hello mike
there isn't a "client" workaround: i already asked heroes of newerth
developers and they replied me the only way is to switch back to 10.4 ;
i think Savage 2 falls in the same category.

Btw i saw newer ati catalist is out with 10.10, before opening a bug
with them i'll test both games with it, hoping. :-D
