Will they ever fix that​:sweat_smile:

Is HDR and QLOC support in SK for Nier Automata available publicly? Or is it still closed to the Discord server.

HA, they can’t fix an issue in WoW for many months now, since December. If they can’t fix stuff something in a game with WoW’s playerbase, I doubt Arkham Knight ever will be. lol

The download link at the top should include SK for Gamepass as well.

Anyone know how to stop fullscreen mode from toggling the monitor signal off and on? Just fullscreen-ing a video whether on Youtube or MPC now makes me lose signal temporarily :confused:

Is G-Sync enabled for both fullscreen and window modes? If so, set it to just be for fullscreen modes and restart the computer.

It was already set to fullscreen only, but changing to fullscreen + windowed and restarting my computer fixed it, thanks :+1:

Never use fullscreen + windowed – that way lies madness as it means Nvidia will enable their DWM hack that forces VRR to sync up with application windows that otherwise would not have it, such as a regular old window that happens to use hardware accelerated view of some sort.

What fixed the issue is probably the restart itself.

It’s been like this for a while (since the last Nv driver). Pretty sure i was on fullscreen only G-Sync prior to my settings being reset, and i was fine then.

Support For

Resident Evil Village™
Up to 13% increase in performance in Resident Evil Village @ 4K MAX settings, with Radeon™ Software Adrenalin 21.5.1 on the 16GB Radeon™ RX 6800XT graphics card, versus the previous software driver edition 21.4.1.RS-362
Metro Exodus PC Enhanced Edition™

Fixed Issues

Disco Elysium™ may experience texture flickering on trees with Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products.
Performance metrics may incorrectly report temperatures on Ryzen™ 5 1600 series processors.
Lower than expected performance may be experienced at 4K resolutions on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics products in some Payday 2™ missions.
Moonlight Blade™ may experience an application crash when entering a game with ray tracing enabled.
Green corruption may be observed in some video previews on the Radeon Software media pages or thumbnails.
Radeon Software hotkeys using the numpad may sometimes fail to correctly save or work after upgrading to a newer Radeon Software version.
Radeon Software recording and media files may intermittently fail to detect and tag Rainbow Six Siege™ screenshots, replays, or recordings.
Added Radeon Software game detection for some recently added Xbox Game Pass games.

Known Issues

Uninstalling or upgrading Radeon Software using the factory reset option may delete AMD chipset driver folders if they are stored in the same directory as the Radeon Software installation. Users who wish to perform a factory reset are recommended to use the AMD cleanup utility instead.
Resident Evil Village™ may experience an intermittent application hang or TDR on AMD Radeon VII graphics products in the first mission of the game.
Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.
Connecting two displays with large differences in resolution/refresh rates may cause flickering on Radeon RX Vega series graphics products.
Radeon performance metrics and logging features may intermittently report extremely high and incorrect memory clock values.
Radeon Software may experience a crash when Record & Stream tab is in use and a display is hot plugged.
Radeon FreeSync™ may intermittently become locked while on desktop after performing task switching between extended and primary displays upon closing a game, causing poor performance or stuttering. A system restart is a potential workaround if this is experienced.
Cyberpunk 2077™ may experience shadow corruption on Radeon RX 6000 series graphics when ray tracing is enabled.
The download or launch Ryzen Master buttons in Radeon Software may intermittently disappear or may fail to initialize Ryzen Master.
If Ryzen Master is not detected in Adrenalin software after installation, a system restart may be required.
DOTAÂŽ2 may experience flickering and corruption on RyzenTM Mobile 5000 series.
FPS logging may log incorrectly or fail to log on RyzenTM Mobile 4000 series and RyzenTM Mobile 5000 series.

AMD Link for Windows Known Issues

AMD is investigating isolated reports of intermittent loss of signal during Stream Optimization if HEVC is used on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products or later. A workaround is to use the AVC encoding setting instead.
Intermittent grey frame corruption might be observed when streaming with HEVC on certain configurations via an Internet connection. A workaround is to use the AVC encoding setting instead.

466.77 is out, 3070 Ti GPU support, game readiness for The Persistence and otherwise almost identical to 466.63 with the issue fixed by yesterdays 466.74 hotfix also included. :slight_smile:

One additional fixed issue as well.

This also fixes desktop flickering. I was getting that and it made me think my GPU was failing. With how the GPU market is right now, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack.

Hmm, I want to download and try it out for the supposed desktop flickering (for me I’ve related it to high refresh rate across too many monitors), but the hotfix I think this is based on broke MPOs for me… (nothing critical, but I’ve had fun experimenting with MPOs this last week).

Another one. :slight_smile:

You missed the actual Game Ready driver in-between. :smiley:

They put out the game ready driver with 3070 Ti support and then like a couple hours later released the 466.79 HF. Nvidia really slamming drivers out, lol. Wish they’d work on getting the 470 series out, especially the Linux one.
