Adding a Known Issue to the 16.1.1 Hotfix driver release notes.

Known Issues
Fallout 4 - Flickering may be experienced at various game locations with the v1.3 game update and with AMD Crossfire™ enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable AMD Crossfire™.

New Driver finally gives Fallout 4 crossfire profile.
Has issues.
Temp fix = Disable crossfire.

You have to laugh

I have an issue with these drivers, afterburner doesn't reconise the fan profile on my second card so it hits 95c and in monitoring in afterburner it shows clock speed etc but will not show voltage on the second card also.

So Fallout 4 crossfire problem is game patch issue?
Well they did add some new effects, like:

New ambient occlusion setting, HBAO+ (PC)

Surely they had access to the 1.3 beta.

It's sabotage :eek:

Yup, and its the same for ROTTR on Win 7 as well, recommended to disable Xfire in that too.

Does steam allow you to roll back a patch to 1.2 on FO4?

Iv'e gotta admit there seems to be nothing but issues with these crimson drivers? Ive never really had any issues with AMD drivers on a single card except since ive tried using Crimson. I might actually roll back to be honest. I would have thought AMD would have done abit more in house testing. I'm sure things will get sorted but i'm disappointed because it's always been flawless for me until now.

Just out of curiousity, what are the problems that are issues to you personally. As I'm not crossfire user, I have no problems with current games I play. Only problem I have with crimsons is the bouncing clocks on fury, but that's why clockblocker app is there. Games run pretty much very well for me.

Black screens, crimson having issues with MSI afterburner or just overclocking in general. Fallout 4 doesn't play nice for me anymore which has been recognised now and im glad as i thought at one point my card was dieing lol. And odd times my display just looses signal which is weird as it never does it on the old drivers. Even got a new cable and that didn't solve my issue. I just think im going to roll back from the crimson drivers until they get a few things fixed first. My old drivers was flawless and couldn't complain. I just thought id give crimson a try to see if there was any improvements performance wise but its hard to tell without my overclocks lol.

My game isn't using much of the 8GB RAM as in above screenies, although like the VRAM usage, it slowly rises as you get further in. Seen the likes of Bf 4 etc. use more RAM than this so I think 8GB should be fine at least when the memory leak issue is fixed.

But yeah, I wonder if the denuvo DRM is causing some performance issues, stops piracy (at least for a while) but it causes issues

I'm serious about RAM, if you not sure - lend from your friend and test.

Whoops, didn't have exclusive fullscreen enabled, enabled that as well as FXAA and disabled vignette & depth of field:

Stats still a bit similar.

I really need polaris/pascal GPU or/and a 34" 1440 freesync screen now

EDIT:

And yeah I am pretty sure this game needs a patch, VRAM usage is low at first but builds up slowly + CPU usage shouldn't be that low, should it?!

I also confurm VRAM leaks in ROTR. Thanks Mr. Huang.

Maybe but for me with my settings, 8GB seems ok, at least until I play the game for more than a hour maybe....

It stutters when game use more than 8gb of ram. It uses windows pagefile.

So does the hotfix make the performance better or what?

Can't say I noticed any difference on my system with Tomb Raider. But Division beta am sure gained some boost.

Armadillo · 2 Feb 2016 at 23:25

Not sure whether to update to crimson or not

.

I was waiting for the tomb raider drivers, but it seems they are just for crossfire and I played and finished the game fine on 15.7.1 with no issues (capped to 30 with rtss, as a single 290 won't get 60 and the fluctuations annoyed me).

And what I have is working fine, so not sure whether to update or wait till I actually need to.

Also there are two on the page? 15.12 and 16.1.1 hotfix, obvisouly the 16.1.1 is newer, but why is 15.12 still there? Is 15.12 the last stable/whql or they just leave it there for some reason?

LoadsaMoney · 2 Feb 2016 at 23:40

Good to know it plays fine on older drivers, as im still on the 15.9.1 BETAs.

Matson · 3 Feb 2016 at 01:49

I wonder why tomb raider on very high textures is really stuttery once you get to the Snowy soviet place but before that it was perfect.

Assuming 1.3 is still beta - I think it is, I haven't seen my copy update in a while - I would think you could just uncheck the beta participation box then validate the game files and in theory (imo at least) it should patch the game back to 1.2, as 1.2 would be what it's validating against in steams servers
