AMD releases a new Radeon Adrenalin 2020 Edition update

AMD has announced a new update for the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition. Known as version 20.2.2, its changelog claims to address numerous problems that users may have encountered while running its predecessor. Nevertheless, it is also associated with some new bugs of its own, which include the possibility of "intermittent" system hanging or app crashes while playing DOOM, or while running Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers' benchmark.

However, Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20.2.2 may fix bugs in which black screens or crashes were experienced while running a variety of apps or games, some of which occurred in response to doing normal innocuous things such as toggling HDR on or off. They include Grand Theft Auto V; The Witcher 3; Fortnite; Google Chrome; Metro Exodus and Battlefield V. 

These issues, along with others on this log, may have been associated with the use of RX 5000- or RX 5700-series cards. In addition, the new driver download may also fix issues with some Radeon Software features such as WattMan, Instant Replay, Performance Metrics Overlay and the Radeon Chill hotkey. The full log of potential solutions conferred by 20.2.2 can be found on its new page on AMD's website.
