Download AMD Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 18.1.1 Alpha driver. Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, designed to give gamers deeply immersive gameplay and inspired by today’s era of social, connected gaming. This early access driver is being provided for users who have had issues launching a small number of DirectX 9 based games. This alpha driver has not been fully tested by AMD and is not recommended for general use.
The Adrenalin drivers seem to have caused issues with a handful of 10-year old games running on the older DirectX 9 API and a growing number of people are complaining about the fact that AMD hasn't done and isn't doing anything to address the issues. Some of the games affected are crashing at startup: C&C3 Tiberium Wars, C&C3 Kane's Wrath, C&C Red Alert 3, C&C Red Alert 3 Uprising, C&C4 Tiberian Twilight, Battle for Middle Earth 1-2 and Witcher Enhanced Edition.
We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here. We also have a background article ready for this driver which you may read, right here. Let me re-iterate that this is classified as an Alpha driver, not even Beta!
Package Contents
The Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.1.1 Alpha installation package contains the following:
- Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.1.1 Alpha Driver Version 17.50.07.02 (Windows Driver Store Version 23.20.15007.2002)

I havent tried it recently, but ill give it a try.
It works just fine. Loading times are fine and so is performance. Game has never been 100% smooth, but its good enough to enjoy.
Now thats is weird. For me it's complete unplayable.

Is hardware acceleration on in the browser? I'd try that first though it depends on the browser in question with Firefox seemingly being more affected by it compared to Chrome or Edge.
Beyond that you have state switches and power management possibly not being 100% reliable so it'll have to be a bios edit and a lot of testing to find stable values and trying to avoid Wattman overclocking.
Other posts just recommend going back to 17.11.4 and skipping Adrenaline for the moment, hard to say which of these are correct or perhaps there's a few different issues in play so it could be a factor of several issues.
No Internet browser was open when it happened. My power management is 100% reliable, system and graphics card wise, and I don't use Wattman at all. I've rolled back to 17.12.2 for the moment and I'll keep testing it.
I've been told on another forum that the same symptoms are happening for some people after Microsoft's security updates for Meltdown and Spectre.
Thanks for the suggestions, JonasBeckman!
