AMD rolls out driver optimisations for Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon

AMD has released its Adrenalin Edition 26.2.2 driver, adding support for Resident Evil Requiem and Marathon while addressing several stability issues.

The update resolves intermittent crashes or driver timeouts in Roblox Player (Car Zone Racing & Drifting) when switching between media, and fixes texture flickering seen in some Windows desktop applications when Instant Replay and Record Desktop were enabled.

A number of issues remain under investigation. Cyberpunk 2077 may still crash when loading a save with Path Tracing enabled, and Battlefield 6 can show similar behaviour on systems using the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Texture flickering may also appear in Battlefield 6 when using AMD Record and Stream, while FSR Upscaling and Frame Generation may show as inactive in several titles on Radeon RX 9000‑series GPUs.

AMD recommends using the AMD Cleanup Utility when rolling back to an earlier driver. The 26.2.2 package is available now, with auto‑detect installation offered for all supported products.

Naturally, if you are picking up Resident Evil Requiem or Marathon this weekend, then upgrading to this driver is recommended.

KitGuru Says: Nvidia had to pull back its Game Ready driver for these titles, so AMD GPU users may get the best experience this weekend.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
