A small warning about AMD 14.X (Mantle) beta drivers

[Nabetsu122]

For those that use AMD/ATI APUs and Graphics cards, there is an issue with OpenGL games and the latest beta drivers, 14.1_beta6, where textures does not load, or becomes a wireframe design at the texture seams. With the inclusion of Mantle, two of the libraries that look for OGL do not seem to work properly. If you are planning on updating to the beta drivers, then make sure you backup "atio6axx.dll" and "atioglxx.dll" from the 13.X drivers before performing the update. After the upgrade, you can place them back, or as this post points out on Guru3D, you can place them with Java if you desire.


Not 100% certain if this is the place to post this, but since it affects other games with OpenGL (eg: Towns, Team Fortress 2), I feel like this may not be a BTW tech issue.
