AMD Driver issues

This game requires a roll back to AMD to 20.9.1 or earlier now with that most recent hot fix patch it crashes every 5 minute. I did a clean install still no playing the game. Switched to Vulcan over direct x 12 cleared the cache and still nothing working. Updated to the newest AMD drivers and it is worse. I played all weekend no issues now the game is unplayable.

Please if anyone has a fix let me know, and GGG please fix your game!!!!!


before peeps comment on bad pc.
7800x3d 64gb ddr5 ram and a 7900xtx. I have no other issues with any other game.

Same issue, crash every other map/zone when loading in or right after.

9700X cpu, 9070XT gpu, 32GB DDR5. Tried both vulkan and dx12, deleted shader folders, reinstalled and tried both drivers 20.9.1 and latest doing full DDU cleanup.

I notice it crash when green shader bar is maxed out for too long. Please fix.
20.9.1 is still stable and works flawlessy. Currently using same driver which is known to be the most stable currently regardless of which game you launch. What kind of crashes are you experiencing? We don't even know besides crashes since you didn't even log GFX behaviour via app or recorded a video but appreciate that you listed some of your specs but windows version does matter aswell.

Did you try using Dx12 and it may be related to just a client crash so pretty much not on your side but who knows. Better to record logs or video the session and upload it here with detailed specs.
Update using the AMD cleanup utility staying with 20.9.1 and going to app data folder deleting all shader cache folders then launching the game worked. I am still using Vulcan. this worked to stop the crashes but the loading screens are a bit longer but the game is now playable. If you need to clear your shader caches windows + r type %appdata% then enter find path of ex2ile 2 folder and then go into the shader folder and delete them all.
I was using 20.9.2 pretty fine for the past few days but yesterday it too started crashing for me...

25.12.1 drove me to the limits of insanity.

I rolled back to 25.9.1 (not as far back as 20.9.x), and it seems to be running without any issues for the past 3 days now.
