What a disaster for EASports FC24. In concrete terms, it's unplayable; the game no longer responds, everything is laggy and loading is laggy. In short, it just doesn't work.
I downgraded to the previous version: it was Forza Horizon 5 that refused to start (after reinitialization, complete reinstallation, nothing helped). I've gone back to the current version, I'm giving up on FIFA. A fix, please...

With this new driver on my 7900xt when I start Elite Dangerous it resets my PC. Not even a driver timeout, just hard reset. I just cannot start the game. I will have to roll back the driver yet again.

[amduw23g-stopped-respond]

Same here with X4 foundations and some other games. Had to revert to 24.5.1 🤬

[mbjoker4]

26.6.1 cause boot hang to my system. I must press start after every boot. After restart, my PC works fine, but thats really annoying. So i rolled back to 24.4.1

[Spunky78]

I am NOT abled to upgrade directly from AMD Software, because there is NO button available to upgrade. Why do I always have to search for the new software on AMD's driverpage?

[CayroMx4]

It's better to download drivers from amd website using DDU or amd cleaning tool.

[Spunky78]

But why? I don't have to do so with Nvidia GPU

[goodplay]

Start a new thread, and list your system specs..

[amduw23g-stopped-respond]

Now with 24.6.1 I have blue screen on most of games with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Anyone else has the same issue?

[mehmetcangumusgul]

In this update, the issue of Armoury Crate not recognizing the graphics card still hasn't been resolved. I know the problem is with the AMD Software Edition because when I revert to versions like 23.11.1, the graphics card appears in Armoury Crate. Could the fact that AMD Vega technology cards haven't received updates since the 24.1.1 update be a factor? Because the integrated graphics card technology of a laptop with a 5900HX processor and 6800M graphics card is Vega, while the 6800M is RDNA2. I wish I could try updating them separately.

[Qoojo]

Quite possible that it is a bug in armoury crate. Have you updated Armoury Crate?

Version 3.2.11.2

...

5.Fixed incorrect detection of multiple Graphics Cards.

[Risbo6]

It was looking good, then i dared play ARMA 3  & it crashed (Latest good driver was 23.12...) 

FYOU

[arturbc]

Sad by Hyper-V GPU-P no more recognizing AMD encoder to use Parsec or OBS H.264/H.265 on my RX 6800XT. Previous driver works perfectly. I hope than next update back to works.

[z010q3w]

When the media player renders in dx9 mode, the output screen will have black squares.

[coollen]

nice that u unlock streaming and capturing video with driver 24.6.1 (7800xt)

[robertbigk]

Hi , I cannot use new driver destiny 2 works just bad lag , frame drop. But most important orca slicer 2.1.1 is

impossible to use  in prepare I got black screen no table and model. When I reinstall driver for 24.5 all back to normal.

Rollback to 24.5.1

How fix that?
