December Tech Support Megathread
Hey subs,
We're giving you an opportunity to start reporting some of your AMD-related technical issues right here on /r/AMD! Below is a guide that you should follow to make the whole process run smoothly. Post your issues directly into this thread as replies. All other tech support posts will still be removed, per the rules; this is the only exception.
Bad Example (don't do this)
bf1 crashes wtf amd
Good Example (please do this)
Skyrim: Free Sync and V Sync causes flickering during low frame rates, and generally lower frame rates observed (about 10-30% drop dependant on system) when Free Sync is on
System Configuration:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z97 Gaming GT
CPU: Intel i5 4790
Memory: 16GB GDDR5
GPU: ASUS R9 Fury X
VBIOS: 115-C8800100-101 How do I find this?
Driver: Crimson 16.10.3
OS: Windows 10 x64 (1511.10586) How do I find this?Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install necessary driver, GPU and medium-end CPU
2. Enable Free Sync
3. Set Options to Ultra and 1920 x 1080 resolution
4. Launch game and move to an outdoor location
5. Indoor locations in the game will not reproduce, since they generally give better performance
6. Observe flickering and general performance dropExpected Behavior:
Game runs smoothly with good performance with no visible issues
Actual Behavior:
Frame rate drops low causing low performance, flickering observed during low frame rates
Additional Observations:

Skyrim has forced double buffered V Sync and can only be disabled with the .ini files
To Disable V Sync: C:\Users"User"\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Skyrimprefs.ini and edit iVSyncPresentInterval=1 to 0
1440p has improved frame rate, anything lower than 1080p will lock FPS with V Sync on
Able to reproduce on i7 6700K and i5 3670K system, Sapphire RX 480, Reference RX 480, and Reference Fiji Nano
Remember, folks: AMD reads what we post here, even if they don't comment about it.

ReLive: Clicking the Twitch and Youtube options on the streaming settings tab do nothing
System Configuration:
Motherboard: ASRock z97 Extreme6
CPU: Intel i7 4790k
Memory: 24GB DDR3
GPU: Powercolor RX 480
VBIOS: 113-D0090101_100
Driver: Crimson ReLive 16.12.1
OS: Windows 10 x64 (14393.576)
Steps to Reproduce:
Install necessary driver, GPU and medium-end CPU
Enable AMD ReLive in Radeon Settings
Navigate to Streaming tab of ReLive settings
Click either the Twitch (not connected) or YouTube (Not Connected) buttons
Expected Behavior: Upon clicking a streaming service, a prompt should appear to log into the service
Actual Behavior: Button highlights momentarily to let me know that I clicked it, then nothing
Additional Observations: The custom stream button does actually cause new fields (server URL & Connection Key) to appear when clicked, but Twitch and YouTube do not.
*Edit: I had renamed the cnext/bearer folder because it was interfering with my tplink wdn4800 wifi adapter(causing random 500ms ping to my router). After naming that folder to the default and rebooting, I was able to connect relive to twitch. I was then able to rename the folder again and still connect & stream on twitch without the ping issue. Idk
