AMD’s latest driver fixes texture flickering in ‘Mass Effect: Andromeda,’

amd driver mass effect texture flickereing radeon rx
Less than a week after releasing Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.3.2, AMD issued version 17.3.3 on Tuesday, packing specific changes for Mass Effect: Andromeda. The driver includes a new multi-GPU profile for running the game using DirectX 11 and a fix that clears up texture flickering seen when running Mass Effect: Andromeda on a multi-GPU system.
Unfortunately, that is the only fix AMD customers get with the new driver for Radeon-branded graphics chips. The company issued an optimized driver for Mass Effect: Andromeda with the launch of v17.3.2 last week, getting PC gamers ready for the highly anticipated action RPG game hitting store shelves on Tuesday. So far, the overall critic reviews are mixed at best.
The release notes for Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.3.3 show that AMD still has a number of outstanding issues regarding specific games. These include Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Sniper Elite 4, Shadow Warrior 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and World of Warcraft. Here they are (again):
Ghost Recon: Wildlands:The game may fail to launch on systems with three or four Radeon GPUs installed.
Ghost Recon: Wildlands:Players using multiple Radeon GPUs in one system may see flickering when changing the graphics settings or performing a task switch.
Sniper Elite 4:The game may not function with AMD FreeSync enabled.
Sniper Elite 4:Players may see image cropping with supersampling enabled.
Shadow Warrior 2:A missing application profile in Radeon Settings may prevent the game from using multiple Radeon GPUs at launch.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
and World of Warcraft:
Flickering or performance issues may be experienced in these games the first time they are launched with AMD FreeSync enabled.
Outside the game-specific problems listed above, AMD still has three outstanding general issues that need to be addressed. Two are tied into Radeon Settings, with one issue preventing the feature from retaining application settings when users log off the PC or reboot the device. The other Radeon Settings problem actually crashes the app after users toggle the AMD CrossFire mode and switch to another Windows account
On the Radeon ReLive front, there are nine outstanding issues that persist, such as the incompatibility with Xbox DVR and the inability to install Radeon ReLive on devices based on AMD’s family of APUs. There is even a problem tied into Microsoft Office that corrupts the video when capturing footage containing the use of those applications.
To grab AMD’s new driver, choose your operating system below:
Windows 10:64-bit32-bit
Windows 8.1:64-bitN/A
Windows 7:64-bit32-bit

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
