Download AMD Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 18.1.1 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. AMD just released their Radeon Adrenalin Edition 18.1.1 driver, this driver is not to be confused with the earlier released Alpha driver, this is not the official one. AMD Fixed some older DX9 titles as well as introducing new fixes.

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.

Introducing Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition, artfully designed and meticulously crafted to unleash the powerful performance and innovation built into Radeon Graphics through an incredibly intuitive and utterly beautiful user interface for both PCs and mobile devices.

Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.1.1 Highlights

Resolved Issues

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.

Known Issues

The .dll files appear to have both Microsoft and AMD signatures so these could be WHQL.
(Though the AMD download page still has the file in the \beta\ folder path and the setup exe refers to them as RC2 but they are signed by Microsoft in addition to having AMD's .dll signature.)

From the .INF file the driver is dated January 12th instead of January 4th (18.1.1 alpha.) and as listed the driver version is 23.20.15015.1002 compared to 23.20.15007.2002

Aside from supporting some additional mobile type GPU models like the WHQL drivers tend to do compared to the betas there's a few other changes in the .INF as well.

This was added to the existing 5 entries in this section, I can't even begin to guess what it does though the naming means nothing to me.

So that's where that log file suddenly came from and now it's in a different folder.

AND (Finally?)

HKR,, EnableAspmL1
HKR,, EnableAspmL0s

(New settings for, something?)

My demand for coffee just got multiplied by 3.

Hahaha.

Took AMD a while to test the final build driver before uploading it to the server which is why a day delay. but going to install this now. yesterday show Jan16 but it show Jan18 odd, maybe it was a error or mistake on AMD side.
