AMD drivers broke Ubisoft games

[jVoglae]

Ever since I downloaded 17.11.1 all of my Ubisoft games using uplay will all crash on startup but in different ways.
I uninstalled the driver and had no drivers and it worked
But someone I know has 17.11.1 the same drivers and his games work?
help

And I have tried all of the recent drivers after 17.11.1
I finally found a driver that will work but it is really old it is the first crimson relive driver

Yeah, 17.12.1 is a huge update. What the heck are waiting for, 2018?

Be careful using that DDU wipe in safe mode, if you use it. There's precautions as prerequisits for
a reason. I used AMD Clean up utility in safe mode then AMD GPU Drivers install to uninstall in normal mode - That's what was offered via the prompts. That's just the way it worked out.

DDU is fine. I have used it a lot for 1-2 years now and never had any issues with it.

These cleanup utilities from the manufacturer are usually outdated crap which is getting very little support (via ao updates). DDU is superior to those cleanup tools. The cleaners from the manufacturer half of the time don't work right and don't fix your issue, those things are simply rushed pieces of software and the manufacturer doesn't care if it works good or not they only made it because makes them look like they care about their customers.

DDU Wipe all GPU Drivers via Safe Mode, then download and install very latest AMD Driver from AMD.com

The most common reason Drivers break is because folks are allowing Windows Updates to handle those, disable this, especially when it is a Gaming PC.

Adrenalin is fairly buggy atm, so I'd be careful when updating.

All Drivers have bugs, it's just a matter of what works best for you.
If you download/install very latest AMD Drivers and it turns out to still be an issue, redo the DDU wiping and then use a slightly older Driver. Trusted places like GURU3D.com archieve them > http://www.guru3d.com/files-categories/videocards-ati-catalyst-vista-win-7.html
