AMD has released brand new Crimson Edition 16.8.2 drivers for all you Radeon owners out there. According to AMD, these drivers offer support for No Man's Sky and the Paragon Open Beta. Here's a list of known issues as well as resolved issues:

Fixed Issues
  • Overwatch™ may experience an intermittent application crash when browsing the hero gallery.
  • With a Freesync supported display and Freesync enabled, some users may experience flickering on desktop during system idle.
  • A small number of Windows 10 Anniversary Edition systems may experience install issues with secure boot enabled.

Known Issues
  • A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay".
  • Grand Theft Auto V™ may experience an application hang on Radeon RX 400 Series Graphics when playing at 4K resolution in story mode.
  • A small number of 144hz non-Freesync enabled displays may exhibit flickering during gaming or on desktop.
  • Ark Survival Evolved™ may experience an error message when trying to launch the game in some configurations.
  • DOTA2™ may experience an application hang when using the Vulkan™ API and changing resolution or game/quality settings.
  • Corruption may be experienced in Rise of the Tomb Raider using the DirectX®12 API on some Hybrid Graphics configurations when performing a task switch.
  • Shader Cache may remain be enabled when set to "off" in Radeon Settings on some Hybrid Graphics configurations.
  • Radeon RX 480 graphics may experience intermittent stuttering in The Division™ when high game settings are used and vsync is enabled.
  • Battlefield™ 4 may experience intermittent crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11.
  • Radeon Pro Duo may experience a black screen in Total War™: Warhammer with the games API set to DirectX®12 and V-Sync enabled.
  • World of Tanks™ may experience stuttering after performing a task switch in AMD CrossFire mode.
  • Rocket League™ may experience flickering when in AMD CrossFire mode.
  • Ashes of the Singularity™ may experience an application crash with "crazy" in game settings and Multi-GPU enabled.
 
I'll give them a whirl. Hopefully these are a tad bit better. The last set introduced a bug where some of my 3d programs would black out if my PC went into sleep mode (didn't do it on the prior version). That would require a close/reopen. The program would then reopen on the wrong monitor and be sized incorrectly, so I'd have to Win+Arrow key to force it back.
 
and as usual, OpenCL performance is still fucked..Thanks AMD..It's only been ~8.5 months since you broke it, and still can't seem to find the time to fix it..
 
At least No Man's Sky is not worth worrying about anyway.

what app are you having trouble with out of curiosity? Only time i use it is with Handbrake, and it seemed to work ok..Is it completely broken or just shitty performance?
