AMD introduced the second April driver - Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.2. The key innovation this time around are optimizations for two upcoming games: Gears Tactics and multiplayer asymmetric shooter Predator: Hunting Grounds.
In addition, a number of problems have been fixed in the driver:
- Radeon RX Vega series accelerators exhibited a system freeze or black screen when launching Folding@Home while the application was running with hardware acceleration of video content;
- System crashes or freezes when using the Edge browser to play Netflix content.
- XSplit application crashes or freezes when performing a scene switch;
- Stuttering when performing a task switch with performance overlays in some games
- Overwatch intermittently crashes when entering the game or during long gaming sessions;
- The Radeon RX 5700 system intermittently experienced a black screen or loss of display during gaming or on the desktop on some monitors.
- Radeon Software would throw an application error when launching a game with non-alphanumeric characters in the title.
- when hardware acceleration was enabled, Radeon RX Vega graphics cards called Microsoft Teams;
- "Unable to get requirements" error message intermittently appeared when viewing the Upgrade Advisor tab in Radeon Software.
- Radeon RX Vega accelerators cause a system crash or TDR with Instant Replay or Record Desktop enabled.
- Fixed an installation issue that was causing error 1603 due to an invalid Visual C++ definition.
AMD engineers continue to fix a number of other issues on some configurations:
- extended sync causes a black screen;
- Using the Edge web browser to play video content on systems with multiple displays results in system freezes or crashes after extended periods of use.
- Performance metrics overlaid and Radeon WattMan incorrectly reports higher than expected idle clock speeds of the Radeon RX 5700.
- changing the HDMI Scaling slider may cause the frequency to be locked at 30 fps;
- some games intermittently stutter on Radeon RX 5000 series accelerators;
- Radeon RX Vega series graphics cause a system crash or TDR when playing with Instant Replay enabled.
- artifacts on the desktop or in the game when HDR is enabled;
- some users may still experience black screen or system freeze issues after extended periods of gameplay;
- Some laptop owners are experiencing BSOD when installing Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition over an existing graphics driver.
Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.4.2 driver can be downloaded on Windows 64 or Windows 7 10-bit versions from both , or from the Radeon Settings menu. It is dated April 23, designed for video cards and integrated graphics of the Radeon HD 7000 family and higher.
