AMD driver issue with the game

[Dexter Morgan]

Any driver that isn't 24.12.1 causes low fps issues when you boot the game, including stuttering. Using 24.12.1 massively boosts fps on AMD cards and makes the experience the exact same as on Nvidia cards, (as long as you don't do high preset or above) but fps still drops to 30 after a random boot of the game. The only fix I found is to reinstall your GPU driver on each launch of the game. Has anyone experienced this bug?

Since reinstalling the driver fixes this issue, I think it's safe to assume that it is a shader cache problem. If this assumption is to be correct, then deleting the shader file from your AMD folder will result in getting high fps again on each boot of the game

Not experiencing this problem at all. Same driver, 7900XTX. Playing on Supreme and runs fine. Have relaunched 2-3x and not getting anyrhing similar to your issue.

AMD is like Linux: it's awesome in theory but requires a huge deal of tweaking, has missing features, and an army of people swearing by it no matter how objectively more cumbersome than it's actually good counterpart

Are you displaying your fps? I lose on average 14 fps when I don’t delete the shader files of the game before launching it. You might not notice it, but 14 fps is a lot when you’re barely hitting 60. I’ve seen this thing occuring on youtube as well. People with RX 6600 dropping to 20 fps when booting the game after shaders have already been compiled.

Yea I was running the performance overlay just for curiosity since I was seeing so many people having mixed experiences. But no, have no experienced any big drops like that at all.

seems to run fine for me with 24.12.1...

That's just not true.

Is there another way to fix the fps. So I don't have to delete this folder every time?
