ATI Radeon openGL terrain flicker fix

For anyone interested:
After having squashed the flicker problem with driver updates months ago, I recently discovered that my latest driver updates increased performance across the board, except the flicker bug returned! I found a simple way to keep current with video driver updates, but at the same time keep the flicker bug at bay.
In your windows\system32\ folder there is a file named atioglxx.dll if you hover over it you will see a file version. The one I found that eliminated the problem for me was version # 6.14.10.3541. I renamed my most current version of this file to atioglxx1.dll and copied the older version into the system32 folder. It does not require a reboot, and if it does not work for you then delete the file and rename your original file back to its original name. I hope that helps at least some ATI owners.
NOTE: Attempt at your own risk! If you didn't understand the above paragraph, then please don't go playing with your system dll files, as I will not be responsible. That being said, it is an easy file swap that doesn't even require a reboot. Enjoy!
