AMD released the latest version of Radeon Software Adrenalin drivers. Version 21.2.2 beta doesn’t add any new game optimization (since there haven’t been any big releases since the previous 21.2.1 driver release; but fixes a handful legacy issues. To begin with, 3D objects failing to render correctly with the EEVEE renderer in Blender, on “Polaris” GPUs, has been fixed. A performance drop noticed with “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” when Smart Access Memory is enabled, has been fixed. Lastly, AMD addressed a display corruption issue with “Quake III Arena” (yes, that 22-year old game). Apparently AMD discovered display corruption issues during game load and gameplay, with Q3A just now.

The Radeon Software Adrenalin 21.2.2 beta drivers are available online at the AMD driver download page.
