ATI Catalyst 12.3 RC - flickering squares bug

[carbonic]

So, just tried the latest "soon to be" driver and this weird bug connected to the antialiasing came up, this Youtube should show it nicely:

Turning AA of removes the problem but is not really a solution so if anyone encountered the same and found a solution please do tell. Also, can't really go back as this is the only driver that makes BF3 stutter free.

Is the AA forced? or Skyrim's AA?
if Driver, what kind of AA?

I might try the 12.3 if it can force Driver AA on skyrim

Just the AA from options in Skyrim. However just tried forcing 8x nonmorphological Multisample AA from drivers, but didn't help, same thing happened.

Finally got it to work by using a workaround of using dll files from 12.1 and placing them in my Skyrim folder.
1. Extract driver
2. Find atidxx32.dl_ and atiumdag.dl_
3. Use the EXPAND command in the windows to expannd the dll files into fully *.dll files - example: "EXPAND inputfile.dl_ outputfile.dll" without "'s
4. Copy files to Skyrim folder.

Depending on the time of day I get flickering water with 12.1 / 12.2
So strange.

I've noticed a great deal of water/light/effects flickering/flashing with 12.x. I had to downgrade to 11.12 to fix the issues. Others have noticed this too, but unfortunately, downgrading doesn't work for everyone.

No biggie, I usually only explore when the sun is up

Well, if 12.1 causes you problems, then the trick I found can easily work with any other drivers so you can run Skyrim with the driver version you want seperate from the rest of your games

As I said when you hit the v.12.xx problems occur. I got screen flicker with 12.1 so rolled back to 11.12
