I thought it was widely regarded as a 'thing' with AMD GPU's.
Even Raja mentioned it himself.

Constant crashing on BF1 again with 17.11.2

Not tried bf1 yet but in everything else this seems like a good driver to me
Game profiles are working properly again which is nice

Anyone getting error 1603 installing latest drivers? Installs fine on my Vega56, but wont install on my RX480 crossfire system, and now NO AMD driver will install. Ive followed all the steps on AMD's page but nothing seems to be working. Maybe i should unplug one card and try single card to install? Why is this soooo hard

i presumed you have tried a ddu?Anyone getting error 1603 installing latest drivers? Installs fine on my Vega56, but wont install on my RX480 crossfire system, and now NO AMD driver will install.

I get those every now and again but it doesn't always effect anything. If you click on the detail or report it will list what it failed on specifically and then given you an overall fail or success at the bottom. If the overall one hasn't failed then you should be able to use the drivers ok. For me it's usually an HDMI audio fail...Anyone getting error 1603 installing latest drivers?

yeh just tried that and managed to install "fine", however one card is missing. hmm.

Bah, yet more bloatware added to the already super bloated drivers in an attempt to out bloatware Nvidia's bloatware drivers >.>
I just want a slim driver with no bundled software crap like they used to make /cry
If I want to overclock the card or run overlays the are better optional/aftermarket apps for it.
It's a real shame because from a GUI POV Catalyst was always way better than Detonator/Forceware

I don't have another CPU to rule it out but Star wars battlefront 2 works without lowering clocks. However these two videos show a serious bug which has been the same since all compatible vega drivers (but works with driver before vega compatible drivers).

Interesting I have had this happen twice in past month, each time I was using Google Chrome.
Yep, ridiculous when driver packages start to be as large as whole Windows XP CD image.Bah, yet more bloatware added to the already super bloated drivers in an attempt to out bloatware Nvidia's bloatware drivers >.>

If its anything like Relive it will be an optional install.. Not sure if you know this but if you don't want any software and only the basic you can download the AMD Minimal Setup package
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows 10 - 64
This has always been available from what I have seen.
Oh so that only installs the driver not the bloatware?
From the description it just sounded like it scans your system and installs your specific driver + bloatware (as opposed to the regular version that contains every driver made in the last half decade).
Soldato
From what I understand you select what you want to install.
I have everything installed from AMD and my install package size is only 356mb wouldn't call that bloatware tbh considering the size off games and applications these days that is quite small. Even if you never touched Wattman, Game profiles or Relive "Optional" would you ever notice this space being used up?
Am not sure what the fuss is about here? Missing something?
To be fair, built-in OSD monitoring sounds great - it's one of the essential third-party apps you always need and I'm not overly impressed by any of the third party options anyway. If they do it right and make it easily customisable then I'm all for it. As long as everything is optional during the install, of course. I'd still want the option to install just a driver and control panel, no ReLive or Redux.
If the OSD monitoring is good and they finally add proper fan control to Crimson then I won't need Afterburner and RTSS at all.
