ATI Frame Drop Fix

Post » Fri Jul 01, 2011 6:44 pm

I've been experiencing major issues with BRINK as the frame rate is too low to play the game. As we all know there have been similar reports across the board with Brink users.

Just for kicks I decided to install additional Direct X files into the Direct X directory under the Brink folder to see if it my card/the game could benefit from it.

I'm happy to say that I can somehow play the game at a fairly good frame rate, with maximum textures and ambient occulsion :)

I want to know if this is an isolated incident or if its a possible fix to all the issues we've had.

I've attached some simple instructions in the spoiler tags in order for you to try it yourself.

Spoiler
1) Download the latest http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=35
2) Place the installer into your C:/program(x86)/Bethesda Softworks/Brink/DirectX directory
3) Install
4) Run the game


Once again, I'm really interested to see if this helps people as I thought i'd never get this game running on my 1GB 4850. Its important to note that i'm using the latest game update with the latest AMD drivers (11.6)
