3 Games give me a lot of grief right now. Mass Effect Andromeda, Dragon age Inquisition, which are both EA/frostbite engine games, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. In all 3 of those the shader chache seems to cause troubles, and resetting it via the radeon software does nothing. How do I know it's the shader cache? Well, whenever I start up Mass Effect, I get those white flashes on the first screen, where you see the planet. and most of the time it will crash with dx...device_removed.  In Tomb Raider it will crash with device_hung and DAI justt crashes. TBH, i don't even play Dragon Age or Tomb Raider atm, but knowing they dont work bcause of this gives me a bad feeling.

None of the other proposed "fixes" help. Is there anything that can be done?

Grab 'flawless widescreen' for MEA.

The other two i don't have. I assume you tried verify game files/deleting cache.

There seems to be no available plugin for Mass Effect Andromeda in Flawless Widescreen. Do I have to create it somehow?

My games will start to crash to desktop and solution is to reinstall gpu driver but its not perma fix and it will happen again every 10-15 days games will start to crash often. I think problem is with shader cache.

Dota 2, witcher 3, etc.

So, after reinstalling drivers the problem returns?

If you did ask me yes problem will return. I still didnt reinstall gpu driver for more testing, Dota 2 did crash yesterday and today I did let Witcher 3 run for 3h and game did crash to desktop and pc didnt restart it was just crash to desktop. Reset shader cache did not fix proble but if I dont reinstall drivers games will start to crash more often. But if I now reinstall gpu driver Witcher 3 can run 24h and there will be no crash and location in game is not problem. but strange thing is dota 2, witcher 3 and other games too  will crash but league of legends will not. I now can test other games to be 100% sure but I did play witcher 3 most.But if I reinstall gpu driver it will work great 10-15 days because of that I am sure its connected with gpu driver. Strange problem. I did notice problem around may 2022 and I live with it still. Today I can do tests if someone wants and if not I will resinstall driver so I can play in peace for next 10-15 days. If that was problem with motherboard or some other part It would still crash after resintalling gpu driver. Somone said ram can be problem so I wil try to disable xmp and run witcher entire night.

game in vulkan cap frame rate to 120fps. fullscreen exclusive.

set everything to ultra. 

enable hardware DEP for everything, full exploit protection and set no page file enable core isolation and memory integrity.

consider disabling drive indexing too.

hibernate off and load up windows defrag and disable scheduling. if possible disable task scheduler scheduled tasks but doing so often makes your system no longer boot for criminal retard **bleep**got reasons.

enable all hardware acceleration. you could try my config file.

delete restore points disable system protection after a backup.

properly install adrenaline software and drivers and configure them. not that after the setup has run and unpacked and installed successfully you have to manually add in the drivers in device manager.

set no pagefile. disable hibernate. lower all your latency. umm i use custom registry settings too but my config file is here 

https://www.mediafire.com/file/wu7wjakjx6mge09/video_to_ultra12khevcaudiotodsdCONFIG.INI/file

rename to config.ini copy into 4 places. might help.

ensure all upscaling is disabled.

set windows and anything else to 100% scale

try lower your resolution to 720p you maybe have a 144hz ultrawideload of monitor.
