AMD didn't release a driver this month.....unfortunate!!!

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.

Na 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.

amd updated the date 3 times in the last 30 days, amd trying to fool who?

radeon software 22.5.2 has weird bugs....in 3 revisions they didn't fix anything!!!!
amd going from bad to worse.

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

[Vulkan] Path of Exile displays flashing black textures.

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

Videos played back in Microsoft Edge may appear green if NVIDIA Image Scaling is enabled upon resuming from hibernate or booting with fastboot.

A friendly reminder who the team green is.

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.

HAHAHAHA

Good one.

 

[RAA!]

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.
