This is still causing the new comers problems, the game barely runs if you have an ATI card and don't know about the problem. Surely it should have been deleted or replaced by now!!!

Agreed. It "tricks" the GPU into thinking its running a desktop program so the GPU powers down to conserve energy / reduce heat. I know personally it affected the HD4870. It doesn't affect all cards because the "PowerPlay" feature that dynamically controls this sort of stuff is different with each model.

True. It doesn't happen on nVidia cards, it's an issue with how each Ati model and their drivers handle the card's underclock: if it thinks it's running a desktop application it powers down to lower heat and save on power consumption.

Once I updated the game when the last patch was relased, I thought that it was the patch what reduced my performance. But then I thought about UBI logo... Once deleted, my fps got doubled on my mid-low settings from 30 to 60...

i5 2,66, 4gb ram, ATI 5850 here
