Information regarding AMD RX 6000 series driver updates.

Depending on the definition of "launch" and "crash" .. if you were on an atmo planet, you'd Orange Sidewinder on clicking play"Elite Dangerous may crash upon launch on Radeon™ RX 6000 series GPUs."
It was time.
But..."crash upon launch"...What?
When a driver update breaks several games it would seem natural to me that fixing the driver is the proper solution.
I appreciate the fix, assuming it works, wherever it comes from.
That said, I've been enjoying the performance improvements of the more recent AMD drivers in EDO for several months by fixing the game.
It's looking like I might be reinstalling ED for a test soon. That will be an interesting challenge, but worth it if the AA issue somehow gets fixed as well. I just hope nothing else gets messed up in the process. Reverting my AMD graphics drivers was a bit of a pain the last time.
Excellent to see a timeframe for fixing it. I might actually have a schedule for copying my console account to my 6000-series PC now.
The 6000x drivers recently have been disasterous, I was getting system stutter or crashes in a range of games, including Elite; most of them were fixed with the last driver, but although I'm not crashing at launch with them in ED, I am getting an Orange Sidewinder any time I try and drop into a combat zone, either solo or with friends. I've not tried other planetary landings, but here's hoping for that fix soon.
Is ANYONE running AMD drivers post 22.5.1 on a 6000 series in this game?
I mean. I'm hopeful for 22.10.3. But I'd expect even 22.10.2 should have yielded improvements.

I'm running 22.10.2 on my 7900X / RX 6800 - using the tweak to appconfig.xml, i.e.
Code:
<TerrainSettings PermitFmaOptimizations="false" PermitNativeDoubles="false" PreferNativeDoubles="false" />I'd go on to the AMD Reddit and bullet-point your issues. Usually someone from AMD will respond there.
Here is link to their latest driver thread:

Thanks for the link, I'll look into that later. I doubt I'll see anything done, as most of my issues revolved around a little too much OCD on my part. I won't know for sure until I try though.
This could get you going until AMD fixes their driver: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/amd-rx-6000-series-driver-issues-workarounds.607423/
Ah thanks for linking that, interesting read on the workarounds. Bit too scared to tamper with the files myself like that and am launching from steam and it says there's issues doing that on work around 2. Are you using either?
I'm using #2 with no problems at all. RX6750. Runs great with Steam, Fd and Epic alts.
No, since I have Nvidia, but I ran ED on Linux for many years using DXVK. IIRC it's 3 files to copy into the game directory which you can remove afterwards. It really should be straightforward and easier than it sounds.
Highlights

- Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II
