trying them now, lets hope they are not as disappointing to me as the 6.3's. They gave me some weird graphical issues with weapon colours and odd colouring on enemies.

Before I go though messing with these...and I am groggy from little sleep...are these developed for X800 series cards too? Or just the 1000 series?

I have been running on the same old drivers for two years now...never had a problem so I figured why fix something that is not broken. Then again I have been playing Oblivion and I could use all the help I can get with that game....

Yes, they will work on the x800 cards. Just remember to uninstall your current drivers fully and cleanly.

This was a problem with Guild Wars, not the ATi drivers.

The issues were with GW and the drivers. Ive been testing today and the 6.4s do indeed fix the varous issues with the new DX9 engine. The distance fog, and accuracy errors all seems to be gone. Id suggest installing them for all people who're buying factions or are having issues.

That strange considering rolling back to cat 6.1 or 6.2 solved the problem.....

I've seen both situations where a company was at fault, or Anet was at fault.

Take Nvidia for example:

GW changed GuildWars and breaks existing Nvidia Drivers that worked before (Blue Screen of Death / Reboot on exit of GW). Anet's fault.

New Driver's cause texture issue's (aka early 8x series before they were fixed). Nvidia's fault.
