Well I'm very dissappointed to say the least, I thought maybe with an update I'd get a boost in my game performance, but instead the game has become non-playable with very low fps count, laggy movement, and enormous texture pop. All I did was update to the AMD 12.3 driver and now I can't play the game.

I'm guessing my only solution is to erase this driver and go back to the old one? :/

yes?

Lolz, the game now loads just fine if I use "small texture cache," but with the 12.1 driver I played just as smooth, only with "large texture cache."

Ya this is stupid, I'll go back to 12.1

EDIT2: Actually I was partially correct. Though the game now loads well for the most part, it has very frequent stutters where it won't load at all, and these can last 2 seconds. It can be like playing for five seconds, waiting 2, then repeat. Of course after that you get some time without slowdowns.

Still, I'll go back 12.1 where it loaded perfectly.
