Available for download, the Radeon Software Adrenalin 18.6.1 offers a focus on the title Warhammer: Vermintide 2. AMD announces a performance increase up to 9% with a Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB in 1440p (2560 x 1440 pixels). The Radeon RX 580 8GB also benefits from optimization up to 10% still under a 1440p definition.

In parallel, these drivers implement several bug fixes. They attack a black screen with Subnautica (really nice game 🙂) and crashes with Sea of Thieves. Other titles benefit from maintenance. World of Warcraft should not encounter any more problems with its mini-card on a Multi-GPU configuration. Middle Earth: Shadow is also fixed regarding some problems affecting its menus.

These drivers have some known and uncorrected problems. You will find all the details below.
