Hello,

Rainbow Six Siege causes my 17.12.1 drivers to crash. This happens randomly during gameplay and only with this game. I am running on Windows 10 pro with all updates installed. My graphics card is a R9290x-DC2. I am not overclocking the card. Any Advice you guys have?

Do you have the latest Rainbow Six Patch 4.2 which claims to fix the problem of AMD drivers crashing the game?

Does not work. Still crashes.

With LOD settings = LOW instead of MID/HIGH, it happens not all the time, but only about every thrid game...

On 18.2.1, RX570, WIN7-64
