• Project CARS 3 may experience performance issues when the Radeon Software performance metrics overlay is enabled.
• Error 1603 may occur during Radeon Software installation on some AMD Ryzen 5 Mobile Processors with Radeon Graphics system configurations.
• Error 195 may occur during Radeon Software installation on some AMD Ryzen 3 Mobile Processors with Radeon Vega Graphics.

Known Issues

• Project CARS 3 may experience mirror like corruption when using VR during game menus on GCN based Radeon graphics products.

HUH ?, i been using it ever since they added it and never had a single issue with it. I take it this started to be a issue after the 290 series ?.

It's only with the RX5000 cards.

• A black screen, system crash or TDR may occur while gaming when performing task switches, enabling performance metrics overlay, or having video content/web browsers open on secondary displays on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products system configurations.
• Brightness flickering may be experienced on some VP9 video content playback through applications or web browsers on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics product system configurations.

I can confirm that these two have been rectified. I may not need to switch back to the Pro Software if this is consistent.

• Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.

This still happens if I enable Enhanced Sync though. Affected games are PUBG, VALORANT and some older DX11 titles that I tried.

over the past few months until this version, the last known issue was that they will continue to monitor forums for crashes

does this mean "A black screen, system crash or TDR may occur while gaming when performing task switches, enabling performance metrics overlay, or having video content/web browsers open on secondary displays on Radeon RX 5000 series graphics products system configurations." is the final major stability fix?

I started getting random black screens with this driver. The PC just shots off with no warning and boots again. I returned to 20.4.2

UPDATE: it happened with 20.4.2 as well... I've undervolted the GPU and updated my MB BIOS, I'm waiting to see if this helps.

Navi. I think it's a controller bug or something at this point.
