Bufo Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 With the latest 22.8 series of drivers for an AMD GPU, the game won't work. With the current recommended driver (22.5.1) everything is fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbobovyc Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I can confirm this. After upgrading to 22.8.2, game UI and rendering are broken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Keogh Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Also confirming that the 22.8 AMD driver breaks the game. It's worse than last year's AMD driver issues. With last year's issues, one could still load and play scenarios with small to mid-sized maps. This one screws-up the entire game making it completely unplayable. It is getting worrisome that updating AMD drivers now feels like playing Russian roulette when it comes to the CMx2 games. Fortunately, I was able to roll-back to 22.5.1 to get the game working again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxster Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Can confirm that all CM games are unable to run under AMD 22.9.1 drivers. Logo at load up flickers intensely. Menus are all visable. Loading into the game textures are as black but am able to see units as pic... Looking forward to playing the game at some point... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can roll back to 22.51 and then roll forward when I want to play a more modern game... Hopefully AMD will sort this out! I am very fortunate to have been able to play the CM titles years after purchasing. However, it is almost time to call it EOL on my part if I have to go to extreme measures to get the game running. It would be great to see the game engine updated but with a small team coding I can only hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Guys if you have the time please consider sending a report to AMD with this issue. The more they receive, the more likely of a fix in the future. Here is how you can do it (pretty straightforward):Â https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/amdbrt Edited September 27, 2022 by Bufo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 AMD coded some 'OpenGL optimizations' with the 22.7.1 drivers and this is likely the cause of the current CM problem. I'm able to play CM with the 22.6.1 WHQL drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufo Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Seems like 22.10.2. works again. Edit: not only works, but works even better. Edited October 24, 2022 by Bufo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some graphics oddness but nothing game breaking. Yes it even feels faster/better!  All that I need is for the £ to improve against the $ before I drop a load onto the CM:FI bundle! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphical oddities are exhaust smoke from vehicles and MGs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmoney Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 It does seem faster. I have noticed when explosions occur the screen losses graphics and shows the design of objects with no graphics for several seconds. I removed my mod folder to make sure that wasn’t the issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for me when there's a flash from an explosion the screen goes white and a wire frame of the terrain/object(?). This wire frame is also visable when displaying a "floating" menu, such as the hot key or quit menu. Will see if I can capture this tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lerxster Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) CM:SF2 doesnt seem to work the same as CM:BS... Flashing is there but inconsistant dependant on explosion type... Some flashing on the whole of the screen and some having no flashing at all!  Also have a weird flashing smoke/dust textures and clumpy smoke stacks from burning vehicles... maddening!  CM:BN is a mess with the same settings... So I am at a loss...  Edited October 26, 2022 by lerxster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggathebauce Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi, am currently experiencing screen going white with explosions, and it's Jan 11 2023. Any fix on this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisol Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Similar with Cold War... screen flashes white with explosions. Makes it both difficult to see what's happening and headache inducing.  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggathebauce Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 What's rough is after long break from CM i was looking forward to getting back into it, now I will have to wait... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ithikial_AU Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I had something similar late last year on the Nvidia side. What solved it for me was going into the Control Panel and telling it to play the CM Games at a "Fixed Refresh Rate". So effectively turning off G-Sync/FreeSync etc. If you also have a modern monitor then this may be the culprit. Unsure how/where you would do this with an AMD GPU though for specific programs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiggathebauce Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Tried settings similar to lerxster and no success on cold war. Is there supposed to be a button in AMD's software to submit a report to them? I couldn't find it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 This is the process to use the: AMD Bug Report Tool Depending on what videocard you have and what other games you may run, the 22.6.1 and 22.5.2 drivers both seem to work fine with all of the CM games to my knowledge. Previous Windows 10 64-bit AMD Radeon drivers (ignore that it says it is for the RX 6500XT, they will work with any Radeon RX 4xx and newer) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
