For Windows users this is pretty much the usual fayre of bug fixes and performance improvements (release notes here). Here are some of the highlights:

Crysis: Setting the CatalystT Control Center->Advanced View->3D->Standard Settings to Optimal Quality and having certain in game option settings no longer results in the game failing to render properly. Further details can be found in topic number 737-33395

Doom 3: Setting the in game options to Ultra Quality and the screen size to
1600×1200 no longer results in the image next to the text failing to be rendered. Further details can be found in topic number 737-32603

Hellgate: London: Flickering is no longer noticed when quitting and then launching the game when the in-game setting are set to their maximum levels. Further details can be found in topic number 737-32604
