Small note, during driver installation, you could see overlapping text on install options, this will be fixed in the next driver.

One tiny nuisance: after the installation was over (and the screen had gone black for a couple of seconds as usual when installing video drivers) my desktop background image did not show and the desktop background was just solid black (but desktop icons were correctly shown); a simple reboot (which I always do anyway after a driver update) fixed it.

Performing a task switch with some Radeon Software features enabled or some third-party applications with hardware acceleration running in the background may cause a system hang or black screen.

Let's see if they fixed a 15yo bug....

WDDM 2.7 Support?

Not until 20H1 is released to the public on WU.

Running DDU and a clean driver install reduced the number of black screen crashes for me dramatically. Just ran DDU again and am installing 20.2.2, hopefully this new release solves the issue finally.

Used ddu and installed just fine (disabled internet while installing). Gonna do some testing and few games.

When the radeon software host application starts in the background (usually 2 min after restart the pc), the windows timer resolution change from 15,625 to 1. The latest driver that dont change this value is the 19.12. https://ibb.co/cTmYwXf

Performing a task switch with some Radeon Software features enabled or some third-party applications with hardware acceleration running in the background may cause a system hang or black screen. Ffs, I just sent in my RX 5700 XT to RMA for this earlier this week....... But it might be suffering from worse problems, since it could happen when doing almost nothing but browser work.

Lets go babyyyy!!!

Known Issues Some games may exhibit stutter intermittently during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products frack

What games are giving you issues?

BlitzTown:

Still getting lag spikes in old games like gw2.

Experiment with Chill/game FPS/VSYNC. For example, DOTA2 only runs smoothly for me if game is set to 240 with Chill limiting it to 130/130...

Oh wow, clocks speeds and power are now stable and now my boost is 1715 mhz and it stays there!! tested on 3dmark and gonna test a few games shortly

Factory reset + keep settings. Driver is fine so far. Checked: BFV DX11 + Reshade = OK Forza H4 = OK Wolcen DX + Reshade = OK

relive audio corruption is still present, ingame audio is fine [youtube=wk-_MzPf8Zo] maybe its related to windows timer change mentioned earlier adittionally relive indicator doesnt react to position and timer settings in scene editor

Radeon settings doesn't crash anymore with a transparent window if you try to start it after finishing a 3D game. Thanks, that bug was very annoying. I still see higher idle voltage (0.85V with DP at 144 Hz and 0.95V with HDMI at 144 Hz) as reported in GPU-Z when using a custom Wattman profile (after a restart). I will report back if anything else comes up during additional testing.

Okaaaay..... the fixes list does look promising.... I think I will take the bait and will DDU+clean install the 20.2.2. Worst case it can happen I will go back to 19.12.1 LoL. But I want to leave feedback if the black screens are fixed for my VEGA64 Liquid Cooled Ed.

spectatorx:

It exists since a very long time, you already know workaround and you said it works for you. You can report that from radeon software.

enabling separate audio track for microphone does not always fix this. it works most of the time but its not sure solution

ThatBusch:

Some games may exhibit stutter intermittently during gameplay on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products. Come on, thats the most annoying issue for me...

Check page 1... Say which games are affected - may help.

Good number of reported fixes from the Reddit at least. 🙂 https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/favtfv/radeon_software_adrenalin_2020_edition_2022/ Haven't had time to do much with the driver itself so far, moved to Windows 10 19041.113 earlier today and just got done with 20.2.2's install after getting back home. Suppose Ghost Recon Breakpoint would be a good test case seeing if D3D11 causes a (recoverable.) display driver crash within 15 minutes whereas it's stable for hours with DXVK and if that holds maybe trying the Atelier games which have a (unrecoverable.) black screen crash though it's random so could be one hour could be several before it happens. Definitively seems to have several good fixes to the overall driver stability, specific games and stuff like the overlay (I kinda kill that anyway as it can't be disabled besides renaming those two .dll files and I don't need it running.) so that's really good info so far for how it's going with this driver. EDIT: Bit of a backlog still though jumping between old and new. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b7/Wizardry_VI_-_Bane_of_the_Cosmic_Forge_Coverart.png/220px-Wizardry_VI_-_Bane_of_the_Cosmic_Forge_Coverart.png So yeah that GPU is sure getting a workout. 😛 Division 2 TU8 for early March could see that change though and so far the backlog has shrunk a bit but many of the newer games are kinda stuck in wait for patch and wait for gaas so yeah it's been mostly older titles. 😀 As to bugs though well I can at least replicate the driver crash in Breakpoint or well with the earlier drivers I could (19.7.5 being all stable as usual for whatever reason.) and Atelier makes for a good kinda wonky but excellent stability test though others like Gujian 3 also exhibit the issue but far less frequently. (Days instead of hours.) Once the essentials done with (Eating a pizza!) time to see how Breakpoint behaves and if that's all good maybe see how Atelier is doing if that's going to be stable or not but RNG is what it is so it's kinda well it happens but it's really sporadic which makes testing difficult although it at least does happen eventually. (Ye olde 19.7.5 still being stable but it's a wee bit old by now though it's a good reference if nothing else.)

BlitzTown:

I messed around with the chill settings aand vsync still i get random downclocks to 5mhz which causes the lag spikes.

1)Try setting a Global profile with Chill setting you want, with in-game VSYNC on/off. 2)Try setting PCIE link power saving to off. 3) Stop the amdow.exe and AMDRSServ.exe processes. Temporarily delete/move the files if you want to reboot after #4. 4) Also, seems this helped some... https://community.amd.com/thread/176003 5) Disable AMD Overlay.

Reddit reports are very positive so far. Time to test.
