Heyyyy!!! Good news everyone ! I now tried the new AMD Crimson drivers and guess what! Aero Glass (developer 506) is working flawlessly ! Now I will try to downgrade to the latest "stable" 1.4.1 and check again ! UPDATE : Tested with the latest stable 1.4.1 for Windows 8.1 x64 aaaaaaaaaand... IT'S WORKING ! Yaaay... Problem fixed :-) Btw --- AMD Crimson is awesomeness pure!

Let's see... Submitted a bug report to AMD... Let's hope they will either find out the root cause or contact bigmuscle in case of additional questions.

Unfortunately with the latest experimental build it's still the same - produces 0 byte minidumps. Cut & paste from the debug.log : What I have noticed > I have removed the symbols directory and it even doesn't start to download new symbols.Also after flashing for several times it basically kills DMW (it's not running anymore).

bigmuscle - Is there any way we can help pin-point the problem (like to have a version with more debugging turned on etc.) ? Because it seems that in version 1.4.1 something is amiss as it doesn't gather any dump-details... And I don't believe this problem concerns only us two (me and dchh) but all the users running AMD + Catalyst drivers newer than 15.10 and honestly - I hate to roll-back to 15.10 due to a lot of new optimizations included in 15.11 & 15.11.1. Many thanks for your support.

Aaa... sorry.... I thought so (that I have the last one), but to be sure I have updated it once again... now I have only 0KB dumps with 1.4.1 and it is still not working with Catalyst 15.11/15.11.1 ...

Confirmed --- doesn't work correctly on Catalyst 15.11 and 15.11.1 Screen flashes several times, then reverts back to the non-aero mode (and part of my screen on the right side is like cut out). I managed to gather some dumps, packed them and uploaded here : http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/jv6NjOoo/file.html from debug.log (I cut out my key) > [2015-11-17 11:54:25][0x13A4:0xCA0] Hook
