Cannot utilize Rage AMD fix drivers.

Post » Thu Jun 14, 2012 8:19 am

I'm getting the infamous GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex not available error, however, if I install the latest or Rage AMD driver fix, RAGE then just crashes to desktop with the old "Rage has stopped working" error and the driver update also destroys my general display (the catalyst display centre refuses to run, and none of my other games work). I've tried updating all other drivers, tried reverting drivers, etc, followed the usual standard protocol for getting a game running but nothing is working.

Can anyone please provide me with a solution on how to fix this blasted problem? I just used all 20gb of my monthly bandwidth downloading this game (cursed Australian bandwidth limitations) in the hopes I could spend a month playing the game whilst it renewed, however I'm stuck now with no bandwidth and no game, I feel a bit ripped off especially that tech support wasn't able to fix it for me and eventually stopped responding.

Comp specs:

Core i7 720QM 1.6ghz
4gb RAM
ATi Mobility Radeon HD 5730 with 1gb vram
Plenty of hard disk space.
Win 7 64 bit

Any help would be appreciated! Please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not send the the thread off topic. If there's an answer here, I want it to remain for others to see. Nothing is more infuriating than googling a topic and finding a thread that is spot on regarding your issue and then ends up going offtopic onto some stupid amd vs nvidia war.

Also, if required, here is the debug console log:

Have you tried the newest ATi driver? There was some mess earlier that ATi screwed up several Rage-specific drivers, but the newest one (as far as I know) should work:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonmob_win7-64.aspx

EDIT: I know OP said he had tried the latest ATi drivers, but I'm not sure if he referred to just the Rage specific driver.

Yes, unfortunately =( I'm currently running catalyst 2010.0122.858.16002; for some reason, anything later that's branded by AMD rather than ATi doesn't seem to work. My desktop gets stuck at 800x600 with no graphics acceleration (window scrolling and other stuff is laggy, slow etc, and games cannot init the device driver).

Kind of sounds like a driver conflict were some parts of a old driver wasn't uninstalled.
There use to be a few driver clean programs you could use to clean any remaining
files that didn't get removed with the uninstall. Not sure what those are now, but a
search should turn up the up to date ones or someone might post those and there links.

Anyways a driver clean is where I would start, also do it after each driver tested till you find one that works for you.

I've literally spent about two days trying every driver I can under the sun, although anything from post Jan 6th this year causes "Rage has stopped working" to show up. Anything earlier and I get the console message =(

I'd try Driver Clean or Driver Sweeper: http://www.google.com/search?q=driver+clean&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

Have tried, but sadly no resolve. Apparently it's an issue with ATI cards to utilize Opengl from what I've heard.
