It takes few seconds to make a custom CF profile. Seriously is that such huge issue?

This all that option did was force AFR-Friendly you can force this for that game you want.

Ah yeah didn't notice that

Still, it is an annoying issue that has plagued me for ages now, sometimes going incognito works, other times not.

Just tested on Chrome and when I click display results nothing happens.. Seems the site is bugged.

Same for me on FF, its been like it ages

I just get them from the Latest AMD Drivers and Software box right next to that one.

Matt can you explain the reason why the Crossfire option for games without a profile has vanished? Seems like a pointless removal to me. I know you can make a profile for seperate games but ticking that was just easier.

okay, im trying to be calm but i really want to swear and hurl things at the wall.

is there some secret to installing catalyst on a laptop with switchable graphics? if someone knows of a guide that shows me how to that would be great and deeply aprecheated.

currently everytime it try it only installs "amd install manager" which seems to be nowhere and do nothing.

Does anyone else has black screens with firefox at full screen with 15.12?

individual game profiles are not working either. When I go to a game profile and choose to disable crossfire, go back to home then go back to that game profile, crossfire is back on default again. Nothing seems to save or stick.

Good job again AMD bravo. I'm getting close to chinning these cowboys off along with my freesync monitor and never coming back. Quite frankly getting sick if this now.

Tony was this a clean driver install? When Crimson first came out I had issue were some settings wouldn't save.
I used DDU for first time in ages and installed driver again and settings worked.

TonyTurbo78 · 11 Jan 2016 at 15:54

uninstalled the previous driver via the Catalyst Manager and installed the new once it was removed.

Crimson has been running very smoothly for me since the first update, I'm not on freesync though just a basic 60hz panel.

uninstalled and done a DDU, reinstalled latest drivers again and the single game profiles seem to be saving now thank god. Cheers mate, although we all know how to do these things, sometimes you just get caught up in rage without actually thinking logically and doing a few tests first haha.

Yeah you should be good from now on with crimson.. guess its just a bug coming from CCC to Crimson.

The only game profile showing up as a tile for me beside "Global Settings" is 3DMark.

Uninstalled Crimson 15.12s via the driver's uninstaller in Programs and features (on night on Crimson 16.1 release), rebooted, installed 16.1s with Administrator rights.

Most game profile need to be added manually. For me it's mostly the games I have on other hard drives.

That could be it, all my Steam libraries are on other HDDs/SSDs besides my O/S Samsung 951.

These have been out for days now, check the previous page in the thread.

Also, they are named as a hotfix driver, not beta, hence they are WHQL also
