Driver problem with some games?

Yeah, I'm aware the Macbook (black) isn't a gaming computer by ANY means. The problem is (or might be) a lot simpler to fix than all those video card problems. ATI isn't meant for gaming, but I can run X-Plane 9 perfectly fine. It runs very well on my Macbook, even with multiplayer, but I'm having a small problem with the trees. The only way I can make it enjoyable is to disable the trees, which I don't want. The trees spas out and it looks like there is a laser war going on across the landscape, with flickering textures and all. It's chaotic and VERY annoying. It may not seem important to you, but to a flight enthusiast like myself, bush flying is half the fun! Here's some screenshots:

Two of these are with the trees, one is without.
Is there something I'm missing like a driver update? Or is this just not an option on my Macbook?
Thanks in advance.
Other info: OS X 10.5.6

There are no separate driver updates. Any driver updates would be included with updated system software.
You might try the games at lower resolutions to improve frame rates.

  • Satellite L870-16C -display problems with some games

    Hi,
    I've bought this laptop recently and it turned out that i have tearing problems with some games.
    But really not with all games, just some of them (ex: the witcher, borderlands, trine...).
    So i was wondering what the problem could be?
    So far, i've heard it could be a v-sync problem, but everything i've done regarding this didn't change a thing.
    Is it just a software issue or could it be a hardware problem with the graphic card?
    I'm considering sending back my laptop to Toshiba, so i wanted to know if this was the only solution (and if it was a solution indeed).
    For information, it's a L870-16C with a ati radeon HD 7670m graphic card (driver version: 12.10-130101a-151427E-ATI), operating on windows 8 64 bit.
    Does anyone have some clues?
    thanks

    What game problems do you have exactly?
    Could you be more precise?
    You said that you have some problems but NOT with all games.
    Therefore I dont think that you have an hardware problem
    In most cases (any) games issues are related to graphic card drivers in my long gaming experience, all issues which I had in the past were related to compatibility problems between driver and game.

  • Strange problem with some specific games (that should be compatible)

    Hello everyone.
    Got myself an Iphone 4 on day one: it's my first apple product and I'm really happy with it (I'm comming from the windows mobile world/****).
    But I soon discovered a strange compatibility problem that only happens with some games, even after they got ios4 updates (and those games are working on friends iphones 4).
    I thought it could be a software issue so I tried to restore my phone, then re-sync it, but still having the same issues
    Problematic games are Worms, Chaos rings, Texting of the bread and Cro-Mag Rally.
    When launching Worms, only a quarter of the screen shows up, with messy graphics.
    For the other 3, I can enter menus, everything seems fine until the actual game launches, wich gives me the same results as the one described for T17's Worms: only a small portion of the screen shows up, flikering with messy pixeled graphics.
    I'm starting to wonder if this could be a hardware issue, even though tones of games are working perfectly (including 3d heavy ones like Epic citadel or Archetype)
    Any help would be greatly apreciated!

    Sounds like those games are corrupted. Delete them on your phone, then delete them in itunes, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash. Then sync your phone to insure that all traces are removed from your phone. Then re-download them in itunes(you can re-download purchased apps for free), sync them back to your phone. See if this fixes things.

  • I have an ipad mini 1st gen 64 gb (wifi only) and i have problem with some of my apps. These apps have lags when you play with them for a few seconds the apps are having lags are call of duty strike team, gta San Andreas and nfs most wanted.pleas help me

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • Problem with video games

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with video games on Windows 8.1.
    On my Windows 7 I could play all games without any problems.
    Now I installed Windows 8.1 and I have problems with running video games: lower FPS, game breakdowns and sometimes even texture problems inside the game.
    I tried to reinstall both Windows and Graphic drivers. I tried several versions of drivers.
    I have Radeon HD 6870 and AMD Phenom II X4 955, SSD disk, 12 GB RAM.
    The point is: the same games works perfect on Windows 7 but doesn't work right on Windows 8.1.
    Can you, please, tell me if is there any other solution except going back to Windows 7 ?

    Hi,
    Please verify if these games are compatible with Windows 8.1.
    If yes, please download and install the proper version of game file and driver.

    Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
    Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

    How can I get a full history of our purchases?  We had some problems with some downloads since 5/25/12.We were charged for items that said "Free"? Help

    iTunes Store menu > View My Account...
    Sign in and select "See All" in Purchase History.
    You can only see them in "batches" of ten. As far as I know there is no way to obtain a comprehensive summary.
    The prices are tabulated in that list. If they were supposed to be free, and they show that you were charged, then click the arrow next to the suspect purchases and click "report a problem".

  • Problem with some files with Adobe Audition 3.0

    Hello everybody, I have a problem with some files. For example, when I open a .mp3 file, it says "The selected file it's not a supported file type". Instead, with other .mp3 files all works fine. What should I do? Thanks for the attention.

    I strongly suggest - in fact this is probably the only thing you can do at this point - that you have a look at the FAQ here, and do exactly what it says.
