VR Games Crashing After AMD 25.3.1 GPU Driver Update (Radeon RX 7900 XT)

[devoidzero]

Has anyone else experienced VR game crashes after updating their AMD GPU to the 25.3.1 drivers? I am using a PSVR2 headset with the PC adapter, and my GPU is an RX 7900 XT. My CPU is Ryzen 9 7900X. I had never had any VR game crash before this, but after updating the drivers, every VR game I tried would crash without fail, usually within 2 or 3 minutes of playing time (sometimes causing a system reboot).

I downgraded my GPU drivers to 24.12.1, and this has solved my problem (no more crashes). Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and also to let you know that rolling back to the previous version should solve it.

This should be raised with AMD support as the issue is replicated in multiple VR applications.

If there is an error message in the PlayStation VR2 app or the VR driver, it may be useful to share the error message displayed in SteamVR or Windows in this thread. You may be able to see Windows crashes by viewing Windows Event Viewer and expanding the Application section and System section after the application crashed, following a restart of the computer.

You could try upgrading to the newest software but use display driver uninstaller first and then install the new driver software, selecting the custom installation with all items ticked for installation.

I haven't had any issues with AMD's optional drivers. As of yesterday AMD released the 25.3.2 optional drivers. I haven't had time to test any vr games yet.I will get back later

I have the older 5800X3D and 7900xtx combo. I'm running the PSVR through Sony's pc adapter. My video card lacks a direct usb output. I second a clean install attempt after using a display uninstaller. I simply use the AMD cleanup utility.

If that fails do as tauheedul suggest and raise a ticket with AMD.

So far no issues with Half-Life Alex, Amid Evil VR DX 12 mode, even Tabletop Simulator is working fine in VR mode since the release of the latest Sony app update.
