AMD has published a maintenance / bugfix version of its Adrenalin 2020 Edition graphics driver. The Vulkan support has been improved and now support the version 1.1.129 of the Vulkan API.
Fixed Issues
– Game and boost clocks may be incorrectly reported for Radeon RX 5500 XT graphics products in Radeon Software.
– Radeon Software Install may experience an error and fail to detect AMD graphics hardware when a certain WiFi adapter is enabled in the system.
– Rocket League™ may crash or experience an application hang after performing a task switch.
– A black screen may occur when Performance Metrics Overlay is open and changing game resolution.
– After disabling Radeon Software Overlay users may still see the toast messages for the overlay shortcut while in fullscreen games.
– Audio from custom scenes may continue to play after recording or streaming has been stopped.
– Installer audio has been reduced as it was too loud on some system configurations.
– Some users may be unable to select drop downs in graphics settings for Tessellation Mode.
– Radeon ReLive may appear to be missing or not available to install on some system configurations with Hyper-V enabled.
– Newly added game profiles may fail to enable the currently selected global graphics settings options in their profile.
– Performing an auto update from web to Adrenalin 2020 Edition from Adrenalin 2019 Edition may fail with an error code.
– Improved Radeon Chill experience when using a gaming mouse.
– Switching between borderless and fullscreen in some games when Performance Overlay is enabled and Radeon FreeSync is enabled may cause stuttering.
– MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries may experience black corruption near the bottom of the screen close to the player model.
– Radeon Anti-Lag may fail to enable for DirectX 9 applications when enabled in the global graphics settings options.
– Radeon Anti-Lag may fail to enable for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
– The custom stream option may fail to present users with a url box to choose their endpoint.
– DirectML Media Filters may fail to apply Upscale and Denoise when attempting to do both at the same time on one image.
– Some Radeon FreeSync enabled displays may experience LFC intermittently enabling mid game causing poor performance or stutter.
– A grey box may prevent users from setting custom hotkeys in the scene editor.
– Performing Auto Tuning for graphics clocks on Radeon RX 5700 XT may result in an extremely high OC or unstable OC.
– Some games may experience instability and screen loss or control loss when performing a task switch when the Gaming profile is set in Radeon Software which enables Radeon Enhanced Sync.
– Radeon Image Sharpening may fail to enable in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order™.
– HDCP 2.2 enabled content may fail to play on some Radeon RX 500 series graphics products.

Quick driver information
OpenGL support
This driver exposes OpenGL 4.6 and 327 extensions for a Radeon RX Vega 56. The OpenGL support is the same than in Adrenalin 19.12.2.
- GL_VENDOR: ATI Technologies Inc. - GL_RENDERER: Radeon RX Vega - GL_VERSION: 4.6.13586 Compatibility Profile/Debug Context 19.12.3 26.20.15003.5016 - GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION: 4.60 - OpenGL Extensions: 327 extensions (GL=303 and WGL=24)
Vulkan support
This new version of Adrenalin brings the support of Vulkan 1.1.129.
Three new extensions have been added to the device extensions list:
- VK_KHR_shader_float_controls: This extension supports querying and overriding the default behavior of rounding modes, denormals, signed zero and infinity for floating point computations.
- VK_KHR_separate_depth_stencil_layouts: The extension separates the depth and stencil bits allowing their image layouts to be set independently.
- VK_EXT_tooling_info: This extension allows applications to query Vulkan tools that are active on the developer’s system.
The release notes say that VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_feedback and VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore are new but they are already present in Adrenalin 19.12.2.
– VK_KHR_timeline_semaphore (Win7 support): This extension introduces a new semaphore type that uses an integer payload to identify a point in a timeline. The extension supports querying the semaphore, host wait/signal operations, and device wait/signal operations.
– VK_EXT_pipeline_creation_feedback: This extension adds a mechanism to provide feedback to an application about pipeline creation.
