Yea, I've had a lot of issues with ATI when using Arch or linux in General. I actually have a script I have to run in the terminal to even get steam to boot in a way that allows me to launch games. I have been considering purchasing an Nvidia card but my ati one works for everything fine in my windows setup, I just was more testing development in Linux so I wanted to use it. I'll look in to finding a cheap nvidia card or maybe i'll just dual boot on my laptop.

I was using it as a way of learning more about how to work linux. I didn't like performance on Ubuntu or Mint. At least Ubuntu with Unity wasn't acting as well as I wanted it too. I don't have to use Arch, I just have been working on other things on it. I'll generally just use leadwerks on Windows anyway as my laptop has only windows at this point and I am on the road a decent amount.

Do you guys use the official catalyst drivers because they are not officially supported anymore and it seems like a pain. I searched the AUR for the fglrx but I am not sure what one to choose.

I'll give that a shot. Everyone had recommended not using catalyst and instead using the open-source graphics. I'll make sure to instally fglrx and see if that works. Thanks.

I am using an ATI Radeon HD7970. I'll try to use the terminal to load the program. I have issues with Steam as well as I have to load steam via the terminal but the other games I have installed have never had an issue, only this software. Thanks for the tips.

Does anyone else use Leadwerks in Arch? I get the error "Failed to initialize graphics. Please ensure your graphics hardware is compatible and install new graphics drivers" when I try to open the engine. I have all the drivers I know of installed as I can play cs:go, tf2, and trine 2 with no issues. Has anyone found a way around this?
