AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.11.1 Releases

Today, AMD released the latest version of the adrenaline graphics driver, AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.11.1, which optimizes the performance of the three hottest masterpieces.

When running Battlefield 5 in the 1080P environment, the Vega 64 driven by 18.11.1 is 8% better than the 18.40.2 Vega 64; the RX580 performance is improved by 9% under the same conditions.

Fix bugs

  • A small number of DirectX®9 games may experience crashes or instability.
  • Radeon FreeSync enabled system configurations may experience stuttering when using the performance metrics feature in Radeon Overlay.
  • Protected video content may intermittently experience a freeze or hang during playback.
  • A blank screen may be experienced while playing back videos when using Movies & TV player.
  • Starcraft™2 may experience corruption in multi GPU enabled system configurations.
  • Bezel compensation controls when creating display groups may be misaligned or have no functionality.
  • Blank videos may be experienced when playing back videos in edge browser after the system resumes from sleep.
  • Color corruption may intermittently be observed in Radeon overlay with multiple gaming applications and performance metrics running.
  • The Radeon WattMan fan slider may intermittently fail to change after loading profiles.
  • Enhanced Sync may not enable for game profiles in Radeon Settings when using Vulkan™ API.
  • On multi GPU enabled system configurations Player Unknowns Battlegrounds™ may experience menu item flickering.
  • CLINFO may report incorrect values in multi GPU system configurations.

However, since it is a Beta version, there are definitely some problems:

    • Radeon Chill may fail to enable on Vulkan™ API games.
    • Radeon Overlay hotkey may fail to bring up the overlay or may cause a Radeon Host Application crash intermittently on a limited number of gaming titles.
    • Radeon FreeSync may cause stutter with Radeon ReLive Instant Replay enabled on some fullscreen games.
    • Radeon Settings may experience a hang when enabling AMD CrossFire with three or more graphics products.
    • Trimming videos may fail to create a thumbnail if the video contains non-English characters.
    • Flickering may be observed on the performance metrics overlay when Enhanced Sync is enabled on some Radeon FreeSync connected displays.
    • Performance Metrics Overlay may hang if enabled when cycling display power off and on.
    • The “Reset” function in Radeon Settings for Display, ReLive, and Video may not work as intended when using Radeon Settings in certain regional languages.
    • Radeon WattMan may intermittently fail to load profiles for Radeon RX Vega on the global Radeon Wattman page.
    • A random system hang may be experienced after extended periods of use on system configurations using 12 GPU’s for compute workloads.
    • The GPU Workload feature may cause a system hang when switching to Compute while AMD CrossFire is enabled. A workaround is to disable AMD CrossFire before switching the toggle to Compute workloads.
