    cool thank-you
    i really do appreciate all the feedback i can get ,
    if it does fix some issues like real bad framerates, then im sure both you and uber will be happy that we have narrowed it down to un-optimized shaders for pre-lighting and the post effects.

    I'm not sure if this will help as I don't really get bad performance unless ive expanded across multiple planets, But since ive been using amd drivers 13.11 beta 3, I haven't had a single crash, its been awesome. Ive actually been able to play 2 whole games against the A.I. and they lasted quite a while. Anyway the drivers are leaked from Asder, You can either try them drivers, or wait for the official release, but this driver does include a newer reworked openGL driver.

    Not sure if there is the leaked mobility driver yet.

    As always, make sure to completely remove your old driver with either driver fusion or AMD's uninstall utility before installing a new driver.

    just have to gimme some time to test it, I have to re download and install it on the lappy.. I'll give feedback good or bad but as bradz mentioned seems that driver has a reworked openGL driver, that is more then likely the biggest culprit after messing around with shaders on minecraft this is an issue with ATI cards along with various other techniques.

    @ Max, yes I am... Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Though I only have 6GB RAM though

    I am, a 7970 Ghz under win 7 x64. Every game I had since the latest patch caused my game to crash, and since installing this driver, it has been working great.

    i only posted this fix up as a temporary thing to help ATI users get gameplay while the dev's fix the issue,
    if the driver is a better option i would suggest going with that, but if that fails hopefully this is a good second option so gamers with ATI's can still enjoy the game

    I haven't had to edit any files. Please double check before installing the driver as I'm pretty sure this is not for mobile devices. The driver should officially be out later today or tomoz.

    :)
    it not an update, it just stops some shaders loading, ones i think are making ATI cards run slowly

    So here the results. First i tried all without you package. Same thing beginning the game Black screen then the fps drops to nearly 0 then the game starts and the fps arround 30

    Then i tried with your package and i can see that the trees disapeared in the world manager. But also here the same thing when i start the game the fps drops. But then maybe the fps are a little bit higher but only 5-10

    screen solution is 1280 - 1024

    here you can find the file
