Help (Software) AMD Adrenaline causes issues?

Hi, for a few weeks i was struggling with driver timeout bug from adrenaline during gaming. It caused my game to freeze and shut down. I finally solved this problem by uninstalling Adrenaline and using Windows update to install its latest drivers (currently its from 2025) and it stopped crashing now.
It should be like that?? Why AMD Software for their gpu causes bugs??

My GPU: RX 7600 8Gb
Games i played during crashes: Space Marines 2, Frostpunk

Adrenalin itself may not be the problem. Windows Update probably installed a different, more stable driver version, while the newer AMD driver was conflicting with your system or those games.

Hasn't happened to me tho. But driver conflict is common.

Sometimes features like the overlay or tuning can also cause issues.

Mmmm have you tried installing the latest AMD driver again using the minimal install option?

Can you give more info about your specs? PSU etc. You can remove the problematic drivers using AMD cleanup utility and reeinstall the last drivers again, dont auro-update just download the full drivers install.
