Has anyone installed these drivers and have noted very sluggish window resizing times? The same issue was there with v13.4 but not v13.1.

If so I wonder if the same issue is going to happened in WitW.

I did not have it with my HD4350 using 13.1 legacy, I got it with 13.4 and HD6450. And yes, affects WitW as well.

I agree with Dennis - both WitE and WitW are VERY slow in screen resizing. A new patch came out today from AMD but I have not installed it as of yet. That may change the situation.

Today's release is version 13.9. I am downloading it now and will install and test it out. I have an AMD HD6670 series video card.

No change. So if it bothers you then I would go back to version 13.1.

Trouble is my other games seem to work better with it.

I think it is how WitE and WitW draw the maps and the screen that does the effect. I use a lot of graphics software and the new drivers are getting better stability in all of the other software I use except the resize from these games.

Yes, you are right, it takes around 7-8 seconds. When I had an older driver, it used to take around half, I guess ...

Will this issue be addressed?

By whom? AMD is turning out new driver updates every few weeks. I don't think there is much that 2by3 or Matrix can do about it, it seems to be connected to an operating system/driver issue that they have no control over.
