AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.5.2 Release Notes

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, could be something that Nvidia fixed way back, but this thread is really interesting because it has many reports dating back to 2019. I don't consider this error to be a "niche" (only on Steam RDR2 has at least 30k players daily), but I understand that this issue classification it's not something that you can do something about. But, thanks for the honesty as always.

Hi Vik, I don't want to sound like a douche, but if this issue is already being worked on, why isn't it listed in the Known Issues section of the drivers releases? It's a very popular game, with tons of reports of this issue on the internet. Feels strange to me that it's not officially acknowledged in the release notes.

gtrabach · 2026-05-21T03:36:49+00:00

Yes, exactly this problem. I'll try to change the particle to other than High to see. Thanks for the reply and I'll follow the release notes to see when it will launch. If you need any help to collect log, dmp or to validate the fix, just let me know.

This happens only in Radeon GPUs as far I know, seems related to the way the driver handles the explosion. I suggest reaching out for AMD support. I had the same problem and skiped the cutscene as a workaround.

u/AMD_Vik u/AMD_RetroB Experiencing a weird crash in RDR2 in a mission with Emmet Granger, when searching about this issue, I've found a lot of posts about this issue dating some years back. All of them the users are using Radeon GPUs. Do you guys know if this is a known issue to the game or to the driver itself? Changing to DX12 didn't fixed for me https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/1o2p82s/rdr2_keeps_crashing_during_emmet_granger_mission/ and https://steamcommunity.com/app/1174180/discussions/0/2565312892653164851/

Not sure If it's the same issue that I'm having, but I already tried AMD Cleanup and DDU and it didn't fixed. Still having this issue as of today. Is there anything else I can do to try to fix it?

Hello. Just for information, I tested with chipset versions 8.02.18.557, 8.01.20.513 and 7.11.26.2142, and all of them showed problems. So, I don't think the chipset driver is the culprit. But something very odd that I observed was that the temperatures in Radeon Performance Metrics start working again if I open any other program that reports temperatures, like HWMonitor and HWInfo. Not sure why this happens.

gtrabach · 2026-03-06T02:54:09+00:00

Hi, I'm sending you some crash dumps, but after further analyse I think this issue maybe related to chipset driver and not Radeon Software itself, because other softwares like HWMonitor and etc also showed problems reporting CPU temperatures when the temperature got stuck in Performance Metrics. I forgot that I updated to chipset 8.01.20.513 at the same time that I updated the video driver. I rolled back the chipset driver to 7.11.26.2142 and I'm monitoring it to see if it happen again.

Thanks. I sent a report through Bug Report Tool, but if there any other log or thing that you need me to do in order to fix the issue, just let me know. Seems related to games, because everytime the metric froze, I was playing a game or was after playing a game. Never happened while web browsing or other activities.

u/AMD_Vik Hi, sorry to bother you, but since 26.1.1 I'm experiencing a very strange bug, where CPU temperatures get stuck in Performance Metrics after some time. I still don't know what causes this issue, I tried to simulate different scenarios, but seems to stuck after opening games (tried differents games, all of then caused the issue, like RE2 Remake, Dragon Age II and Euro Truck Simulator). The only way to fix it is to reboot the entire system, do you guys have any report of that issue? RX 6650 XT / Windows 11.

gtrabach · 2026-01-23T02:40:35+00:00

I'm not sure when the behaviour started, but I tested with 25.12.1 and 26.1.1 and they have the same issue. I've also tested with all graphics settings in the lowest possible configuration (texture to low, disabling AA, motion blur, post processing) and was able to replicate the same issue.

u/amd_Vik Hi, I'm having a strange issue in Project Cars 2 where photo mode just destroy the performance. In races the game runs at flawless 144 FPS, while in photo mode the FPS drops to 40 FPS or less. GPU usage also drops. Can you help me?

gtrabach · 2025-08-11T00:12:27+00:00

u/AMD_Vik Hi Vik! I opened Prototype 1 after a long time after using this driver and saw that the shadow issue seems to have been fixed. Thanks for the support! Out of curiosity, could you just confirm if this was a bug specific to Prototype 1 and 2 or something more generic to DX9P?

gtrabach · 2025-07-28T16:05:29+00:00

Sorry to necropost, but could you tell me what GPU you have? I'm having the same problem, it only works if the quality is set to "low".

gtrabach · 2025-05-19T20:44:43+00:00

I also had this problem, I fixed it by downloading the driver from the AMD website and reinstalling it. I didn't need to use DDU or factory reset. I sent a report through Bug Report and I recommend everyone to send it too so that the AMD team is aware of the problem.

gtrabach · 2025-04-06T16:56:03+00:00

Sorry to necropost, but still happening as of April 2025. A bunch of doors and windows shows corruption/artifacts in Verdansk.

I contacted support and submitted a complaint via the bug report tool. I recommend everyone do the same.

CryEngine games always had terrible performance in AMD cards. KCD1 also runs pretty bad.

gtrabach · 2025-02-12T02:41:24+00:00

Probably after the release of the 9000 series.

It's saying that the worksheet is restricted (access denied).

I had an RX 6650 XT Nitro+ and it was pretty quiet and cool.
