So, after upgrading to the latest and greatest fglrx driver in linux, I can no longer play Lord of the Rings Online in wine.

Incidentally, Catalyst 9.9 on Windows also causes problems with the game. The game just appears to thread-lock in windows as well..

Unfortunately, rolling-back a driver update in linux is not an easy task. So until AMD fixes this, I am unable to play in *nix.

Just thought I'd throw it out. AVOID CATALYST 9.9. FOR ALL Operating Systems.

I see no problem to up-/downgrade drivers with my script. Must be a stupid distro which you are using ;)

Well, I use ArchLinux - and the drivers are only available from the AUR (Arch User Repository) and only the latest versions are found there, I can only find 1 version of anything, available from AUR..

Just change the script in the tarball you downloaded from AUR
