RBE v1.16 ready for download!

BAGZZlash · Oct 9, 2008, 09:14 PM

Get RBE v1.16 now!

What's new:

v1.16
- Minor bug fix concerning voltage settings on 2900 XT and some other cards.
- Minor bug fix concerning method 2 hack.
- Fixed bug that caused RBE to crash occasionally when cancelling the search for WinFlash.
- Fixed minor Acquire/Flash BIOS bug.
- Replaced EXE-packer because some virus scanners have been reported to raise false alarm for the old one.
- Fixed some minor file opening probs.
- Fixed a bug with checksum calculation. Actually, this was a bug by ATI again due to PCI standards violation. Damn, what a pain in the ass to find that glitch...
- Added option to enable the user to decide whether to write fan controller bug workaround settings or not.
- Added some device-IDs (thanks to TheCow).
- Added "recent files" section in the main window's start menu.
- Added system tray icon. God knows who will use it... :-/
- Added "-systray" parameter for RBE startup in systray mode only.
- Added option to make RBE run on windows bootup.
- Added saving the program's window position.
- Did some GUI work to make RBE look a little cooler (hopefully). Unfortunately, RBE's file size increased significantly because of this due to embedded libraries. I'm not sure if it is worth it so far but it enabled more cool looking features to come in the future. Here's what has been done in particular:
- Enabled themed styles for all supported user controls.
- Added some icons to several buttons.
- Added some more or less matching icons throughout the GUI.
- Replaced voltage combo boxes by boxes that can be right-aligned.
- Replaced some scrollbars by more modern sliders.
- Replaced program icon.

thanks for the update, but i get an error in vista64

Fastmix · Oct 9, 2008, 09:41 PM

Excellent work, more visual improvements than features but still very nice.

alpeck · Oct 9, 2008, 11:24 PM

Thanx.

Fixed my 2900 XT method 2 hack issue.

I get the same error.

Nrby · Oct 10, 2008, 05:08 AM

Thanks ... glad to say that it finally recognized my BIOS ... but that I still can't control the fan ... I changed the fan settings (which already seemed to be ok) to something that would sound like a significant improvement but nothing worked ... well from GPU-Z's point of view it worked, it is indicating a different fan speed that before ... but from the fan's point of view nothing new ... guess I can't get any deeper then this into my card so I will have to think outside the card :P

azazyl · Oct 10, 2008, 09:40 AM

Martin.v.r · Oct 10, 2008, 12:25 PM

Same error here on vista x86.

VuurVOS · Oct 10, 2008, 02:25 PM

Strange issue. I dont have it on my desktop and my laptop. Both have Windows XP Professional with sp3 installed.

Does it also happend when you start this tool in Windows Safe mode ?

ernstblaauw · Oct 11, 2008, 10:36 AM

Thanks for this great version. One minor thing: I cannot enable Powerplay on my HD4850. I attached my bios. Could you maybe enable this feature for this bios? Thanks!

The superior powerplay function is only for the HD4870 which doesn't have powerplay on the gpu level activated in the bios. This is already activated on every hd4850 so you dont need it.
