This update doesn’t contain anything major besides some bug fixes that have plagued us for a while now. The only new feature in this Catalyst Suite is the support of Adobe Flash Player 11 hardware accelerated graphics, including the A-series and E-series APUs. Fixes include things like Rage texture corruption, bezel compensation working correctly in Far Cry 2 and a screen tearing fix for displays in clone mode. Other than that there’s really nothing else to report about this update. Below is a download link along with a list of fixes and known issues.
