Okay for some reason I don't think the driver updated properly for some reason. Still running Windows 8.1, but after rebooting following the installation of the beta driver, I tried Titanfall and the models and map elements still glitched out and obscured my vision.
So on a hunch I went and checked the driver version itself. The version I have, 10.18.10.3308, didn't match up with the beta version, 15.33.0.3496.
This has happened a couple of times when I was trying to update the graphics driver before, and I am not entirely sure why my computer is doing this. Is there some function of Windows 8.1 that prevents the update of drivers, or am I missing something?
