AMD Releases Adrenalin 26.11.1 Optional Driver: Fixes Abnormal SSD Writes, Discloses Multiple Known Game Compatibility Issues

IT Home, November 13 news: AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.11.1 Optional graphics driver is now available. This update focuses on fixing the previously widely reported abnormal writes to the system drive, and also discloses multiple known issues and workarounds related to game and platform compatibility.

• Fixes an issue where Radeon RX 7000 series and newer graphics cards continuously perform abnormal writes to the system drive when the system is idle; this issue was previously reported to reach write rates of 0.3MB/s to 5MB/s, with cumulative writes in a single day exceeding 400GB at the highest, potentially affecting SSD lifespan.

• Fixes an issue where moving or resizing application windows triggers abnormal writes to the system drive.

• When playing Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Remastered on Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards, intermittent application crashes or driver timeouts may occur;

• When playing War Thunder on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics cards, intermittent driver timeouts may occur; users encountering this issue are advised to roll back to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.9.1;

• On some Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards, when playing video on a secondary monitor, if AMD FSR Super Resolution, Radeon Anti-Lag, and in-game frame generation in Cyberpunk 2077 are enabled at the same time, intermittent application crashes or driver timeouts may occur; it is recommended to disable in-game frame generation;

• On devices equipped with Ryzen AI Max PRO 400 series processors, when playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, using Alt+Tab to switch windows may cause the game to become unresponsive;

• On devices equipped with Ryzen AI 9 400 series processors, a black screen may occur when launching Gears of War: Remastered; it is recommended to first switch the game's display mode to windowed, then switch back to fullscreen;

• In some regions where HuggingFace and GitHub cannot be accessed normally, installation of AI Bundle components may fail;

• After installing the driver on Windows 10, AMD Smart Access Memory may be automatically disabled;

• When playing Ghost of Tsushima: Zero on Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards, visual artifacts may occur in the character's hair area; it is recommended to disable the high-quality hair effects in the game;

• When playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered on Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards, black screen corruption may occur.

This driver is an optional version, aimed at Radeon series discrete graphics cards and Ryzen AI series integrated graphics platforms, supporting Windows 10 64-bit version 1809 and above and Windows 11 systems.
