This is actually a good news. It probably confirms that AMD's drivers have reached a very stable version and those constant continuous Beta releases (.1, .2, .3) are not needed.

ARFNa verdade, são boas notícias. Provavelmente confirma que os drivers da AMD atingiram uma versão muito estável e essas constantes versões Beta contínuas (.1, .2, .3) não são necessárias.

Assuming a lack of updates from AMD means stability seems silly given their history.

I think this is the facing west bug that everyone thought was POE programming issue. rebooting the game semi-fixed it.

That is a massive load of bull. I ran a Vega 64 for 3-4 years without a single driver stability issue. AMD drivers are very good! Their graphics control panels are where the bugs come in.

Second Life? Not something I expected to be mentioned in a driver update haha! I'm surprised people still play it with things like Neos and VRChat around.
