Atiapfxx.exe -r -sys -s test.xml
test.xml from atiapfxx.blb in 18.5.x or the "Q2 2018" driver compared against 18.5.1 here.
18.5.1 is dated May 16th, Q2 is dated May 11th.
Crossfire profile updates.
Quake Champions.
(Crossfire flag updated.)
Profile updates.
Ancestor legacy.
Ans-Win64-Shipping.exe -> Anc-Win64-Shipping.exe
720380 -> 620590 ( https://steamdb.info/app/720380/ -> https://steamdb.info/app/620590/ So closed beta to full game.)
And that's pretty much it for this file.
For Q2 2018 against 18.4.1 I made a quick comparison in that topic here:
https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/radeon-adrenalin-edition-q2-2018.421072/#post-5547854
Which to summarize there's profiles added for Warhammer Vermintide 2 (DX11) and Ancestor Legacy (Closed beta.)
And there's also profiles for PXDynamic and HighPerfGPU flags for a couple of games which AFAIK (From a previous driver topic thread some time ago here.) indicates for the driver to prefer the dedicated GPU over the integrated one.
Finally for Crossfire there's Gravity, Earthfall and Battlezone (Remaster of the sequel I assume.) as the new additions and updated ones for PUBG, Shadow of War, Conan Exile, Kingdom Come and Vermintide 2 🙂
INF seems not too different to Q2, driver is about a week newer but that's about all so no major changes from a quick comparison here.
And for hardware acceleration assuming it's video playback via Twitch or Youtube what a surprise if it's borked again, seems it's fixed in one driver and broken in another and then fixed in one web browser (Hi Firefox!) and then broken again when the next version rolls out (Hello Firefox!) thus I keep HW acceleration off even if it can be useful even with a decent CPU. (Decent until you try 4k VP9 video playback at least or similar, ha ha.)
If it's a stand-alone video player I'm not too sure, MPC-HC with MadVR works here but it's the old but still going K-Lite bundle for simplicity though MadVR is customized a bit every now and again because they add a ton of new stuff to it. 😀
EDIT: Ah the 18.5.1 release note page on AMD's website is available now.

Known Issues
Some games may experience minor stuttering during gameplay when the Radeon ReLive Instant Replay feature is enabled and FRTC is also enabled.
Radeon Overlay may not show all available features when some games are run in borderless fullscreen mode.
The Witcher™ 3: Wild Hunt may experience stuttering during gameplay.
A system hang may occur on a small number of system configurations after Radeon Software installation if Radeon Settings is launched without a system reboot. A workaround is to reboot your system after install.
Footnotes
(1) Testing conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of May 22, 2018 on the 8GB Radeon RX Vega 56, on a test system comprising of Intel i7 7700X CPU (4.2 GHz), 16GB DDR4-3000 Mhz system memory, and Windows 10 x64. PC manufacturers may vary configurations, yielding different results. With ultra preset settings on Ancestors Legacy, at 1920x1080, the Radeon RX Vega 56 scored 165.7 FPS with Radeon Software 18.4.1, whereas the Radeon RX Vega 56 scored 175.7 FPS with Radeon Software 18.5.1. Comparing FPS between software versions, Radeon Software 18.5.1 has 6% faster performance in Ancestors Legacy. Performance may vary based on use of latest drivers.

Comparing FPS between software versions, Radeon Software 18.5.1 has 13% faster performance in Ancestors Legacy. Performance may vary based on use of latest drivers.
EDIT: It's mostly just for the known issues, not too many listings but still a few notable things such as stutter with ReLive replay if used with FRTC and the Radeon overlay maybe missing some bits if used under borderless display mode.
(The issues with Witcher 3 stuttering and the RadeonSettings.exe possible system hang if the user doesn't reboot first after a driver update already being listed for 18.4.1 as I recall, at least the driver is nice enough to prompt for a reboot even if WDDM and newer versions of Windows can handle a driver update but it's usually recommended to make sure everything goes smoothly.)
Look like someone on the inside of Intel stole that CPU and give it to someone at AMD haha.
Also no crashing in games now, play around 3 hours with no crash in State of Decay 2.
Besides they already have Great CPU for this 2700X at 4.2Ghz w/3466MHz Ram at CL14 will destroy any 4core part easily 😛 and for ATI Radeon more cores=the better FPS because of Heavy Multi Threaded Adrenalin Driver 😎
Using 18.4.1, my mouse lags and shutters (win10 1803).
Does this version fix taht issue or is it still present ?
Not everybody had this issue..so we cant tell you.
Use DDU and install 18.5.1 and report back to us.

No problems on my system with the 18.5.1..all good! 🙂
