Has anyone noticed that the VULKAN Runtime doesn't get removed when a newer version gets installed? I've had to manually remove previous versions for quite some time. I'm not sure if any previous versions were ever removed during upgrading the drivers.
 
from what i understand older Vulkan versions are retained for backward compatibility in games that support the API, much like .NET Framework and VB.
Correct me if wrong.

Would appreciate confirmation on this. And, if it is true, how do we restore any previous versions if needed?

I would believe the games that'l run on Vulkan comes bundled with the correct installer? I think the bundled installation with Crimson is just a "precaution".
 
Intriguing development for me:

After bringing my screens up from sleep, I had the AMD Driver UI show up stating that my drivers had not been installed. I've been using them since they were released and I posted about them above.

And, yes, I did the restart after installation as required.

It made me check to see if AMD had released a newer version, but, no, not so far.
