Introducing the New Radeon™ Software Adrenalin Edition 21.4.1

So saw 21.4.1 come up and clicked the install in the software. It started to check everything, then came up with the 'Error 206 - Radeon Software Install Cannot Proceed Due to a Pending Windows Install or Update. Please Restart Windows Before Running Radeon Software Install'
Well there wasn't any Windows update software running software, so I rebooted. Same thing happened. So I downloaded the new driver software from AMD and also the clenup utility. Ran the cleanup utility, which then rebooted my PC into safe mode, and nothing happened. Tried running the cleanup software in safemode, but it wouldn't run. Rebooted the PC, then found myself in a safemode loop!! MSCONFIG and undo the safemode loop.
Booted again properly and ran the downloaded 21.4.1 driver software and everything appears to be ok now.
Do people have problems with the update facility in the Radeon Software??

Only updated through the driver software a couple of times but not had issues when I have done. Normally just download from AMD site because I forget you can do it in drivers

I think in future, I think I'll just download the drivers from AMD and update that way.

Yup, I had this exact error message. I checked the installer logs and narrowed it down to the Microsoft VC++ 2017 update that it was trying to install, but since it was already covered by a different redistributable on my PC, it errored with a message about "a newer version is installed". I had to uninstall the VC++ redistributables in the end, and install the 2017 one specifically. That allowed the driver installer to complete successfully.
Yeah always the safest bet in my opinion
One of the new features is a new on screen overlay graph. I really like it.
You can customize the size, metrics, colours, transparency, position etc.
Love the new overlay. It really highlights just how crap my 6800 is performing in Destiny 2....
(Yay for another new driver without any news on a fix - also no update from Bungie on the same matter). In other news the 6800 absolutely shreds in Hitman 3 with VRR to 4K (1080p 240Hz IPS screen because clearly I am a peasant...*) so I am happy.
The Destiny 2 issue is known and under investigation, that's all i know.Love the new overlay. It really highlights just how crap my 6800 is performing in Destiny 2....

Thanks for the update!
Its more than the community is getting from Bungie themselves (main thread on their forums was last updated Jan 29th!).For you guys that just want the min feature install.
"Capture & Streaming" only seems available with the Full Install - does that mean I can't use Radeon ReLive (screen recording) with the Minimal Install?
Cheers,
Su
Yes.

Wish you could see more of the CPU metrics on the overlay, and disable non important others.

You can turn them off from the performance tab.
But can you turn on CPU clock, voltage, etc, and show them in the overlay?

Not that I can see. Maybe something for the future AMD could add.
When I first saw the new driver features advertised, this is what i thought it was bringing. having to tab out to see what my CPU is doing defeats the object.
its a good feature, but not quite what it should be.
Yeah am sure this will improve over time.

Yeah my thoughts exactly, having all the cpu monitoring options is nice but not being able to had simple thing like cpu temperature to the overlay is a major oversight imo
