  • Fixed Issues and Improvements

    • Lower than expected performance may be observed while using llama.cpp. This may also impact Ollama and LM Studio.
    • Texture corruption may appear while playing The Crew™ Motorfest.
    • System crash may be observed when first launching SteamVR while using Valve Index® at 144Hz on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products.
    • Intermittent application freeze may be observed while loading a save file in Monster Hunter: World.
    • Intermittent application crash may be observed while playing Fortnite on Radeon™ RX 5000 series and above series graphics products.
    • H.264 encoding may not work as expected while using OBS Studio with Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting.

Known Issues

  • Intermittent driver timeout or crash may be observed while playing Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370. Users experiencing this issue can enable Variable Graphics Memory in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition as a temporary measure (AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition → Performance → Tuning → Variable Graphics Memory).
  • Intermittent stutter may be observed while playing Marvel Rivals when AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 frame generation is enabled. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to disable AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 frame generation in the per-game settings as a temporary workaround.
  • After using the AMD Cleanup Utility for Windows®, the AMD Bug Report Tool may appear intermittently during a new driver install on AMD Ryzen™ 7000 and above series processors paired with AMD Graphics Products.
  • HEVC encoding may not work as expected while using OBS Studio with Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting.
  • Limitations for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2) support can be found here.

Bah! No mention of MSFS 2024 support.

I hope it will recognize 2024 as a game, anyhow, and allow for performance features to be utilized.

Actually it’s second in the list of new supported games! I also hope the Adrenalin software can now recognise the Microsoft Store installation. A new driver was seriously overdue.

Oh! How weird, I clicked Release Notes in Adrenaline itself and the linked file didn’t mention it.

I see you have it in your OP.

Great news!

Adrenaline now recognizes MSFS 2024 too with 24.12.1 if you are on MS Store (it wasn’t before). Also, some early reports of a noticeable uptick in FPS: https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftFlightSim/comments/1h7gym5/new_amd_drivers_adrenalin_edition_24121_small/

I’ll try it later today and find out myself.

Loaded back in with Fenix A320 at Inibuilds KSAT with 24.12.1 and with AFMF on. I’m getting ~40fps natively at the gate and AFMF works to get up to 60-80fps (though with screen tearing that I can’t stand). I’d say it’s marginally smoother on 1% lows, but I’m getting more VRAM use (now at nearly 17.5GB).

That is getting up there.

Yup. Tried the same scenario in MSFS 2020 and only pulled 12.5GB of VRAM and 20GB of system RAM, though the fps was about the same on average. More stable, though, as I had more memory headspace. Granted, 2020 was on DX11 so it’s not apples-to-apples.

Interestingly enough the general AMD driver web site is still showing v24.10.1 and not the new v24.12.1 version linked above. :thinking:
