AMD RADEON users - issues with newer drivers

[bufo]

Be aware that if you use an AMD Radeon card, the last working driver is the 21.8.2.

Anything newer will cause crashes (on large scenarios), and major performance issues.

Has anybody tried it with 21.11.3 that came out today?

Still crashing out of video memory (8 gig) for me with the latest drivers if i try to use anything but low settings.

Problem exists in CMBS straight out CTD with it being unhappy with the opengl driver. It doesn't seem to effect older CM games like SF2 and Normandy. So they've done something wrong 21.8.2 is the August driver. Really wish they'd just use direct x Or vulkan

im gonna keep this thread for future reference so i know that which amd drivers have good opengl drivers. thank you

[Zyhgar The Phoenix]

Try 22.7.1 though I will warn that it is an unstable driver so use at your own risk I'm able to play the older CM games like normandy with no issues but black sea has issues.

22.7.1 rx 5700xt unplayable. No UI and light on battle map.

[Thief2125]

In 22.8.1 on Vega 56 too

Im having the same issues on my AMD machine with every CM game from BN to Cold War.

Seems to be something on CMs end I've contacted amd support they said it's nothing they can do since it seems localised to only combat mission.
Battlefront support doesn't seem to help at all...

uninstall your current amd gpu drivers and try revision 21.3.1. that one has good opengl support for things like combat mission; i've verified it works because i get terrible artifacting when using newer drivers in games that rely on older versions of opengl, such as doom source ports or, as mentioned, combat mission

[Zyhgar The Phoenix]

That doesn't work for me the game just crashes I've done rollbacks it doesn't help and i play modern games that work better on current drivers. 22.7.1 was AMD finally giving us opengl support after a long time which has solved countless issues.
If combat mission a game that costs 100+$ cannot update it's self to current opengl especially when releasing new games? I shouldn't have to rely on old drivers to play my games or buy an 3x more expensive gpu.

If its amd you are running then there are literally dozens of games currently with discussions on their steam pages about the game not working anymore. Its an AMD thing.
CM are working on a free performance update (engine 5) but no idea when it will come. Cannot come soon enough for me as cant play cold war due to terrible stuttering even with a beefy rig. Pretty appalling

[Zyhgar The Phoenix]

It's an AMD issue that isn't AMD fault out of the 30+ opengl games i have it's only this game that I'm having issues... Let a lone the update has actually fixed 10 of those games being unplayable and granted an near 96% performance boost.

[Erebos]

has the problems too since a few weeks :-(

[Eisenkraut]

Do we know if the Devs have acknowledged the existence of the bug -- or are at least aware of it?
I haven't found any threads on their forum. I also can't play CMSF2 or CMBS.
