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.
