For the Counter-Strike and World of Warcraft problem, AMD suggests that gamers exit the game and then re-launch it, or task switch (ALT + TAB) in and out until AMD resolves the nagging problem. Other issues include Adobe Lightroom crashing on Windows 7 PCs with the Radeon RX 390 Series GPUs, and problems with Borderless Fullscreen mode combined with FreeSync when apps and game launchers are lurking in the background.

On the known Radeon ReLive front, AMD still has five issues to stomp out. For the uninitiated, this is AMD’s built-in solution for capturing and streaming gameplay that is supposedly lightweight so there’s “minimal” impact on gaming performance. The feature made its debut in the first Crimson ReLive-branded driver suite and provides several different overlays along with means for customizing overlay images.

That said, ReLive had a number of issues from the start, but AMD is slowly knocking them out. One persistent issue is a conflict with the Xbox DVR application, which users are suggested to disable if the conflict between the two game-sharing services cause trouble. ReLive is still having troubles with AMD’s APU family of all-in-one processors too: Either the software will not install at all, it causes a system hang, or it fails to record.

Here are the remaining ReLive issues:

• Recording or streaming issues may be experienced when task switching using ALT+TAB
• Recordings may exhibit corruption when capturing Microsoft Office apps
• Performing task switches may cause ReLive to intermittently fail to work. A workaround is to disable and then enable ReLive in the Radeon software control panel.
