Old AMD Radeon Card? Use Crimson 17.2.1 or earlier.

[Krom]

Around March 2017 my NMS developed a graphics problem with strange black blurring of the sky in every scene. Several people have reported this on the NMS Community site and also support websites so I thought I would share what worked for me.

1. My HP ENVY tower PC is running Windows 10 with an older AMD Radeon card

2. Uninstalled the current AMD Card driver using Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Note: I did not use the AMD clean utility but it is recommended.

3. Downloaded Crimson 17.2.1 from AMD. Yes, it says for Windows 7 BUT in the notes it was tested for Windows 10

Radeon Software, 471 MB, Crimson ReLive Edition 17.2.1, 2/22/2017

4. I ran the .exe file. It copied a lot of files and then stopped with an error saying it could not detect my AMD card.

5. Rebooted the PC and NMS ran better than it ever has. I am just going to leave my graphics drivers for now :)

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you will visit either in the Steam Workshop (Solitude) or Out There 0AD4:0083:028F:0079. Looking forward to more. Onwards and upwards!
