[CayroMx4]

I don't want Anti-Lag 2 and AI.
I WANT FIXED DXNAVI AND DAYZ.

[HiTecHarry]

This!! Come on guys it's about time you sorted this out.. my old dying gtx 1070 is more stable and performant in DayZ over my RX 6800.. it's embarrassing right?!

[erikovick]

what's happen with dayz?

[CayroMx4]

Extremely low GPU usage in cities. GTX 1050 performs better than rx 6700. DAYZ IS  BROKEN FOR FCKING 2 YEARS!! 

don't forget about amd bug report tool.

[erikovick]

mm I was thinking of buying day z but since you tell me that it is not compatible it makes me doubt

[Konstantin_Koshelev]

Has AMD commented on the situation with DayZ at all? Why don't they admit the problem?

[Riptide_NVN]

Are the black screen driver timeouts and crashes resolved with this? I haven't been able to use R24 drivers with my 7900 card because of that and I'm afraid to try this one. Not a fan of having to rollback because I give this a 50% chance at best of fixing that problem.

[DriverTimeout]

Can’t believe this hasn’t been resolved. Haven’t been able to game with my 7900GRE since I bought it. 

[Riptide_NVN]

I suggest loading the last release of R23. That one fixed all my problems with black screens. Even games have run just fine with it and no crashes.

R24 though is another story and at this point someone else who had the same problems is going to have to go first before I risk loading the new one.

[julien1428]

I used to have black screens. I went from a corsair h1000i psu to a Silverstone 1200 watt and haven't had any black screens on any driver since. 7900xtx.

[joanlee9494]

agreed

[lanzelloth]

they fixed it, now after the update it crashes the entire system instead of just timing out the driver

[Mrpinutz]

Still 23.11.1 for my RX 6750xt. I will read the comments of those who downloaded it and download it accordingly.

[Risbo6]

I'll you test & report  

[Draxirch]

Not even going to bother.

AMD RDNA3 cards will never get Kingdom Hearts to work.

I'm quite happy just playing it on my Steam Deck now.

[cpurpe91]

I hope things get better on the Kingdom Hearts front. I have never played any of them.

[SwanUav]

They fixed cossacks 3 in this driver version, and they didn't even mention this in release notes, so if they said at least once that they are working on issue they gonna fix it

[Risbo6]

I see no mentions of "general stability improvements" ... in the readme

[Czecher]

Hello,

I just installed this driver and played WOW. Everything seems to be OK, no issues so far.

Czecher

[tanazzz]

The audacity of these MFers to keep releasing "new features" when an enormous portion of the user base can't even use their computers due to instability in all shapes and sizes. What a joke of a company, literally close your GPU division and give up. Don't even bother releasing RDNA4 clowns.

[rawintellect]

The settings import/export failure has been corrected in 24.6.1. Thank you AMD!

[Aurhinius]

PAX Dei Issues with FSR3 and 24.6.1 driver in main menu showing extremely pixelated. Works fine once in game.

[cpurpe91]

That is terrifying. I would DDU and reinstall the last drivers that worked. That looks almost like the GPU or memory is dying.

[Aurhinius]

To be honest it's only the menu and it doesn't do it in game and doesn't do it on the last version of the driver. Agreed it looks like a memory issue but then I'd expect issues in game.  Weird one for sure.

[autaztic]

I am getting weird artifacting in Rust in 24.6.1, I wiped it and went back to 24.5.1.

[mickeekung]

I use Windows 11, version 24H2 and this driver seems to be better than version 24.5.1. If you use Windows 11, version 24H2, you should install this driver.

[evil_doer]

STILL has the same memory leak its had all year.

Please see these threads for info:

https://community.amd.com/t5/drivers-software/memory-leak-on-zen4/m-p/692023

Come on AMD. This is ridiculous.

[Skittie]

I was one step away to left amd cause of my Driver Timeouts and Blue/Blackscreens with my 7900XTX for over 1000€!

...The good news, no crash since today afternoon

...The bad news, in my favorite game "Rust" the Shadow Cascades are Pixel Artefacts now... Really annoying.

I was a amd customer for decades but this is really pressing me away.... sad but true

I hope this will be patched the next weeks.

To everyone, have a wonderful day.

[Rustedhammer]

I've right there with you. 
This 7000 series has been a huge disappointment. I find myself not being able to recommend Radeon at this time. 

[twibr]

after 18 years with AMD video cards, in the fall of 23, I was building a new machine and almost bought a 4070, but they released the 7700xt... but now I'm not bored, I test software again and again, conjure with undervoltage, correspond with the same crazy people))) and if I had a 4070, I would have died of boredom and idleness long ago)

[Bowabb]

Something like this?

[twibr]

No, brother, we must survive AMD, let's go this way to the end)))))

[Rockywhu]

FC 24 is running awful online after the driver update today!

Anyone else finding this ?

Constant stuttering and just seems unstable

I played it before I updated the driver and it was nothing like this

[GeorgeChivadze]

same with my rx 7900 xt

fc 24 is unplayable 

stutters pretty much everywhere !

[Rockywhu]

Had the same again tonight with FC 24

AMD need to fix it with EA 

Was really smooth before the update but now it's horrible 

[duliak16_]

Yes, it's running horrible. It gives me fps drops in goal cinematic, or at the time of kickoff, I do not know what happened in this update, the only thing that has half fixed it for me is to put all the graphical settings of the game in "Auto".

[Rockywhu]

Cool i'll have to try that.

I just really ain't had the time to try many fixes, but I remember if you had recording software enabled it made the whole game lag before, the fix was to disable desktop recording

I duno how that was enabled for me anyway

 I wonder if it's an overlay issue with EAs and AMDs app

I'm actually finding other games completely fine, it's just FC 24 on these latest drivers

[MFalorca]

Have same issues too with my RX 7900 XT + 7950X3D after update to latest drivers 24.6.1. Stutters pretty much.

Back to adrenalin-edition-24.5.1, and problem solved!

Please fix this, AMD.

[Alfieszn]

I had the same problem, I think 24.7.1 is coming out this week or next hopefully!
