SFC3, 9800, Cat 3.8 problem

[gmt]

There seems to be a problem with the catalyst 3.8 drivers on a Raedon 9800
running Star Fleet command 3.
You cant see your shields or any weapons firing.
Catalyst 3.7 work fine.

Is it me or are ATI drivers getting "Buggy" again ?

With each and every release there appears to be as many bugs discovered as
the release is intended to fix.

Really putting me off upgrading, when even my 2 year old 8500 still doesn't
have a fully stable driver.

What are the options ?

It sure isn't Nvidia!

Ignore the problems that don't affect you? There have always been problems
the same as this, but in real usage I have only encountered one compatibilty
problem across my Voodoo 3, Radeon and Radeon 9000 Pro cards (the Radeon and
Black and White). As long as you can find a driver release that works with
the game you should be OK. Usually it's a particular setting that causes
problems and you can turn that on/off through a tweaker program (which was
how I resolved B&W problem eventually).
