This discussion is for community members to share their experience using AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.1.1. For the full driver release notes and download link refer to: AMD Software Adrenalin Edition 25.1.1 driver release notes.

Highlights

New Game Support
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH

Fixed Issues and Improvements
- Improvements to performance while playing Apex Legends™ with DirectX® 12 API.
- Lower than expected performance may be observed while using LM Studio on AMD Ryzen™ AI and Radeon™ products.

Known Issues

Partial black screen may appear in Main Menu while playing Marvel's Spider-Man 2 with Radeon™ Anti-Lag 2 and Ray Tracing enabled on AMD Ryzen™ 7000 and above series processors. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to disable Radeon™ Anti-Lag 2 as a temporary workaround.
Intermittent system or application crash may be observed while playing FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH for long periods of time.
Intermittent driver timeout or crash may be observed while playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370. Users experiencing this issue can enable Variable Graphics Memory in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition as a temporary measure (AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition -> Performance -> Tuning -> Variable Graphics Memory).
Intermittent stutter may be observed while playing Marvel Rivals when AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 frame generation is enabled. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to disable AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 frame generation in the per-game settings as a temporary workaround.
After using the AMD Cleanup Utility for Windows®, the AMD Bug Report Tool may appear intermittently during a new driver install on AMD Ryzen™ 7000 and above series processors paired with AMD Graphics Products.
HEVC encoding may not work as expected while using OBS Studio with Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting.

It is absolutely unacceptable that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is outright crashing on startup for RX 580 users while NVIDIA has ensured that even older GPUs like the GTX 970 can run the game. The RX 580 is objectively more powerful than the GTX 1650, which meets the game's minimum requirements, yet your drivers prevent it from running at all.

This is not a hardware limitation—it’s a driver issue, and it’s your responsibility to fix it. NVIDIA had no problem updating their drivers to allow older cards to work, yet AMD continues to ignore users who still rely on Polaris GPUs. If NVIDIA can do it, there is no excuse for AMD’s inaction.

Polaris cards are still widely used, and abandoning them like this is nothing short of negligence. I expect a proper response, not a generic “your card is too old” excuse. Will AMD address this issue, or should users just accept that Radeon GPUs don’t get long-term support and move to NVIDIA instead?

Can we get an actual NON-Optional Update now? Nvidia has gotten 3 update so far, you guys are slow as molasses.

KCD 2 just came out, and I actually LOSE FPS when FSR is on. This is unacceptable.

Get your Sht together.

I do appreciate the driver update, but there's still a major issue that I think needs to be looked at. Radeon 7000 and upcoming 9000 series has strong potential, but its performance in Blender Cycles still lags behind expectations. Despite significant hardware advancements, rendering efficiency remains suboptimal compared to competitors. Optimizing HIP support, improving kernel compilation times, and enhancing viewport responsiveness would make Radeon GPUs a more viable choice for 3D artists. Addressing these bottlenecks will not only improve adoption among creators but also strengthen AMD’s position in professional rendering workloads. I urge you to prioritize these enhancements to fully leverage the power of RDNA3 (and new RDNA4) in content creation. I know far too many content creators who would switch to Radeon in a heartbeat if it weren't for this trouble. This is also especially a major league problem considering 3D Animation is just one of those things that can't be easily replaced by AI, thus more and more people will be coming to this field.

Today the Automatic Windows Update "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - Display - 32.0.13018.6" disrupted the functionality of the AMD Adrenaline software.

To disable the Automatic Windows Update for Drivers you can follow this instructions:
https://community.amd.com/t5/general-discussions/how-do-i-stop-windows-10-from-updating-my-graphics-...

The version installed prior to the Windows Update disruption was the Adrenaline 25.1.1 (Jan 2025)

I noticed what happened because while I was browsing the screen went black two times during 3 seconds and I heard two times the "new device sound".

In Windows event viewer I have the following ERRORS:
