I spoke way too soon on these drivers. Unfortunately they've been a bit of a disaster for any graphically intensive games :/
Freshly installed 16.9.1 using DDU before (in safe mode) and have been able to play old/simple games (FTL, Deponia), but seen the following crashes on others:
- Batman: Arkham Origins - Loads to start screen, then crashes with a "Fatal Error! Address = 0xc739fd (filename not found) "
- Shadow of Mordor - Loads to start screen then "Video Device Removed or Reset"
- Dota 2 - Runs for about 5 mins, then screen freezes in Windowed mode, goes black in full screen mode (sound and controls still work)
I've now rolled back to 16.7.3 (again using DDU in between) and it's all working fine, no freezes or crashes anywhere.
Setup is a 4GB Nitro RX480, Windows 10 Pro, LG Freesync 29'' ultrawide
I don't have Gaming Evolved or any other recording software installed and the errors were received with custom fan and wattman profiles and when resetting everything back to default :/
