The developers of ATi have released a new ‘Chuck’ patch that can be used in conjunction with Catalyst 6.6. This Chuck patch was not made to get the ‘überl33te’ Chuck Norris on your computer, but this update makes it possible to use High Dynamic Range in the game ‘The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion’ in combination with anti-aliasing. The developers of ATi have also ensured that two video cards in CrossFire setup can apply Alternate Frame Rendering. The patch for Oblivion is available from this page be downloaded for Windows XP x64 and the Windows 2000 and Windows XP combo. ATi says that The Chuck Patch is a proof-of-concept and that a number of bugs are still unresolved. Contrary to what we wrote before, the list of known issues is still the same length and consists of the same open bugs:

This special driver is provided to enable additional functionality for Oblivion. Specifically this driver will:

  • Permit High Dynamic Range Lighting (HDR) concurrently with Anti-Aliasing (AA) on RADEON X1000 series graphic boards
  • AFR mode for CrossFire (2 GPUs)
  • Note: You will need to enable HDR and disable AA in Oblivion while enabling AA within the Catalyst Control Center. This package does not include Catalyst Control Center.

    Known issues:

  • SuperAA with CrossFire in HDR mode is not enabled. If you have SuperAA enabled you will get the quality and performance of one card as opposed to two.
  • Rendering issues with grass shadows
  • On an ATI Radeon X1600XT CrossFire configuration, the game may intermittently crash if the resolution is set higher than 1600×1200
  • On an ATI Radeon X1900 series card, the game may crash while task-switching between the desktop and game (alt-tab).
  • ATI Engineering is currently investigating these issues. Updates will be posted as they become available.[break]
