Two days ago it was widely reported on the web that AMD graphics card have had issues with certain (older) DirectX 9 games. The issues started with the release of the new AMD Adrenalin drivers which offer some really nice new features and updates.

The Adrenalin drivers seem to cause issues with a handful of 10-year old games running on the older DirectX 9 API and a growing number of people are complaining about the fact that AMD hasn't done and isn't doing anything to address the issues. Some of the games affected are crashing at startup: C&C3 Tiberium Wars, C&C3 Kane's Wrath, C&C Red Alert 3, C&C Red Alert 3 Uprising, C&C4 Tiberian Twilight, Battle for Middle Earth 1-2 and Witcher Enhanced Edition.

A technical support engineer from AMD responded on its official support forums that it is "unlikely to devote any valuable engineering resources to this issue.", shortly hereafter the web exploded. However, a tweet from Terry Makedon just obliterated what initially was relayed by that AMD employee. Terry is leading the driver and software team at AMD, above you can read his responses. And yes, if Mr. Makedon states it's gonna be fixed .. trust me when I say it will be done.
