It was released on 29 August 2024.  Maybe this will address some issues a few folks have been having with prior updates.  My experience so far is that it blanks your screen for several seconds (20-30) during the install.  A bit unnerving I would say.

New driver update, just in time for my 01 September 2024 LAN party at Big Al Computers.

Just like 24.7.1 it took 2 reboots to clear this error.

After the first reboot I also got the "not compatible" error.

After the second reboot however both errors cleared, and my Zero RPM and Idle Board Power (which were both not working with 24.7.1) now appear to be working correctly.

So far, so good...

[BigAl01]

I think I saw that second warning during an Adrenalin install several versions ago, but as with your case, it went away after rebooting Windows.  Sounds like a good upgrade for you with a few things now working that didn't before.

[FunkZ]

Yes, ZeroRPM and Idle Board Power were broken for me in 24.7.1 and are now fixed in 24.8.1

Unfortunately, now myself and others have a new "problem". It's not a dealbreaker for me and just dealing with it for now.

[BigAl01]

That's interesting.  My computers don't go to sleep (I use a screensaver for up to 4 hours) so I don't see that happening.  At least it's only a minor issue, where you just need to close the Adrenalin window.

Updated to new drivers go to load COD and still freezes on loading screening.  Have uninstalled both AMD and call of duty and reinstalled and continue to have same issues.  BRNAD NEW COMPUTER LESS THEN 2 weeks out the box. Ryzen 7700 Radeon RX7900 GPE

[Jani38]

I'm going to break this f***ing card, never again AMD!

[BigAl01]

Is it only this one game that is giving you problems?  If other games successfully launch and don't crash while playing, I would focus on the settings in this game if you can access them.  Check the following:

Do you have sufficient storage space for this game and updates it may try to load?

Have you installed the latest game patches?

Have you tried to set your game resolution a bit lower?

Can you change the server that is hosting the game?

I have no problems with my RX 7900 GRE video card, but I don't have this game to test it on.  I also recommend you search the Internet for other possible solutions.  

[Jmazo87]

I can’t even get into a screen in the game to look at settings as it freezes on black screen.  Computer is 2 weeks old and COD is only game I play.  Plenty of storage on it and have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple time both AMD and Game

[Jani38]

since 24.5.1 they don't have a correct driver program,put back 24.5.1 it works,and wake me up when there will be a usable driver.

[BigAl01]

I would go back to your previous Adrenalin driver version (24.7.1).  

[Jmazo87]

@BigAl01 I am not upset at anyone and you are right my knowledge is very little when it comes to this and that why I am posting on here trying to learn and get answers.  I appreciate the options you are providing and I will continue to try all options provided

[Jani38]

Your brain power does not understand our problems, so why are you here?

[Awol]

BigAl is a volunteer and gives up his time for the good of the rest of us, have some respect for people on the forum, then again looking at your posts all you do is bitch and moan.  Why dont you do the rest of us a favour and get lost.

[BigAl01]

@Awol Thank you for the kind comments.  I am a retired MSEE and since I retired at age 55 ten years ago, I have been doing nothing but volunteer work (mostly cat rescue).  Perhaps we can help @Jani38 and @Jmazo87 overcome their problems together.  If @Jmazo87  bought a pre-built computer, he may not understand how many settings can affect the user experience.  I think @Jani38 should stick with the 24.5.1 driver version for now until he can figure out why the game crashes in the new 24.8.1 version.

[Awol]

Very true. Would be good to know the full PC specs.

[Jani38]

I wrote to Blizzard support,COD VANGUARD is not compatible with adrenaline 24.6.1/24.7.1/24.8.1 drivers,that's why the shader compiling freezes at 2%,so amd is trash.

[BigAl01]

It's good that you've identified that the shader compiling fails under those AMD Adrenalin driver updates.  Perhaps it's not AMD's fault, but rather Blizzards fault for a poorly written shader?  Why do you want to keep trash talking AMD?

[Jani38]

Interesting that with this driver it loads the shader without error, then it's not the game's fault.

[BigAl01]

So, that means you tried out the beta driver for October 2024?  That's good news.  If that does work, then yes - it's not the games shader that's at fault.

[Hiramabiff]

I am going to say I find this remark offensive towards a member of the community here who has assisted many many people who has never asked for anything in return.  

He has given me advice and I have learned a lot through his posts assisting others.

Unfortunately, the new ASRock Tweak version 2.0.65 crashes with the also new AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.8.1 update.
The biggest problem is that COD MW3 also crashes immediately after the start.

Ryzen 7 7800 X3D

ASRock RX 7900 XTX Taichi

ASRock X670E Taichi Carrera

Solved with Revo Uninstaller!

Requires clean install!!

[Jani38]

Did you uninstall the game or the driver with Revo? 

[csabaf72]

Yes, only the AMD Adrenalin software.

All games work perfectly and so does the ASRock Tweak app.

[Dragokar]

Works as it should, did not test Cossacks 3 though. Will do at the weekend.

[Th3N1ghtH4wk]

The driver update seems to remove most of the CPU metrics under the performance tab? After installing it I was only left with Utilization. After reverting back to 24.7.1 the other metrics are back.

The install was also quite bad, caused my Windows to become unresponsive (No response on mouse and keyboard). First time that I recall having this issue.

[BigAl01]

Have you tried using DDU to clean up the install files before installing the new 24.8.1 Adrenalin version?

[Awol]

So far no issues experienced. Idle GPU temp is as it should be not elevated as in 24.6.1 and 24.7.1. No driver timeouts experienced in any games so far.  BFV, HLL, COD4, Islands of Insight, Once Human, BF2042 and BodyCam are all working as they should and no coil whine.

[HewinFM]

Coil whine introduced in 24.6.1 is still an issue in this release.

[BigAl01]

Try running your video card at less voltage or lower the frequency a bit.  I bet the coil whine has something to do with harmonics.

[HewinFM]

Doesn't fix it.

[dza]

Still coil whine with RX6600 Challenger ITX.

Very disappointed. We are waiting, hoping that someone finally acknowledges this issue as previous versions were and still is silent in comparison..

[Jani38]

Could someone please delete my account. Thank you!

[BigAl01]

If you stick around, perhaps someone will find a solution to the COD crashing issue.  Your history shows many swear words though that were automatically pushed to the spam queue, so you need to use clean language like the rest of us.

[Jani38]

cod vanguard is incompatible with these drivers,I am not alone in having this kind of problem.
24.6.1/24.7.1/24.8.1

[Jani38]

Why did you delete my post,was there a reference to spam?

[BigAl01]

I did not delete any of your posts.  I can see that the automatic spam filter put many of your posts in the spam queue due to language abuse.  They do not tolerate fowl language in this forum.  

That being said, I can understand your frustration.  There could be a solution to the COD crashing problem that we just don't know about yet.  You can be part of the solution, rather than a victim of the anomaly.

My game stucks at 43 fps then 77 and if I switch screens (alt+tab) it becomes normal, **bleep** is that XD

[BigAl01]

What game are you playing and have you updated the game with all it's patches?  What was your experience with the previous version of the Adrenalin drivers (24.7.1)?
