what card / monitor / cable connection are you using?

when you place your mouse cursor over the free sync enabled button does the range read correct for your monitor? i.e my says 40-144?
got it to work, the reason i ask is to check windows has not altered the refresh rate of the monitor knocking the free sync range out after installing the drivers

Does anyone know why Wattman doesn't report the correct fan speed nor can you control the fan speed in wattman after you installed MSI AB. Even though MSI AB isn't launched?

Thanks for the tip, yes, it reports 40-75hz as expected.
Definitely something fishy in the drivers but AMD not got round to finding out what it seems as others are around with same issue with different hardware.
Still broken with 18.8.2
That is a slight downside to having so many APIs available: having to google which actually offers better performance for each game I play. Still, better than being stuck on DX11 forever!

I don't hold out any hope of it ever getting fixed, 3 driver releases its been broke and they won't even acknowledge it as a "known issue" let alone fix it.

Meh, I may be tempted to go "Green", whoever is in charge of AMD driver development needs a grade "A" firecracker shoved up their butt.
Maybe the grass is not always greener but I would sure give it a go

When was the last time you looked at the Nvidia official forums for driver bugs? Here you have 1 person complaining about 1 game.
There you will find dozens of threads, hundreds of pages long. Gsync still broken for many monitor since March, with latest windows. Sound isn't working on many Freesync monitors since Sep 2016.
The list is big yet brushed under the carpet in here...

@NightSt@lk3r guys it seems this is issue with some game patch and not the drivers only.
Last few months Nvidia drivers are experiencing same issues with interior lighting.
Check if this solution is relevant to you

Why you don't connect the monitor to DP? Get a rated cable.

@Gimpymoo are you using hdmi or display port cable?
Thanks Panos - unfortunately I can't see it being anything other than driver. Reason being if I switch back to 18.6 or before the interior lighting is correct. All driver releases since it's not working.
I haven't played the game properly for months anyway so when I do decide to finish it I'll roll back for a bit. Just be nice if it was addressed

Nvidia drivers are way worse AND they are bloated and contain spyware. It's one of the reasons I switched to AMD!
That and I had 4 Geforce cards in a row which degraded and became unstable on stock clocks :/

18.8 and 18.7 are beta drivers....

Stupid question: Is the refresh rate set correctly in Windows? Settings-System-Display-Advanced display settings-Monitor tab. Just asking as mine has reset itself to 60 in the past after updates etc...
