RichL Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 **EDIT.... Not a Leadwerks problem, but it did help me identify it. Finally decided to give Leadwerks another go (the new tree painting features are looking awesome) and have run into what I assume is the Radeon driver issue (again). Cannot even start Leadwerks, goes straight to the error "Exception_access_violation" Just thought I'd post the details of my driver here. Have tried the latest beta (29-Nov-2015) and the current "release" version. Same error, so I am pretty comfortable is stating that AMD has broken something again for me. Driver details Radeon Software Version - 15.11 Radeon Software Edition - Crimson Windows Version - Windows 7 (Service Pack 1) System Memory - 16 GB CPU Type - Intel® Core™ i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz Graphics Card Manufacturer - Powered by AMD Graphics Chipset - AMD Radeon™ HD8970M Device ID - 6801 Vendor ID - 1002 SubSystem ID - 7104 SubSystem Vendor ID - 1558 Revision ID - 00 Bus Type - PCI Express 3.0 Current Bus Settings - PCI Express 3.0 x16 BIOS Version - 015.032.000.003 BIOS Part Number - BR44465.003 BIOS Date - 2013/04/23 04:09 Memory Size - 4096 MB Memory Type - GDDR5 Memory Clock - 1250 MHz Core Clock - 900 MHz Total Memory Bandwidth - 160 GByte/s 2D Driver File Path - /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Control/Class/{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}/0001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I just installed the latest 15.11 driver with an R9 280 and have no issues.

RichL Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Thought I'd update everyone. (edited original post as it implied that this was a Leadwerks error....which it is most definitely not) Tried some other OpenGL apps and found that they we also failing, it looks like some were running happily off the Intel HD4600, It depended n what I was using...oddly one that confirmed it was Virtualbox... So it would appear in my case (an Intel/AMD Radeon laptop config), that 15.11 Crimson is not going to work. Steps for this were. removed intel and AMD drivers, and reinstalled the latest for both, go the same result removed the AMD drivers (so just intel 4600HD running now), works like a charm again reinstall latest AMD (redownloaded) 15.11. failed again magically find a copy of the old 15.3 Beta drivers (Josh recommended the last time AMD messed up) .. Works perfectly now. So note to self, never, ever, ever update from the 15.3 Beta drivers....and same up some money to replace card with an Nvidia (this laptop has a replaceable GPU) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
