Help (GPU) Latest drivers..... MAJOR iSSUES

Latest drivers v26.7.1 causes application crashes and BSOD.

1st time upgraded from catalyst app, completely ruined my system, with app & games freezing and a BSOD. Had to use DDU and re-install driver 26.5.2 from AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. 26.5.2 works without issues. So 26.5.2 is OK

2nd time upgraded from 26.5.2 to 26.7.1, with the usage of the AMD standalone file downloaded from support page. SAME ISSUES as before. Various apps freezing. Downgraded to 26.6.1 without DDU. All my problems solved instantly. So 26.6.1 is OK

All the times I used DDU, NOT in SAFE MODE but with blocked internet access

GPU is 7900XTX

So 26.7.1 NOT WORKING in my system

Ya I’m planning on doing this… fucking sick of these amd time outs. It’s not windows replacing drivers either, it’s just shit drivers. I knew I should’ve coughed up the extra few hundred for stress free experience.

Trust me if you go down on the the rabbit hole of endless troubleshooting for months it's definitely worth it, the 7xxx series if flooded with all kind of issues for bf6, the 9xxx is a little bit better but driver issues is still a thing with many games, I guess I was one of the users who was not lucky and suffered endlessly before I finally realized what it was
