We have a discussion thread open on these drivers right here, we have a background article on Adrenalin for this driver which you may read, right here. As always you know where you can grab the drivers from our local 10 gigabit/s server.

- A black screen may be experienced when running full screen games on the Samsung CF791 Radeon FreeSync enabled display.
- Netflix™ playback in a browser or via UWP application may experience stutter.
- Radeon Overlay performance metrics may appear and disappear intermittently during updates.
- Color Temperature controls may change colors on the incorrect display when using the reset option.
- Star Wars™: Battlefront II may experience graphical corruption in some areas of the game.
Known Issues
- 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.

Finally! It was mentioned as fixed in 17.12.1 but it wasn't, now I can confirm, Netflix is smooth as butter like it was in drivers 17.7.2 and before. No more system stutter!

17.50.07.01 from December 17th compared to 17.50.02 from December 6th in the previous driver.
Crossfire profile changes:
F1 2017
PlayerUnknown's BattleGrounds
Star Wars Battlefront 2
DXX profile changes:
Need for Speed Payback (Added.)
PXDynamic profile changes:
Forza Motorsport 7 (Exe name, forzamotorsport7.exe from forza_uap_release.exe )
(Also done for the CHILL profile for the game, guessing the devs renamed the exe in a later update?)
EDIT: So yeah first of the bug fix drivers after 17.12.1 "Adrenaline" with some pretty good fixes though still a number of known issues.
No idea if the hardware vertex issue is resolved, seems to affect primarily older games but even so it seems pretty important.

For those using Win8.1 64bit: these 17.12.2 (Win7 64bit driver version of course) are working just fine on Win8.1 64bit. Just did an install and test of these 17.12.2 on one HTPC running Win8.1 64bit paired with R7 360 and not a single problem so far.

Thanks for reporting. It would be great if the W10 driver started supporting the latest 1607 LTSB too.

Driver 17.12.2 for Win7 64bit installed on Win8.1 64bit, simple install process without anything modified on drivers or Windows side. Did that few times before with few previous ReLive drivers and never had or saw any issues.
Somewhere I've found and wrote down what needs to be modified in Win10 64bit drivers so that these can be installed in Win8.1 64bit but didn't wanted to bother with it.

With this driver I could, again, disable Crossfire per game. Something I could not do since, oh, 16.something... and had to disable Crossfire globally for old misbehaving games. Anyways, good driver indeed.

Same here, but still missing that "GPU Workload" switch and filled another bug report about it. Hope they will fix it,
I'm playing games only, so not a big deal for me.
