AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 22.5.2 driver download and discussion

And what's the difference when it's on and off? Any significant benefits?

 

Honestly its on by default and isnt making any issues so i didnt test with it disabled.

 

It works on one of my RX 5500 XTs.

 

Did you manually enable it in the registry or does it finally appear in the windows settings-gaming-graphics settings menu ?

 

The switch didn't appear. I have added an entry to the registry but I'm not sure if this was that thing that made HAGS on. I tried to do the same on my second RX 5500 XT but GPU-z still shows "off (supported)"

 

Strange...same windows version and drivers on both cards ? Or maybe it also depends on the CPU+motherboard... Anyway I think that if HAGS had an actual benefit for AMD cards they would have released in 2020 alongside nvidia. 2 years later still not released for everyone means that it doesn't really matter IMHO.

 

Anyone test this 22.5.2 driver with VR? I had issues with the previous May preview driver (haven't tried this one yet), and there's mixed reports from others with Oculus and Reverb G2 (Reddit, Oculus forums, MSFS forums). There's no known issues related to VR on the release notes.

 

I am getting constant ctd's in doom eternal but that game did crash with older drivers too.

Got one gray screen hard freeze while using Edge but hasn't happened since.

 

I don't know. I have two PCs: R5 5600X + X570 Gaming Plus + RX 5500 XT 8 GB Gigabyte and R5 2600X + B450 Tomahawk Max + RX 5500 XT 4 GB Gigabyte. They are running on the newest drivers and Windows 11 (25126). HAGS works only on the first one.

 

Any change in 22.5.2 whql today?

 

Yes, they just released them

Probably just the signature, still optional though but I guess AMD updates that quarterly or something and not once they revise a driver with the complete WHQL certification stuff.

 

whql with broken sensors on polaris? lul

 

Same driver as AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 22.5.2. Only difference is WHQL.

No need for a new separated thread

 

Just got another gray screen hard freeze with Edge, never happened with older drivers.

@SpajdrEX possible bug

EDIT: just as I was about to post Edge build number Edge updated itself.
I'll see if the issue still persists.

EDIT: yep, third crash.
Microsoft EdgeVersion 102.0.1245.30 (Official build) (64-bit)

 

@AsiJu that's under latest Windows 10 version?

 

Yep, forgot the build number but latest official / non-insider

 

are you using defaults or did you switch compositor to vulkan?

 

Getting massive frame drops and stutters in Overwatch since I picked up 22.5.2 on my 6600.
