I have an ati X1950 pro, and I'm not seeing the lense flares.
I don't see why you wouldn't see the lens flare... All I've done is modify the existing halo DDS file with a different outline. That would suggest the ATI cards are rather selective in what they choose to render. This is not a new effect per se, but rather just a clever texture trick! It's quite subtle - make sure you're not just missing it.

I'm using an nvidia myself, so I could be wrong. Could you PM me some screenshots? It might help with the diagnosis. I might also send you a differently-encoded DDS file to try, if you're willing to test. This was a DXT5, whereas I believe DXT3s are more common...
