ATI Rage 128 and Tomb Raider conflict confirmed by ATI

Last week we reported a possible problem with Tomb Raider and Cache Profiler. Of related interest, an ATI Support page notes an issue affects Rage 128 based products with driver release 4.0.1 with the special patch (4.0.1 update) installed. After installing the patch, the system will hang when attempting to play Tomb Raider II when configured for RAVE mode. The page notes other games that may have this problem. ATI is working on a solution. Meanwhile, the work-around is to avoid using RAVE mode. [Note: we first commented on this problem last November.] (thanks, Blair Sherman.)

By the way, Tomb Raider II 1.0.3 is now out.
