AMD rolled out the Adrenalin Edition 26.1.1 WHQL graphics driver, adding official support for the latest Ryzen AI 300-series mobile chips such as the Ryzen AI 9 HX 475 and Ryzen AI 5 430. The update also offers an optional AMD AI Bundle install and brings compatibility for Starsand Island and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora – From the Ashes Edition.

The build patches several visual bugs: shadow glitches in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, texture corruption in Enshrouded, launch failures for Diablo IV with non‑English usernames, and Chromium/Electron rendering flaws on RX 5000 and RX 6000 GPUs. It also resolves Unreal Engine 5.6 Lumen HWRT crashes and rendering problems in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Baldur’s Gate 3.

AMD flags lingering problems: intermittent crashes or driver timeouts in Cyberpunk 2077 with Path Tracing, instability in Battlefield 6 on Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 rigs, task‑switching crashes in Roblox Player on RX 7000 series, and texture flicker when using Record & Stream in Battlefield 6. The company says fixes are in development, keeping the driver roadmap active.
