- * Now the drivers should work a LOT better on laptops.
* Fixed FireGL card support, now it has full CP support and fully working OGL.
* Changed the installer graphics.
* Added a new option in the installer to select a faster OLG driver instead of
just using the latest one, this driver runs Counter Strike like butter.
Important note: The special OGL driver will NOT work on x800 cards.
Many thanks to NGO for their input, this was their idea.
* The package keeps growing in size, the drivers will keep being distributed in
compressed CAB format to save some bandwidth, it must be decompressed using one
of these tools (latest version): WinAce, WinRAR or WinZip. Then run the extracted
file to start installation of the drivers.
