The newest AMD graphics drivers resolve a few media playback issues, an issue with Star Wars Battlefront, and improve performance for Ashes of Singularity Dx12 API usage.
Star Wars: Battlefront now correctly allows AMD mobile GPUs to be utilized (rather than the IGP) when playing the game on portable devices. Ashes of Singularity sees resolution to the “A Driver has stopped responding” failure that has been spotted with Dx12 in use.
Some other errors were resolved, including 4K YouTube viewing and MPEG2 encoding.
