AMD graphics - they want us to rollback to september?
|
Very helpful thread, replying just if this helps anybody
Like posted here and how I see it, if you get the error message about driver incompability and encounter crashes, you either have to downgrade your drivers or wait for a fix. It is an unlucky optimization issue/bug and that AMD released new drivers as PoE launched 0.4 I have over 900 hours in this game so I sure hope they fix it asap or my holiday plans are ruined. I have the latest AMD drivers 25.12.1 and get the error message but I can still access the game on Dx12. However, I can't play since my computer crashes so bad it restarts every 10 minutes, especially with CoA Comet and Frost Nova and when encountering rare monsters or bosses. Tried Vulkan but that just wont work, the loading screens take 15 minutes and not all skills or monsters are rendered. Changing back from Vulkan to Dx12 didn't work because of deadlock, so I first had to change from Vulkan to Dx11 and then from Dx11 to Dx12. Shaders are in unbearable state and clearing shader caches wont work, because once you start the game they'll be full again. Please GGG and AMD gods, fix this issue for us AMD users. We don't want to downgrade drivers to lock us out from playing other games, customers shouldn't have to choose. |

I'm pretty sure game dev team and driver dev team get to work on things BEFORE the driver release. This notion of "oh no there was no time" doesn't fly. If this is the quality we can expect, this game will never get out of EA status.

Was just about to start the league as planned due to holidays. But reading all this S**T i going to skip the league entirely.
It's f**king criminal to roll back drivers to play the game. If i wanted to play something else, what do i do if that game has driver issues because they are outdated?? Performance was bad anyway, optimization isn't great. Now this... Absolute poor. Good job there is a HC player base that stick round for this S**t. God know how we expect to retain new players... |

Yeah same issue here, decided to play again and was met by this message, and from the looks its a weeks old issue but has yet to be fixed or even adressed.

I got a brand new AMD RX 9060 XT 16g today and decided to play again after months aaaaand got the same issues as everyone else. No way Im downgrading drivers. GGG got to FIX this.
Meanwhile, playing Warframe. |

I had the same issue with the latest AMD drivers but doing a cleanup and reinstalling drivers seem to have fixed the problem. I still get the message when I lunch the game but no more issues running the game.

Rolled back my graphics driver...still happening. Don't care anymore. Not a good way to respect peoples time and its getting worse with two different versions of POE. You don't even bother to address it, you make people use a older version of the driver so it can still happen again.
GOOD JOB. |
