Uhhhhhhh, Where's the game support for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? It's a AAA and very popular game with over 200k players on steam... Like what's even going on... Avowed is on the list and it doesn't even come out for a week.... KCD 2 has been out for a week already... Come on guys... really...

And why are all these updates "Optional" why are they not going onto my Adrenalin app, i don't want to have to come here to download them. This is ridiculous.

[Koyote7667]

They are not windows certified. Its not hard. Its also why your Adrenalin app says your up to date. 

Relax dude. You dont HAVE to use them. And when they are certified, your adrenalin app will say.  Chill your **bleep**. Nvida, and Intel does the same **bleep** thing. 

[Grubbs008]

Uhh no they don't... lol. They have gotten about 6 recommended driver updates verses our 1.... How does that even make sense... Games like KCD 2 , and PoE 2 haven't even gotten looked at by AMD. They need to be certified faster. But Cope as much as you want.

[Koyote7667]

Cert comes from windows. Period. Its why its "optional" and not recommended at the time. MOBO makers do the same thing dude. Its not cope, its not being brain dead, and a baby. Ill just block you, so i do not get dumber reading the stupid **bleep** you say. Cheers.

Every game does not require a driver to mention support or need driver "support". I saw this same ridiculous argument for nvidia drivers. 3D modeling is very complex and sometimes game devs don't do it optimally. That's where amd/nvidia can step in and one-off some driver optimization if the dev didn't mess it up totally. If it's a sponsored game, they may even provide dev resources. But if the game dev does a good job, there isn't some magic dust to sprinkle and make it run better.

Did AMD add support for Until Dawn in their previous drivers? After installing the game I have to add it manually through the Adrenalin software...

[itagouki]

Anti-Lag makes Helldivers 2 stutter alot. I'm reverting to drivers 24.12.

[josh34583]

Where is KCD2 support? It is not even an Nvidia sponsored game. It is out for a week and STILL has no game ready drivers. 

[mickeekung]

Still not fixed for delta force

[Qoojo]

Civ Vii might have an AMD only problem with square lines on the map. Happened with 24.12.1 and it happens with this driver.

Diablo IV seems to be a bit stuttery with these drivers. According to the ingame framerate it's sitting at a steady 60fps but there are noticeable stutters. 5800x+rx6900XT+Samsung 980 Pro 2TB+64Gb DDR4 on Crosshair Dark Hero VIII with Windows 10. Running on a freesync monitor capable of 150Hz.
