AMD Radeon 12.2 Video Card Drivers Now Available

Ouch, that's some terrible issues. :(

Always wondered how they QA drivers if the most popular game titles aren't amongst the tests.

I wonder if these are the same as the preview drivers Ive had installed for a month here ...

if they are - Ive gotten vpu error recoveries quite a bit with them (pretty sure they are driver related (used different gpus).

hmmm ya - just making sure was wondering why I was getting these vpu error recoveries; this pretty much confirms it with others having graphics glitches also. (Ive had these drivers since early feb 1 month; you would have thought they would have tested em like others have said ...) I thought it was perhaps my gpu - until I upgraded a couple days ago.
 
Hmmm just updated to these and now my graphics card is not recognised by catalyst. If I uninstall and try and update the display driver under windows it says "module not supported" I'm now stuck with an 800x600 desktop and unable to get any drivers to install.. ?? My graphics card shows up as an unknown device under device manager..

Edit - I'm even unable to install the standard windows driver as well, seems either my card has died or these drivers have screwed up my Windows installation. I have tried removing all traces of AMD drivers but I'm still unable to install any drivers for the card.

Have you tried - uninstalling all gpu drivers; doing a clean of them errr what do they call it??? ...
then reinstalling the full catalyst package and going from there?

Just done that and nothing. I have managed to get windows to install a basic driver but any sort of Catalyst installation fails or is unable to open.

I have just connected my 80GB backup/Test drive which has a basic windows install with drivers and it ran fine. So it seems these new 12.2 drivers have screwed up my windows install which is a first.... :mad:
 
Just managed to get 12.1 working ok as far as I can tell. If I update or fresh install to 12.2 I get no display driver installed messages when opening catalyst. If I try and update the drivers by Windows device manager I get "the driver is not intended for this platform" although it lists my card as a 6900 series ???

Never had anything like this before....
 
should have posted this here, anyway

Hey! Yesterday I stumbled upon the problem of not being able to enable unofficial OC in MSI Afterburner after installing the latest amd drivers.

AMD has removed two dll files in Catalyst 12.2 that still existed in version 12.1. Therefore if 12.2 happens to be the first driver you install on your new system you won't have those two dll files on your computer. This causes MSI Afterburner to fail to set the unofficial overclocking values.

To fix the problem you need to download the two dll files and place them in your system folder. The files should be placed like this:

atipdl64.dll - to - \Windows\System32\
atipdlxx.dll - to - \Windows\SysWOW64\

You need to REBOOT afterwards.

The files can be downloaded here:

Do this at your own risk. This solution might or might not work with future Catalyst releases.
 
You just need to copy either file depending on your OS and I don't remember the need to reboot afterwards - MSI Afterburner picked it up right after the file was in the system folder.

This issue has been present in the recent unofficial releases and it doesn't look like AMD will be doing anything about it.
