17.12.2 does NOT fix the issues
Ghosting issue when HBAO - FULL is set:

Graphics corruption/flickering in Starfighter Assault:

PC:

After further investigation - this only happens when HBAO is set to 'Full' in game, but turning that off is a massive graphics downgrade.
Please fix!
Thanks, this is a good temporary workaround for people who don't want to downgrade.
For me HBAO doesnt solve anythin on my rig, as i said When you enter any game mode letters on load screen, and overall game performance drops significantly like a powerpoint presentation, after a tiny bit it stabilizes itself but then aggain after slight delay starts randomly lag and turns back into slideshow, i tried with turning VSync off and on in both ingame and Radeon Settings, AMD optimized shader on and off doesnt help at all though. Other game i seen that happens with is The Division and heard from other people they got issues with CoD etc.... So quite of number of simmiliar id say identical issues with latest drivers :/ Until AMD resolves this for BF2 i cant upgrade from old 17.7.2 cuz every other driver since the 17.7.2 corrupts or makes other games i play unplayable. Hope this is fixed soon.

You seem to be having a different problem - or at least multiple problems in addition to this one. We're not talking about general performance problems in the new drivers, we're talking about a very specific bug (which you can see clearly in our videos) in a specific game. The specific bug this thread is concerned with can be obviated by disabling Full HBAO, but that's a workaround and not an actual fix since it's a huge downgrade in graphical quality. I suggest you open a thread for the specific problem you're having, since it seems to be different.
The game recreates the shadercache after every game/driver update, that's why the stutter, it needs a massive ammount of CPU resources to create the cache and can be a slower process on a lower clocked i5 like yours. But this is only created once per map, next time when you load the same maps it shouldn't be an issue.
Btw. Enhanced sync also has issues with this game, and can cause similar constant stuttering.
jcemeier Probably, apologies though. Yeah i opened up a thread describing issues.
Szaby59 Yeah i know that, tried everything regarding shaders in both ingame and outside of game in Radeon settings, didnt panned out. Sadly whatever game mode i play while you load in game stutters like mad, rather drags. I tried exiting, re-entering the same map, each time same thing happens. Could be ehanced sync causing issues even further. As i said on old 17.7.2 has no issues yes does lag a bit before game loads but after that no issues like you said. Idk...
Hey everyone, just wanted to tag along since it seems that I have the exact same problem.
When im using 17.11.2 drivers game just crashes whenever I play new Crait map, but only in third phase (weird). But when I upgrade to 17.12.1 I get the same "overlaying shadows" everywhere indoors as you do + occasional crashes on the same place (Crait 3rd phase) as with 17.11.2. I have not idea what to do.

Hey, not sure if you saw but we established that you can get rid of the ghosting by turning HBAO down from 'full' - which is an imperfect solution since it's a significant graphics downgrade, but here's hoping AMD can fix this in the next driver.
Same graphical issues here as well with Adrenalin on a RX Vega 64 and R7 1700X.
Also cant get the Radeon Overlay to work on any of my games
According to the release notes 17.12.2 will probably fix the corruption in SA, but the HBAO ghosting issue is still there, I was able to reproduce it.
Edit: Endor starfighter map is actually unplayable. Constant flickering/artifacting.
I have the exact same issue as shown in the original poster's video.
Clean install of new 17.12.2
RX480 8GB
Win 7 x64 Home Premium
Same here. On top of this issue, for me game crashes 9 out of 10 times when starting these two Starfighter Assault maps (other maps run fine). Tested both 17.12.1 and 17.12.2.

I have this exact same problem.
Hello !
Same for me, I installed the game today, tested on 17.12.2.
On the first mission in campaign i have this trouble and many other...
For me just put only "HBAO" on the settings menu fix this problem.
As a reminder, HBAO is a Nvidia technology...

What I have is that Starfighter Assault in Battlefront 2 crashes after loading screen, I am unable to play this mode but the other modes run perfectly +60 FPS in High setting.

Yes. Anyway, I fixed all the issues I had downgrading to 17.11.4 Every issue I had is gone, crashes, stuttering, 100% CPU usage, etc. Do not install Adrenalin 17.12.X it will literaly ruin your experience!
I solved the stuttering by resetting shadercache and manually removing the files from (Winkey+r, then paste it and enter): %localappdata%\AMD\DxCache
There are some files you can't remove just ignore those.
Then open Radeon Settings, Gaming tab, add starwarsbattlefrontii.exe to the list, select it and in the Graphics Profile set "Shader cache" to ON.
Launch the game, you'll have 100% cpu usage, since the game/driver is recreating the shadercache. Now just wait - this is important don't launch anything, stay on the homescreen, it can take up to a few minutes (depending on the HDD/SSD and CPU speed) but once the CPU usage dropes from the 80-100% you can start playing. After this you'll notice that some maps will have 100% cpu usage in the first 15 seconds (if you start a new game you won't even notice since the pre-match timer is 30+ seconds long), but after that the game should work fine.
Important: DON'T enable DX12, it will cause massive stutters and framedrops just like in BF1.
The graphics issues like the ghosting, corruption are still there though.
I am having huge issues with the 17.12 drivers myself I have gone through and tweaked settings enabled profiles and amd optimized textures this and that, and just poor performance in genreal since these drivers hit.

Everything worked perfect before this last update worst thing is i cant roll my drivers back, tried a clean uninstall and went to reload the 17.11.4 drivers and it auto rolled it back to these garbage 17.12.x drivers. AMD needs to fix this half of my games are unplayable I am ready to go buy a Nvidia card, after swearing them off for crap customer service 12 years ago on a DOA card I got and they refused to replace and have been loyal to AMD since.
I'm no longer experiencing ghosting or artifacts. I updated to 18.1.1 today, but there was also an update to Battlefront 2 - not sure which of the two actually fixed it.
Yep, 18.1.1 solves the ghosting and 99% of the corruption. Didn't play on every map yet, but seems good.
I just found out that I have heavy flickering in the first TIE fighter mission (after escaping from Endor), even with the latest driver (18.2.1). Changing HBAO settings doesn't affect this issue.
Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas on how to solve it?
It's not only there but in SA too. I noticed when the game nearly maxes out the VRAM then the flickering starts. Try lowering your settings - in my case resolutionscale was set to 140%, now works fine at 130%.
I have a very similar issue with the new 17.12.1 drivers.
No crashes (yet) but what looks like ghosting in the depth buffer is present in all 'indoor' locations in the game since new drivers. REALLY don't want to downgrade since they finally fixed Wattman in Adrenalin.
