Information regarding AMD RX 6000 series driver updates.

[sallymorganmoore]

Greetings Commanders.

Here today to share an information update with you regarding reports and discussions being had around Commanders experiencing stability issues, Orange Sidewinder disconnects and instances of incorrect texturing, after updating their AMD RX 6000 series card drivers.

Issue report: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/50184

The team have been investigating disconnect logs and issue reports over the course of some time and we'd like to reassure you that these investigations remain ongoing.

At this time we're aware that Adrenalin 22.7.1 is now available as a driver update version for RX 6000 series owners, however if you are continuing to experience issues following further driver updates, it is advised that you roll back to Adrenalin 22.5.1 as investigations continue.

As soon as we have more to add on this, we will let you know.
Thank you as always for your patience!

Have a great day o7

Thanks Sally.

I've been sticking to 22.5.1 since the issue arose with the game on my 6800 - hoping for a resolution in due course.

 

[Kimosabe_X]

Thanks for the information, hopefully it gets sorted out fast now *fingerscrossed *

 

[APOC_V]

Thanks for the update! Hoping a fix can be found soon.

Thanks for the update. I was thinking of buying a new GPU in the near future, but I am a bit worried about these reports regarding the drivers for the RX 6000.

Yeah I was looking at the prices on some 6800 cards the other day and then I remembered this issue...

 

[sallymorganmoore]

No problem everyone, sorry it's taken me a moment to get back in here this afternoon o7
We'll keep the investigations rolling in team. Can absolutely appreciate it's a priority to keep tabs on for many.

Is FSR 2.0 going to be implemented in the game?

 

[Fixitman]

I'm glad I moved on after it became obvious the AA issue was not going to be fixed. My RX 6900 XT is working just fine with everything else I play, and I'm using the latest drivers.

 

[katou_megumi]

Is FSR 2.0 going to be implemented in the game?

I dont think so, as long as this game still using DX11. Because DX12 is a required for FSR 2.0 to work, and i dont think this game gonna upgrade to DX12 or vulkan anytime soon

I literally just went back after a little break and crashed almost immediately, and I'm running 22.5.1 on an RX 6700 XT....

Odd, 22.5.1 is the only one stable for me, are you getting a specific error or just crashes?

that was just a crash, and the weird thing is that even the crash dump reporter tool crashed as well

Oh I see, i'd say that's a different issue then, i'd do a CLEAN gpu driver reinstall, use the cleanup utility or something similar, and check the rest of your HW! Can be unrelated

welp, had no more crashes after that one anyway

That's not weird - happens about every time in patch 12. One of the things hopefully on their list of things to fix.

If it was an Nvidia issue it would be fixed!

 

[Ned Flandalorian]

If it was an Nvidia issue it would be fixed!

Because NVIDIA would have fixed their broken drivers already?

This isn't a problem with the game - it worked with the older drivers, it works with drivers from other manufacturers, it works with wrappers for completely different graphics APIs - it's a bug specifically in AMD's drivers, exposed by a game that relies much more heavily on compute shaders than most.

 

[patttiat]

OK OK
now i know whats going on, let´s see if this fix my problem.

 

[RadTheInhaler]

This would certainly explain not being able to land on planets. Guess I'll look at a rollback.
