Hello, when i install the Driver via the App my TrackIR is not working anymore and the PC restart on Game-Launch. Tested 2 times, Install and Gamestart.

Btw - some are reporting stutters with Adrenalin v24.6.1 in some apps due to shader cache issues. I’ve seen a few stutters myself with the sim that were unexpected but not bad enough to drop back to the previous release.

Check out this video for more info.

Thanks for the heads-up. Personally in MSFS, which pre-compiles its shaders, I haven’t seen a change in performance or stuttering with these drivers, though I don’t have any unofficial content installed which might behave differently. In other games (particularly those made in Unreal Engine which typically compiles shaders at draw time) it will cause issues though.

I’ve pretty much decided 24.6.1 is completely broken. The sim would start crashing so hard that the system would hang and completely reboot the computer before the first loading screen would start. Unfortunately this driver, a Windows update, a large and unknown sim update on first launch, and another program update all dropped at the same time because I’m not always at my computer to catch these things as they drop.

I was pulling my hair out several hours this morning trying to figure out what was happening, and another hour or two tonight. After pouring over the event viewer and a couple of DDU cleaning and reinstalls of this driver with no luck, I decided to try rolling back to 24.5.1 and all my problems went away.

No idea why it was causing me so much grief, but I can’t even start the sim on it, much less fly it. I’ll stay put until the next driver.

Oh, and this was also after I sorted out a problem with Smart Access Memory not working after updating the driver.
