will not make Perfect mode function.
Then, that means it's not picking the file. There is a method to change the DLL being used system wide with Gfrad https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/g...-radeon-software-installation-options.443504/ Howm though, you better ask in that thread. But, I belive it's worth your time.
