AMD has released a new Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition driver, 20.4.1, which adds support for Capcom’s Resident Evil 3 remake. It also fixes a few issues specific to DOOM Eternal, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch.

Fixed Issues

  • Overwatchâ„¢ and Heroes of the Stormâ„¢ may experience a black screen or application hang while gaming for extended periods of time on some Radeon RX Vega series graphics product system configurations.
  • HDR may fail to enable or be detected in applications and games using the Vulkan® API.
  • Doom Eternalâ„¢ may fail to launch in some hybrid graphics system configurations.
  • Radeon ReLive streaming may fail to launch or may crash when a stream session is started with performance metrics overlay enabled.
  • Some clock values may fail to populate for a limited number of graphics products in the Radeon Settings Hardware information tab.
  • Hotkeys can no longer be assigned to a single digit or character as this has the ability to block or cause interference with some default Windows® functionality.
  • Some Radeon FreeSync Premium supported displays may not list all supported refresh rate options in Windows® when Radeon FreeSync Premium is enabled in the displays OSD settings.

Known Issues

  • Enhanced Sync may cause a black screen to occur when enabled on some games and system configurations. Any users who may be experiencing issues with Enhanced Sync enabled should disable it as a temporary workaround.

  • Modifying the HDMI Scaling slider may cause FPS to become locked to 30.

  • Desktop or In-game corruption may occur intermittently when HDR is enabled.

  • A system crash or hang may be experienced when using Edge browser to play Netflixâ„¢ content.
  • Some users may still experience black screen or system hang issues during extended periods of gameplay. AMD will continue to monitor and investigate reports of these issues closely.
