Black screen during cut scenes – Resident Evil 5
Many people using ATI radeon cards have reported that the screen turns black during the playback of cut scenes in Resident Evil 5.
This is yet again another screw-up from our beloved AMD (formerly ATI) programming team.
To allow the cut scenes of resident evil 5 to play correctly, you must use the ATI Catalyst control center to disable “CATALYST A.I” and “ADAPTIVE ANTI- Aliasing AAA”.
If you still have a problem some people reported that reducing the frame rate limit from unlocked to 30 solved the problem, others said that upgrading Direct X helped.
If you still have a problem, let me know, we will work something out.

Correct slow and skipping music in Guitar Hero World Tour PC
Is the music in guitar hero world tour skippy as if you were listening to a scratched CD? The solution may be this:
The default bit rate of your sound card is set too high (studio quality or so). you should find the default bitrate in your sound card’s control panel and reduce it.
The easiest way to do this (in windows vista) is right clicking the speaker icon next to the clock in the taskbar and select ”playback devices” double click your default speakers icon, and click advanced.
Change the default format to 16 bit 44100 (CD quality) save everything and close.
Start the game now it should work fine. no more skipping. It’s time for you to rock the world with 5 notes :~
I’m currently working on enabling normal game controllers to work for the game to enable multiplayer band modes. Any Ideas?
Fix corrupted or missing hair in The Sims3
Let me guess, you have a stat of the art ATI graphics card and you are shocked by the corrupted or transparent geometries in “The Sims3″ specially the characters hair.
The reason is a malfunction in your graphics card’s “Adaptive anti-aliasing “. Open Catalyst control center and disable “Adaptive anti-aliasing”.
This same features caused a similar problem with Velvet assassin that I discussed before .
You can also read about the ATI driver and some of my thoughts about it here
Velvet Assassin transparent head fix
There is a bug in velvet assassin where the character’s head (and other objects in the game) appear transparent.
The cause of this bug is that the game is not compatibe with ATI “Adaptive Anti-Aliasing”, to fix this tranparency issue just disable that feature. you can find it in the 3d section in the catalyst control center (CCC)
This fix may also work on the same bug with GTA IV but I didn’t try it first hand.
Shaun White Snowboarding Crashing on PC
Does Shaun White Snowboarding Crashing right after you start it? Do you have Core i7 ? If yes, then please know that the genius behind this Dec-2008 game did not bother to make it compatible with intel core i7.the latest CPU technology. . Thumbs down on this one UBISOFT
You can always go to you boards BIOS and disable Hyperthreading technology. Some claim that it will you allow you to run the game but with very low performance. Me I will never change no bios settings for no game. Period
What about you?
play Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X on DirectX 10.1
Tom Clany’s H.A.W.X DX 10.1This game is the first game I know that has a DirectX 10.1 mode, anyway it is a little tricky to activate it.
First, I don’t know of any nVidia card that has DirectX 10.1 support, too bad for the new expansive nvidia 200 series owners. ATI 4800 series a fully compatible.
Second you must have Windows Vista Service pack 1 installed, not even the regular vista will do. Sorry.
Now you must have the game correctly installed and working, you maybe have noticed that there is a disabled DirectX 10 tab in the video options of the game, this trick will enable it as well.
Instead on running the game normally (double clicking the icon) right click it then select “Play Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X DX10″, (You can also browse to the game’s installation folder and open HAWX_dx10.exe instead of HAWX.exe )
You are good to go, now you can enable DirectX 10.1 from the new directX 10 menu in the game’s video settings.
This has been tested and found working on my ATI 4890.
Fix Dark sector crashing when changing resolution
Dark sectorDark sector crashed on me everytime I tried to change the resolution from the default 800X600 (Yes this game does not even try to behave (configure) itself in front of my 4890 OC ) to 1680*1050.
Thye solution is simple open the game’s installation folder, open the subfolder called Configs, double click the file DS.cfg, then click select a program to open it. From the list choose “Wordpad” and hit ok
The configuration file is now open, just modify the following two lines to match the your preferred resolution
Graphics.FullScreenSizeX=1680
Graphics.FullScreenSizeY=1050
save and exit wordpad
Congratulations, now you can play the hi-res version that you deserve.
