Bufo Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) I wanted to tell this earlier, but been expecting AMD to fix it, which it didn't. With AMD Radeon cards if you have any driver installed above 21.8.2. (that was the last working version), the game will crash on larger scenarios and experiences huge performance issues on the smaller ones. The error message says out of memory. I just realized that with the release of Cold War on steam some people may have problems with the game because of this.

Redwolf Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Somebody should probably post that on Steam (forums or a review). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Keogh Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Thanks for the heads-up. I have an AMD graphics card with the most recent full-release driver. As you stated, trying to load one of CMRT's huge scenarios caused the game to CTD. (I had loaded that same scenario without issue with an older driver.) I rolled back to the 21.8.2 and that scenario again loaded without problem. So, it's definitely the new driver that caused the CTD. I hope this isn't a permanent issue with AMD cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artkin Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 That's pretty ****ty. AMD discontinuing support for openGL I guess? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so, I think it is more likely a bug that hasn't been noticed so far because it only affects some very rarely played games (like this, the CM series). (yes, CM games are very rarely played if you look at the whole PC gaming business) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burning_phoneix Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Just a heads up. I have the Steam version of CW (So 1.02?) and the game doesn't crash for me despite having the latest drivers (21.10.2) from AMD. Tried both small and Huge Missions and they all loaded up normally 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, yeah that scenario doesn't load. I get to 43% and get a crash "Out of Memory". I tried the huge scenario above it "Rupenheim Rumpus (sp?)" and it worked fine. Will try other scenarios in other games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to experiment, you have the same issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burning_phoneix Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I won't unless it effects other scenarios. I don't play huge maps and rolling back drivers is a hassle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't play huge maps and rolling back drivers is a hassle. The performance is lower (fps) across all titles and scenarios regardless of the size. Downgrading takes literally 1 minute (at least on my PC). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Joch Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I am still on 21.8.2, no reason to use any newer driver for CM. Newer drivers are mostly of help to the latest cards and latest games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burning_phoneix Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Just upgraded to Raddy drivers 21.11.3 Now the scenario reaches 49% instead of 43% before crashing. Progress folks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
