5700 XT compatibility issues with old games like need for speed hot pursuit 2 (2002)

[dsx2020u]

When i launch need for speed hot pursuit 2 (2002) the game crashes and gives me this error below. I can play NFS HP 2002 with a RX 580, it has screen tearing, forcing vsync in driver menu doesn't work, and enhanced sync has stuttering, but at least the game is playable.

Has anyone with a 5700 XT tried playing NFS HP 2002 or any other older games to test compatibility?

Did you change anything else or just the card?

Just the card. I swap in the rx 580 and the game runs, i swap back the 5700 xt and the game crashes when i launch it.

Also when i play resident evil 6 and resident evil revelations 2 i can't edit the brightness in-game, when i move the sliders the brightness stays the same, it should get darker or brighter. This problem only happens when i use the 5700 xt, the rx 580 doesn't have this brightness bug.

There's really only 2 things to suggest:

1) With the 5700XT, reboot into Windows Safe Mode and run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) and then let THAT reboot you back into normal mode. Then reinstall the current Windows driver set (20.8.2 as of now) and see if the problem persists

2) If the problem persists, submit a bug report to AMD. They are very much monitoring bug reports for the 5000 series cards right now due to the earlier media blow up regarding buggy drivers.

Something else that might help (but probably won't) - bite the bullet and upgrade to Windows 10. Shouldn't cost you a dime, just some time.
