  • Restore factory defaults may occasionally not work for the "Display" tab in Radeon Settings.
  • The power efficiency toggle in Radeon Settings may be available to some unsupported system configurations.

Known Issues

Whether DOOM is a good game or not, at least the developers are doing their job properly by working with both IHVs :

Some interesting/odd known issues:

Installing Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2 multiple times on the same machine after rebooting may cause the installer to hang.

Radeon Settings Additional Settings page may not be available when upgrading to Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2 from the current windows update driver. As a work around please clean uninstall all current Radeon Software when upgrading if your system exhibits this issue.
 
I know 16.5.1 corrupted my .net framework on Windows 10, which was a royal pain to fix. Which I believe is tied to the advanced settings.

I would warn people to be careful and have a restore point done before updating.
 
I have an older 6470m (I think off top of my head) and the last crimson drivers worked great that driver apps did not detect as needing an upgrade, I no longer lag on low settings in HOTS. Excited for these drivers. If you have an older AMD mobile chipset try them out!

lots of new stuff in this driver! Finally added the Vulcan to the software tab as well. Been a while since they updated this many changes:) wonder what made them update Mantle? Doesn't hurt i guess. Also my right click AMD menu is back...it was missing for the last 2 drivers

I've had more issues with graphics drivers in Windows 10 then I think I ever had. AMD drivers aren't alone here either, I've dealt with some weird or botched installs/uninstalls of both Nvidia and Intel drivers too. YMMV.

This was actually my first issue with AMD drivers and Windows 10, but it was annoying as hell. Otherwise it's been smooth sailing, I'm a lot more cautious now.

I too can say the same as the other reply you had. Both on Nvidia and AMD drivers, among others, I have a shit ton of issues with Win10. In act the longest standing issue is that Windows 10 decides that a particular audio device just....doesn't need to function anymore, requiring a reboot to recover audio from that device. Certainly not limited to AMD, on this one.
 
Ugh, between the .net framework issues and the last batch of Windows 10 patches which are causing slowdowns and whatnot it's all messed up. I'm just going to redo a clean install.

At least I just use Windows for games now and moved all my work files over to OSX else I would be a lot more pissed. Can't wait for Vulkan/Linux to be viable for games.

Can't happen fast enough for me either ;)
 
HOTS is a bit choppy at times compares to the last version of the drivers. They also don't aappear as 16.5.2 but as 15.x something else. Anyone actually see 16.5.2 displayed anywhere in the panel?

I believe it's a recognized issue by Microsoft, but it doesn't affect everyone which apparently is causing Microsoft headaches to troubleshoot for a fix.

Just be glad it's not affecting you.

I just started getting this shit. Pretty rare but it happens.

Easiest way seems to be going to the device manager. Disable then enable the audio device and it'll work again.
