Fixed Issues

Radeon R9 Fury Series products may experience minor graphical corruption in Titanfall™2 when inside a titan.

Known Issues

A few game titles may fail to launch, experience performance issues or crash if the third party application "Raptr" has its game overlay enabled. A workaround is to disable the overlay if this is experienced.

DOOM™ may experience a crash when launched using the Vulkan™ API on some Graphics Core Next products.

DOTA™2 may experience a crash when launched using the Vulkan™ API on some Graphics Core Next products.

Flickering may be experience while playing Overwatch™ in the main menu or viewing character models using AMD CrossFire mode.

You can always leave http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-art...re-Crimson-Edition-16.11.4-Release-Notes.aspx as a place holder for when it goes live.

 

Funny thing is I was watching that exact page for it to update. Figured most know how to do that.

 

They just pulled the twitter post. My guess is these drivers got pulled last second due to a bug or they were premature and just not ready yet.

 

lol rip the dream!

 

Yep just saw that as well.... THanks

 

Drivers might still turn up.

 

Such a tease!!

 

Well the 16.11.4 page ( https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-ar...re-Crimson-Edition-16.11.4-Release-Notes.aspx ) stopped saying "Not found." and instead started with "401: Unauthorized." so it's there but not enabled yet, maybe later today?

 

Hnmm, is DX12 patch for Civ VI out? This should be a reason to driver release postpone.

 

It's out now - Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.11.4 Release Notes

 

No Battlefield 1 fixes for Crossfire?

 

Updated original post from yesterday's pulled tweet.

 

It's a good thing that AMD acknowledge the Vulkan problems in drivers but it's bad to see the Vulkan support is going to be the same Mantle had. :3eyes:

There are not a gazillion AAA titles using Vulkan right now.

IF AMD really want to push Vulkan as an alternative to DX1x the drivers should work fine them.

 

I don't think AMD really cares that much about Vulkan, compared to DX12 anyway. DX12 is basically the MS equivalent, which to my knowledge generally works fine. As far as I'm aware, most Windows games use DX12 instead of (or in addition to) Vulkan, so it's not like users are limited in that regard.

In Linux, it seems Vulkan support is fine with closed-source drivers, and open-source drivers are catching up real fast.

 

Now just hoping the new Windows 10 Insider build coming out today fixes the crossfire issue from the last couple of insider builds.

 

How is the performance in BF1? I noticed it took a big dip with the 11.3 drivers compared to 11.2.

 

I think Doom "may crash" is why they had it access denied and removed the Tweet.
They tried to fix it before the end of the day but couldn't so they figured they might as well release the drivers how they are.

 

Not driver related but just passing it on, Windows 10 Insiders build 14971(just released) still has iossues with crossfire not sure if it does with SLI. Fix is to revert to insider build 14951, all the builds since them freezes the 3d app as soon as crossfire kickes in, but not windows ie can ctrl alt tab and sign out.

 

Anyone checked BF1 performance with these?
