Drivers & Software

[cheetah_hunter]

Hello,

I have a RX 560 4GB OC edition and i have been using it for a while. To play forza horizon 3 i need to use the 17.10.1 version of the driver for a smooth experience but recently i had installed the 18.12.2 version and reverted back to the 17.10.1 only to face this ridiculous issue on every startup:

Any help would be appreciated to stop this silly intrusion every time i startup my pc.

Settings asking me to upgrade to an older version?

look carefully, its not asking me to go back to an older version, its telling me that currently installed 17.10.1 and that 17.10.1 is a local driver. This window pops up everytime i restart windows.

So it's showing you that there is a recommended driver and a optional beta driver....is that bothering you? Have you turned off notifications/updates in Wattman/CCC 'preferences'? Did you select 'keep me up to date' when you installed the drivers?

exactly, it was bothering me a lot. even though my i kept notifications and updates turned off this silly recommendation kept popping. fyi, i accidentally extracted the 17.10.1 driver files in safe mode before i realised what i was doing. Using DDU or AMD uninstall utility didn'tr help. However, I downloaded and installed 19.1.1 from the amd webpage and voila! its working like a charm so I guess i will go with this update for now. Though the problem of the advisor telling me to downgrade to a 'new recommended 18.12.2 driver' still remains, that ain't bothering me.

Thanks so much for your help. I am really grateful.  btw, I just wanna let amd know that they need to work a bit on fixing forza horizon 3 cuz recent drivers are a mess (lots of stuttering in-game), instead of providing support for new games while breaking support for older ones. Anyways, Thanks Again man
