4.12 Drivers Not Working with DHMod

Thread Starter 
Has anyone been able to get the new 4.12 beta drivers from ATI to work with DHMod? I want to try these out since there is now only 13 hours left until the release of HL2 .

BTW, one more question. I want to know what everyone with an Area-51m with a 9700 gets for framerates currently in cs:s. I have a feeling my laptop is not performing up to par with steam games. I have tried quite a few driver sets, including the newest Omegas.

Look for a fix because Patje's DH mod only supports up to 4.9 I believe. He has posted a link to fixed files for the 4.11s and 4.12 betas. Just go to www.driverheaven.net and search the forums.

Having messed with the 4.11s I didn't see much improvement, but your milage may vary.

CS:Source with the 8.05s from AW I was averaging a not so fantastic 40-50 fps, but it was playable. However once I jumped online to play and my fps went down the drain, I'd see 8 fps at times of heavy action.

We'll see if HL2 runs on these. If not, time to upgrade (to that mysterious new AW vidcard upgrade in the sky) or time to sell it for me.

These drivers are wicked. My 3DMark03 score is now 3544. This is up from 3399 the last time I ran the benchmark.

My CS:S video test skyrocketed to 74.9fps . Last time I did the test it was around 40... I am so happy right now .

Sorry to replay late, but point the DHMod tool to the DRV folder, and it will mod the ini files in there. Then install using device manager - update driver, let me choose then click HAVE DISK, point it to the drivers, install. Then install CPanel afterwards.
