Don't you mean ATI? Rather than Nvidia Tongue
I m using a 9800gx2 atm so I cant test this set of drivers !

And by the way , they were released at QuakeCon 2 days ago by AMD^^So they are legit 9.8Catalyst

I already tried 9.8 and the problem persists.

THELUKESTIR, that was one of the reasons that I wanted to figure out if there was a workaround to it.....wasn't complaining bout anything, I was mearly searching for some far fetched solution Smile

cheers
downgrade to 9.3, yeah sound easy. but its not.

i have 9.3 here and its impossible to install :

- directly over 9.4 -> impossible
- uninstall 9.4 -> then instell 9.3 im possible
- install through system manager -> impossible

i changed to 9.8 now and together with 4gb ram it seems to be enough.

most games crash anyway till memory would be full Tongue
Dudes....i have 9.4 for a long time and nothing wrong ever happened here...
I realized that the problem occurs on Windows XP with less frequency. Undecided

Nah, it's the same on all OS, be it XP (x86 version), Vista, or Windows 7 (x64 for those)
Still the same in Catalyst 9.8 Undecided
Hi, first time poster !

I wanted to point out an advice given in this thread describing the problem : http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=852&can=1&q=leak

Quote:to use old open gl version simply copy atio6axx.dll from 9.3 into your dolphin folder and your problems will be gone.

I tried that and it seems to be working very well. I have now catalyst 9.8 installed on my windows 7, with atio6axx.dll from catalyst 9.3 in my Dolphin directory and there's no more memory leak.

I never even seemed to get the memory leak, Never had any problems really and im On 9.8 catalyst Big Grin For Windows 7
can you please upload this file ?

i tried to take it from 9.3 install but its a .dl_ and renaming to .dll doesn't do the trick.
also i cannot install 9.3 as my card needs driver 9.4+


thank you very much in advance Blush
