16.1 Hotfix out

Dyre Straits said:
Anyone with multi-monitors know if the settings are fixed? With the original Crimson, the only way to get a multiple displays active was to use the Windows Display Settings (at least for me it was) and then trying to find Eyefinity or other mutli-monitor settings in Crimson was MIA.

I'm still using Catalyst drivers for now.

I never had trouble creating an Eyefinity setup with Crimson, but I can tell you that most video options that were present in CCC are still missing from Crimson and are somewhat available in Additional Settings (old CCC :bleh:).

I don't see anything changed in this respect with 16.1, so you are probably better off using old CCC.

To get Windows taskbar on the right monitor I still have to run Additional Settings every time at boot, which in return resets my monitor calibration, so it's always a painstaking: boot system, open CCC, wait for taskbar to switch to the right, close CCC, open Windows monitor calibration, go to advanced settings, reset current calibration, close, close. A pain the the goddamn butt, right?

On a side note, I can tell my cards are behaving differently in Crossfire as I don't hear fans spinning as much as before, so 16.1 must have done something at least in that regard.
 
So what's the deal with the "Check Updates" option in Crimson ?
Currently have 15.30 installed and when click Check Update says no updates found, even when we know the 16.1s are out. Does it ONLY search for those drivers of same type (WHQL vs Beta ?).

Thanks!

And, yes, I'll be skipping Crimson for the foreseeable future, it looks like. (Is that a pun? Or what is it? :) )
 
Just tried Crimson 16.1 Hotfix last night and it seemed okay for the games...but the one thing is I don't like how the GPU clock kept bouncing and it ranged from 600Mhz to 900Mhz....There was a little stuttering in Serious Sam 3: BFE. So I came back to 15.11 beta and now I got my clock back to 1020Mhz-1050Mhz and there is no stuttering at all except a little low FPS when in heavily combat. I had to reported it to driver feedback.
 
It fixes way more than just what's in those release notes.
It also fixed the very rare glitches I had in Witcher III with my 290x, notably near water. Now the game is just smooth at max settings and perfect, without those small, very rare but yet noticeable artifacts. Performance isn't changed, still excellent.
 
nm, no wonder I wasn't hearing spinning fans; these drivers totally disable Crossfire in Eve Online. Game was running at half refresh rate as well :bleh:

back to 15.12 and all is normal again. I hate reverting :mad:
 
Meh was getting hard locks with the latest everything in games after 15 to 30 min gaming sessions, no error msgs other than akamai cant install 10-15 times a day at reboot... and had to revert to a previous build and probs are gone. Currently on 15.11's and everything fine so far...

Avoiding anymore updates for a while but anyone else see this? Hadnt had probs like this in a long time. Crashes to desktop sometimes at worst but not hard locks.
