AMD Releases Radeon Software Crimson ReLive 16.12.2 Beta Drivers

[Raevenlord]

AMD today released the very first driver update after their milestone "Crimson ReLive" driver release. Version 16.2.2 of AMD's drivers are basically focused on bug fixing and end-user updates, as you can see from the fixed issues, and known, still prevalent issues, right after the break. Also interesting is the addition of a whole new category of "Known Issues", specifically focused on issues around the Crimson ReLive application.

As always, you can grab the drivers right here on TechPowerUp. Just follow the links below.



Download: AMD Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 16.12.2 for Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 10 32-bit | Windows 8.1 64-bit | Windows 8.1 32-bit | Windows 7 64-bit | Windows 7 32-bit



Fixed Issues

• AMD FreeSync technology may experience performance issues with Borderless Fullscreen application support when a secondary display is attached and has dynamic content running such as video playback in a web browser or if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background. A workaround if this issue is experienced is to minimize all other running applications that are on the primary desktop display or on non-primary extended displays.
• Radeon ReLive may fail to install during installation on some system configurations.
• Battlefield1 may experience flashing or corruption when running in Multi GPU with Radeon RX 400 series.
• Instant Replay fails to enable itself after it has been turned off due to content protection.
• Radeon Settings may not load on system boot for some system configurations.
• Fixed some errors in translations for Radeon Settings and Radeon ReLive.
• Audio recorded by Radeon ReLive may sometimes exhibit slow motion when played back.
• Radeon ReLive may experience recording issues or issues toggling the Overlay/Toolbar when Frame Rate Target Control is enabled. Users are suggested to disable Frame Rate Target Control when using Radeon ReLive.
• Mouse cursor may stutter in recorded video when there is limited on screen activity outside of minor mouse movement.
• In AMD Multi GPU configurations the secondary graphics product will exit the low power state when Radeon ReLive is enabled.
• Radeon ReLive may sometimes not be able to take screenshots of secondary displays.
• Chromium may fail to utilize hybrid decode for VP9 content.
• DOTA2 may experience game corruption when performing a task switch while recording with Radeon ReLive in AMD Multi GPU configurations.

Known Issues

• A small amount of apps may still experience issues with Borderless Fullscreen mode and AMD FreeSync technology if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background.
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft may experience flickering or performance issues the first time the game is launched on a system boot with AMD FreeSync technology enabled. Workarounds include exiting and restarting the application or task switching (alt+tab) in and out of the game to fix the issue.
• AMD Multi GPU configurations may experience a system hang or reboot during install when using tiled MST 4K or 5K displays.
• Titanfall2 may experience black square corruption in game menus or during game play on some Graphics Core Next products.
• FIFA 17 may experience an application hang or black screen on launch for some select Hybrid Graphics or AMD PowerXpress mobile configurations.
• Radeon Settings may not show display details for connected displays in AMD X-Connect technology mode.
• Mouse cursor corruption may be intermittently experienced on Radeon RX 480.

Known Issues for Radeon ReLive

• The XBOX DVR application may cause conflicts with Radeon ReLive, users are suggested to disable XBOX DVR if Radeon ReLive is experiencing issues.
• Radeon ReLive may fail to install on AMD APU Family products or experience a system hang or failure to record when using the recording feature on AMD APU Family products.
• Battlefield1 may experience UI flickering and/or performance drops when recording gameplay with Radeon ReLive on graphics products with 4GB or less of VRAM.
• Radeon ReLive recordings may experience flicker when creating a single recording for many hours.
• Radeon ReLive may experience minor graphical corruption for the first few recorded frames when launching UWP applications.
• Radeon ReLive will not allow recording settings to change with Instant Replay enabled. A workaround is to disable Instant Replay and change settings then enable Instant Replay.
• Radeon ReLive Overlay/Toolbar will not launch or Record when running League of Legends in Administrator Mode and Windowed Borderless Fullscreen. A work around would be to not use administrator launch privileges or to use Fullscreen mode.
• Vulkan applications may experience a game hang when using Radeon ReLive to record.
• Radeon ReLive will not notify an end user of low disk space during recording.

Damn this is fast. I wonder whether they are going to call the entire 2017 Crimson drivers by ReLive. Maybe next year's big driver will be called ReBorn?

It should be noted that AMD has removed the colour settings with the ReLive update.

I.e. saturation, brightness, gamma etc are all gone.

I'm betting on DNA(the other modded driver), since they already used Omega.

Unfortunately custom BIOS are still blocked (there's already a patch available). Hopefully they'll lift that requirement one again next release

umm lets see,
2017 = ReLive, 2018 = ReBorn, 2019 = ReMastered, 2020 = ReMake, 2021 = RePeat

You dont even need to.

These beta's are a quick fix release for one of the many problems either CF or a single RX480 with live recording has.

Well they fixed (AMD External Events Utility) atiesrxx.exe in W7 with 16.12.1 that has been broken since 16.5.1/16.6.1 causing a Delayed Please Wait Message during boot.

Would be nice if they fixed the network latency issue's caused by Re-live being installed.

For some reason these drivers are causing packet lose on wireless networks. Took me 3 days to identify the issue being the AMD software.

Relive page, report it, same with AMD forums, make sure your wifi adapter in your rig- driver is latest, along with the router firmware is latest too.

Seems like something is running in the background that shouldn't be (maybe AMD is secretly collecting info on your habits)...

or perhaps a resource-utilization error or memory leak somewhere....

disable notificatons in relive settings, also check task scheduler or and driver update services. I don't let anything do automatic updates in my rig- whether aav or mwb, or wud.

Looks like this is affecting a ton of users. If I ended the task radeon.exe in task manager the connection immediately corrected itself. I submitted a ticket the second I identified the cause. Surprised it wasn't in the known issues.

Submitting a ticket and reporting in the forums you have the same issue does help, you may have to submit a ticket several times, aka every new driver launched till it is fixed.
