AMDhas chosen November to release their fifth hotfix, that revamps their graphics driver suite. The primary feature of theRadeongraphics card is to add game-specific support for Ubisoft’sWatch Dogs 2.The updatehas hit the PC on 29th November that is Tuesday, but was released on Monday.

Listed as Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.11.5, the latest update addressesseveral issuesin a couple of games. It also adds a DirectX 11-related AMD Crossfire profile for Bethesda’sDishonored 2,as suggested bypatch notes. Apart from these overhauls, the update also fixes flickering issues with CrossFire setups inThe DivisionandBattlefield 1.

So, gamers who are all set to enter Ubisoft’s latest open-world title, should grab these drivers right away.

Though they have to watch out orseveral hardware requirements, if they want to score a copy ofWatch Dogs 2.

Minimum System Requirements:

Coming over to the still ‘unresolved issues’,Dishonored 2won’t work in Crossfire mode on Windows 7. So, bad news for multi-GPU gamers clinging to the pre-Modern experience. Then there is the persisting problem with launching some games when the third-party Raptr’s game overlay is enabled. The several other miscellanea; issues with the older versions, that includes occasional crashes inDoomandDota 2when using those games’ Vulkan back-ends, streaming video using the H.264 format may cause graphical corruption on Polaris cards.

It isn’t all that bad though, as no driver update has ever been ‘perfect’, and to flatten it out, AMD has themselves listed all possible game-related problems in the patch notes.
