Guru3D archives a good bit of them:

https://www.guru3d.com/files-categories ... ivers.html

After you scroll to the end of the driver listing, there will be a link for archived drivers. Click that and then you get links by month where you can go back even further past 2015 releases.

Looking at the wrong numbers? I forget exactly how the ATI/AMD drivers present their driver pack numbers... haven't been using their GPU's since around 2014 or so. It should be somewhere in the proprietary GUI or in the advanced details of the core file itself.

For instance, int the nVidia GUI, you can pull down the help menu and get two different numbers to look at. Under System Info, you will get the package number that you see on the websites (397.93), but if you hit the About link, you get the version number of the control panel (8.1.940.0). If you pull things up in the Windows Device manager to look at the driver file's details, you get 24.21.13.9793.

Poke around in the ATI/AMD GUI to look for a version number that looks like the format you are seeing at the websites. It used to follow a sort of date stamp that indicated the year/month of the the releases (17.11.xxxx would be a November 2017 release). Not sure if they still follow that format though.

Hardware and tinkering aren't going to make much difference as this game is ancient and crufty, you need to find a set of very old ATI GPU drivers to get better compatibility (I use driver pack 22.19.164.4 which makes the game work swell at the costs of rare crashes).

I can find the pack below this and the pack after but not this one
I tried going back to the original drivers that came with my GPU but that made it worse
