AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) + MSFS2020

Same here.
Msfs24 wasn’t recognized and listed in the games.

The workaround is to make a shortcut on your desktop of your msfs24.exe which needs to have the exact same name as the original exe.

Then you can add the game in adrenaline and launch msfs24.
However it doesn’t give any fps numbers/history/afmf etc.

So it seems that it’s not doing anything.
I hope this will get resolved soon!

Mine just worked when 2024 installed…didn’t touch anything

Which version do you have? Steam or MS Store?

Steam, latest AMD driver

I think the issue is only for the MS Store versions because those go via the xbox app.

yeah issue for xbox game pass, maybe wait for amd driver…

On a similar but unrelated topic, wasn’t FSR3 supposed to be in 2024?

it was suposed, a developper told me they will add frame generation in game in few time

Reinstall the driver and see if the Adrenaline software picks up MSFS2024 from the initial scan.
The reason i am suggesting this is because on my system the “app” based games seem to get detected when the adrenaline software is installed and run for the first time. A simple scan for games after the install never seem to detect msfs (for me at least)

I had planned to stick with another AMD Card but if they cant get fluid motion frames going with MSFS2024 then i will be forced to team green and i was trying not to do that since i preferred the driver based frame gen implementation.

So fingers and toes crossed someone gets on top of it if MSFS2024 is really not being detected.

Mine is working, i am Steam, are you?

Did DDU and reinstalled adrenalin driver.
No change on that … MSFS24 is still not recognized.
As said before the reason is due to the xbox gamepass link with the MS Store version.

I suppose you are using the steam version?

Youre on gamepass ?

No, I have bought the full MS Store version but you need to go through the Xbox app.

And it seems that is the reason why Adrenaline doesn’t recognize MSFS24.

yeah we need to wait for (maybe) an AMD update driver and autorisation for xbox to add the game like for FS2020…
if they’re never going to do that, I’ll have to buy it on steam, but I’m not happy about that.

Had to format the PC and reinstall MSFS2020 (Store version). AFMF used to be OK from day one for months now but after the reinstall it does not work anymore.

My understanding is that AFMF does not work because Adrenaline 24.12.1 does not detect the game anymore in Gaming → Games → Library and I haven’t found a way to manually add MSFS 2020 in there. Before the reinstall, I’m pretty sure the game would be detected automatically and it even showed performance stats.

Anyone else having this issue?

ps: MSFS2024 seems to be OK.

pps: this might be because now MSFS2020 seems to be installed in C:\XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content, I don’t think it was there before? But then MSFS2024 is also in XboxGames and it’s fine. I think this is more of an AMD issue than anything else.

I don’t think it matters where the game is installed for AFMF to work. I’d ensure VRR was turned on and if it still doesn’t work go into the Adrenalin settings and do a “Factory Reset” (you’ll need to put your settings back in).

If all else fails you can do a DDU and reinstall.

Thanks. Not entirely sure what’s the point of DDU cleanup and reinstalling when this is all after a disk format and clean Windows install without preserving any files, but I may try that as well after doing a factory reset.

It’s just curious how both MSFS’s are in the same folder (XboxGames) but one is detected while the other isn’t. Definitely looks like an AMD thing…

Not sure if this has already been mentioned as i haven’t read the entire thread, but I did see a comment somewhere in here stating that you MUST run the monitor and sim both at the native res of your monitor for it to work.

So I’m just confirming that, at least on my system (which is more a strange mix of a 14900k cpu with a 9070xt gpu… as my 4090 fried itself to death last week)… you absolutely do not need to do this.

My monitor is native 7680x2160, which even the 4090 could struggle with sometimes… with the 9070xt I’ve set it in windows to 5120x1440, and set the same in the sim. Frame gen is working and shows double the fps compared to the developer mode.

Have to say, I’m very impressed with how smooth it makes the sim.

I’m now running the monitor at 240hz, as at 120hz adrenaline only recognised the monitor as “freesync compatible”, whereas at 240hz it shows “freesync premium pro”.

I can see the green tick and the frame rate in the overlay is double the dev mode counter.

Haven’t noticed any artifacts to be honest and the sim has never been smoother.

What confused me to begin with was everyone mentioning the green tick… so, just incase people don’t realise(as i didn’t)… you won’t ever see the green tick by opening the adrenalin software… you NEED to press alt+r and view it in the overlay that pops up.

This is not the performance overlay in the top right (which can be enabled/ disabled separately within the main overlay), but basically the adrenalin software in overlay form… it looks the same as opening the adrenalin software, except you can now see the green tick with the message that frame gen is active.

One other thing is that if you have multiple monitors, but only using ONE for the main sim (and other for maps or pop outs etc), I’d highly recommend that you connect these to a different gpu or adapter. I have 2 other monitors connected, which are g1000 units for pfd and mfd. When i had them connected directly to the gpu, freesync became very erratic, causing a lot of weird hitching and stutters. Confirmed it’s a freesync issue, as pressing the windows key on the keyboard, with the sim still visable behind, stops the monitor from syncing, as the osd shows full 240hz, and the stutters stop completely… putting the sim back in focus, freesync comes back into play but so do the stutters.

I now have the other two monitors connected to a usb-hdmi adapter again, and freesync works great again.

With this setup now, I can easily run 5120x1440 res at 240hz, freesync premium pro active, 10 bit, hdr enabled (which is another thing I saw mentioned in this thread, that frame gen won’t work with hdr… well it seems to for me, hdr on in windows and in the sim). Everything seems to finally be working great, very smooth.

Not sure if any of the things I’ve mentioned have already been addressed earlier in the thread, but in case it helps anyone, thought I’d post.

As someone totally new to team red, the software is a bit daunting and confusing… but think I have it working well now.
