Quake II RTX (1.4.1) still crashes!

According to Q2 RTX github it's been fixed in v 1.4.1 - Quake II RTX Change Log - 1.4.1 Try to reset shader cache in Radeon SW This is what nvidia dev wrote in issue log
Cleaning the driver with DDU and installing it again helped with 1.4.0 but not master

One of the changes in this driver is that it actually also deletes the GL and VK shader cache files on install not just the DX cache files or folder. Of course if Quake 2 RTX has it's own VLK cache that wouldn't be affected. Cezanne support in the INF and some window compatibility parameter as well. "%AMD1638.1%" = ati2mtag_Cezanne, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_1638&REV_C4 "%AMD1638.2%" = ati2mtag_Cezanne, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_1638&REV_C5 "%AMD1638.3%" = ati2mtag_Cezanne, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_1638&REV_C6 "%AMD1638.4%" = ati2mtag_Cezanne, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_1638&REV_C7 HKR,,WaForegroundWindowUnresponsive,%REG_DWORD%,0 Vulkan runtime files look to be updated from 1.2.155 to 1.2.162.0 (Runtime 1.2.162.1 has some fixes but they seem SDK or development oriented I don't think it's anything too critical.) And not much profile wise looks to be mostly just a profile that is forcibly disabling of Free Sync for one of the Media Player Classic Cinema programs. FreeSyncForceDisableGaming FreeSyncForceDisableGaming That's the Black Edition I believe more specifically.

It fixes some problems but it doesn't prevent crashes completely.

Some Samsung™ CRG9 series displays may experience a black screen when waking from sleep. YESSSSSSS AMD is currently investigating end user reports that Radeon Software may sometimes have higher than expected CPU utilization, even when a system is at idle. Users who are experiencing this issue are encouraged to file a bug report in Radeon Software. OMG finally! Submitting my report ASAP.

One os freeze immediately after install and another crash after restart while watching yt in Chrome. Freesync still heavily stutters with 10-bit pixel format option enabled so it must be turned off if I want those nice colors.

Fixed Issues
Screen flickering might be observed when using MSI Afterburner.
I couldn't beleive my eyes when I saw it in the release notes and I did a quick test on one of my AMD test rigs with 6800XT, and it indeed seem to be fixed, at least for Navi21. I'm not sure about the previous AMD GPUs, 5700 family was also affected, I hope it is fixed for it as well. The problem explained in this post is finally gone. Well done, AMD. Better late than never.

Installed nicely over 21.1.1 without resorting to a clean install. Nice that I didn't have to redo my settings, as going from 20.12.1 to 21.1.1 wasn't as friendly, and needed a clean install to get Radeon Settings to start up again.

Exporting settings is broken for you? Working fine here...

I have it installed, but I didn’t run it simultaneously, should I remove it completely?

if its not running it shouldn't be causing any problems, the driver it uses only loads at application start and stops when it closes.

Immediately after you wrote this I copied it to our vanguard channel so seems it had been given a high priority to fix ;-)

xD Can you also raise the ongoing Aida64 compatibility issues in the channel? it seems like a joint solution using a shared api would be better than Aida64's developer going alone and blindly at that. https://forums.aida64.com/topic/6581-pc-stopped-when-i-play-games-with-aida64-adrenalin-2020-2012x-issue/ https://forums.aida64.com/topic/6956-pc-freezes-in-games-while-running-aida64-w-rx-5700-xt-adrenalin-2020-2012x-issue/ https://forums.aida64.com/topic/7169-aida64-crash-my-pc-sapphire-rx-5600-xt-adrenalin-2020-2012x-issue/

Thanks mate, will wait for the answer if the issue still persists with 21.2.1 driver and if yes, will forward it to team.
