Sadly for me, BF1 is an instant crash with Resade. It sucks.
BF4, and BC2 work with Reshade for me. BF1 is amazing with reshade. Such a shame.
Id kill to have reshade on FH3. It would look good on Apex, but I dont play apex because its BS and has no 21:9 support.
Wait, i will upload my Setup:
-> https://mega.nz/#F!0IFjjSTS!3f9W2AyhnMOImeBPszFL5w
check Reshade 2.3 + Sweet 2.0 (im on this with BF1/4)
or Origin Fix, and trust me it will work NP
:p
For ON/OFF is pause/break key
Screene = prt sc

Btw, after resurrecting an asus 7870 dcii v2, I could check 18.1.1s on CGN 1.0. Unfortunately the UVD bug is still present, and can be triggered immediately on that card, as it always did. Could be due to ancient vbios, as Romulus_ut3 reported it didn't happen anymore.
As I don't need a decent OC for its use (assuming this bake will even last...), I've just flashed the bios from the pre oc'ed model with same custom pcb so the UVD bug doesn't bother at all (these non boost cards have the highest UVD clock equal to the only 3D clock). Still, when it kicks, having it at 450/1250 is still better than the 60W idle power draw of the HD4890 that was being used.
Since we use an outdated unsupported GPU, we don't deserve anything, not even a fully functional driver, Hurrr Durrr.
Intelligence among the community is dropping rather sharply.
Apparently asking AMD to implement proper power management for it's cards is asking them to throttle performance. What saddens me is that this person is a part of this community, and claims to be a hacker, programmer, a 3D Modeler, A Cad designer and a web developer too, but has no notion of power saving.
Then there are people who suggest that I should flash my BIOS to get rid of the UVD mode which is kind of like cutting your own head off because of a headache.
With that said, disabling ReLive usually gets rid of the UVD bug. I didn't have any issues with Adrenalin 17.11.1 and 17.11.2 as far as the UVD bug is concerned, though whenever I enabled ReLive, I had the issue.

Oh, I never install relive, so it's not related in this particular case, nor a friend's 280X which stills suffers from it and has the latest Asus bios.

From the 18.2.1 thread.
From Reddit about the 100% GPU bug that someone mentioned.
AMD_Kyle RTG Engineer - 5 hours ago:
Hey just to let you know we do know about this issue - and it turns out to be pretty complex to resolve.
As a workaround for now you can kill the AMDDVR process which should return the GPU utilization to the correct levels.
And why I quoted that even if you said DVR was not installed/skipped well that's because with Adrenaline they made a change so even if you use "skip" for AMD DVR and don't install the full package the software will still run dvrcmd.exe and launch two new services. (Also sets this as a scheduled task to run on boot up.)
Renaming the file kills this behavior, removing the scheduled task is only partially effective since running CNext will have it run dvrcmd.exe if it's not renamed and then the scheduled task comes back I think though in either case you get both the DVR services again.
This might interfere with AMD's OSD functionality though, I have not used it and keep it mostly disabled but there might be a reason for why 17.12.1 and on does this and you have two DVR services running even without DVR installed.
EDIT: DVRCMD.exe is found here:
C:\Program Files\AMD\CNext\CNext

Im using Reshade+Sweeet for every game.
BF1 & SW BF2 i like them in DX11.1 (crispy lol)
FH3 & FM7 are in DX12 Mode.
After tweak Wolf also is working like a charm -> so im not in a hurry now.
They will eventualy Fix everything in time
Sadly for me, BF1 is an instant crash with Resade. It sucks.
BF4, and BC2 work with Reshade for me. BF1 is amazing with reshade. Such a shame.
Id kill to have reshade on FH3. It would look good on Apex, but I dont play apex because its BS and has no 21:9 support.
