AMD Video driver issue

There are some known issues that occur with the most recent official release AMD/ATi graphics card drivers. We’re working with AMD to fix the issue via an upcoming official driver update - however to ensure you don’t experience these issues yourself right now please make sure you are using the latest beta driver available here (they are dated 11/30/2015 Version 15.11.1)

https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=windows+7+-+64 <- driver linked is for Windows 7/8/10

Those beta driver's release notes list 7700 series, 8500 series, no 7800 series. I have 7870. Since 7800 series isn't listed I assume those beta drivers are not intended for my GPU?

It lists 7700+ the 7870 is included in that + :)

Don't think that has any conflict with a Driver issue. Pretty sure thats a bug...

This should never have been a issue in the first place. Did you not care to test your game on both vendors? Absolutely disgusting.

Make sure you download the Windows 8/10 versions if you're using that OS

I updated (downgraded) to the Catalyst driver from Crimson. Fixed it, but because I'm not on Crimson anymore, there is a performance loss at the expense of not seeing triangles, and the load time was at least 4 minutes to get into game.

Nope, didn't fix.

Exactly how do you expect a game developer to fix GPU driver issues?

Its their fault its not functioning well with the drivers in the first place, and if they're really autistic enough they could have easily contacted AMD a few weeks in advance to get a hotfix out.

This is stuff that should have been made public before. "Oh, you bought the game and it does not work on your card? Yeah we knew that would happen, never mind"

No, driver issues are entirely the fault of the GPU manufacturer. The GPU manufacturer also decides when and how to release driver updates.

Yes, but as I said, its avalanges fault they're not functioning well with the drivers in the first place because of the way they chose to render textures in the distanse, and they could have fixed it or at least gotten a hotfix out in time for release.

I'd agree with that. SE/Avalanche and/or AMD should have said something before release and mentioned that a fix would be avalible on launch.

Is the graphic card overheating issue also related to that driver problem?

Since I started the game, I set everything to OFF and LOW and my card still shows 64 celsius.
