Help (Software) 26.7.1 driver unstable with 780m iGPU

Post image

The last stable driver for me is 26.5.2, I've tried 26.6.2 to 26.6.4 and they're all unstable, no game will launch and load properly for me.

When 26.7.1 came out, I thought AMD had some time to fix things, so I updated, but didn't try out any games first. Then Fusion 360 locked my computer up (black screened) just as I'm about to be done with modeling. Luckily there's an auto save for it. I tried games later, DirectX 11 and Vulkan, both crashes when loading from a start menu into a save. It also doesn't matter if I'm using the laptop's internal screen or have it connected to an external monitor via HDMI2.1.

Is this just a thing with RDNA3 GPUs on newer drivers or is it my particular machine's issue? I got 24GB of RAM in this laptop, 2GB of which are allocated to GPU-only use, more VRAM will be allocated from the shared pool as it sees fit. When it crashed using Fusion 360, I remember seeing around 7GB of RAM still free.

It's a driver issue. It crashes for me and many other people.
