AMD released Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition version 26.9.2 for PC gamers who want to play the latest titles without waiting for a certified driver. This non-WHQL optional update targets users who prioritize immediate access to new game releases over strict stability certification. It matters because it unlocks support for six major new games, including early access for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and the remastered version of The Witcher 3.
Non-WHQL update fixes driver timeouts and adds six new game titles
The driver adds support for Minecraft Dungeons II, Gears of War: E-Day, CONTROL Resonant, and Valor Mortis alongside the previously mentioned titles. AMD states that driver support for new games often includes optimizations and better support for technologies like FSR 4. We do not have specific performance gain numbers for these titles, but the update aims to improve compatibility and feature availability for Radeon graphics card owners.
Technical fixes address intermittent driver timeout errors that affected several systems. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth experienced timeouts on RX 7000 series cards, while War Thunder had issues on RX 6000 series hardware. HITMAN World of Assassination also saw timeout errors on RX 9000 series GPUs. The update resolves a bug where Anti-Lag 2 appeared inactive after disabling Frame Generation in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy.
Users should be aware of several known issues before installing. AMD Smart Access Memory may become disabled on Windows 10 systems after the installation. The AI Bundle components might fail to install in regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced may crash or timeout on RX 7000 series cards, and War Thunder may timeout on RX 5000 series hardware.
