I'm getting this on every boot. Not even overclocked.
This is on a RX480 and it didn't do this on the last drivers.
On 17.4.1? I'll check it out.
Not seen any reports, but that game is not released and buggy/unoptimised from what I've heard.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried 17.4.1, 17.3.1 and 17.2.1 and the game crashes with each. Essentially it is unplayable with the RX 480 with my system and card even at stock settings, as I can't complete a round unless I die early.
I've tried stressing my system in every way to see if it would reveal instability or issues under other circumstances; I have run Memtest for 12 hours and run the Unigine Heaven demo at ultra settings whilst running a custom Prime95 test concurrently for 4 hours. Both have been error and crash free.
It's frustrating as performance is good and much better than the nvidia card it replaced! Please let me know if I can report my issue somewhere. I know from the Battlegrounds forums that other RX 480 users are having problems too.
Yeah I was only getting this error under 17.4.1. I have since gone back to 17.2.1 and that particular issue has stopped occurring.
Under 17.4.1 Battlegrounds would crash with that error.
Under 17.2.1 and 17.3.1 Battlegrounds would crash without that error and the crash reporter for the game would appear.

Maybe this might explain your crash?
PSA We're investigating the memory crash some of you are experiencing currently. We will push an update to resolve the problem shortly!

Thanks, but that's not the source of my problems. Something odd is going on and I can't figure out what!
The final thing I am going to try is reinstalling Windows, but that will have to likely wait until the weekend. However, I don't know if that will do any good, as when changing cards and trying different drivers, I have always done so with a clean install using DDU.
/EDIT/ I'm pleased to say that reinstalling Windows via USB to the latest version has completely solved all my issues
/EDIT x2/ I spoke to soon, still getting crashes. For whatever reason, Saturday night was charmed.

Ohhh I didn't notice the update bringing ASW to older cards. This is fantastic news for me, my 295-X2 can last in my VR rig until a really beefy AMD card is available to replace it.
I'm still a little disappointed that after all this time I have no clear AMD upgrade path available, but on the other (more important) hand, the 295-x2 and the 290 crossfire cards have been fantastic value. Can't wait to see Vega!

17.4.2 is out in the wild.
If Freesync seems to be broken, ensure display scaling is set to 100% by...
Right-click on desktop
Display settings
Custom scaling
Change value you see to another number and hit apply
Change number again to 100 and hit apply
Hit the sign out now link

Interesting.. is that something you found out yourselves or did you read it elsewhere? and thanks for sharing btw.

Read about 100% scaling fixing Freesync at guru3d iirc.

Just installed the Windows Creators Update, have an old issue appear again now though. I've got that annoying flickering screen problem on the desktop and in games again. If you don't know it, its when your on the desktop and you right click or left click something, or rapidly move the mouse around, the screen flickers. When disabling Freesync though the issue seems to disappear, likely to be issue with Freesync again.
I've just looked and seen the new driver above, just downloading now so will report back to see if that fixes it.
Edit. Installation just black screens halfway way through install, I've so many issue after installing this creator update, seriously I've got some very strange goings on but that's another topic for another section.
