Battlefield 6 Latest Driver Reinforcement
Ok so I enjoyed the beta /w my RX 7900 XTX but had to deal with an annoying Radeon 25.x driver update enforcement popup that prevented game launch,
I initially tried the 'recommended driver' (as I have with every driver using DDU beyond 24.7.1) & frankly, the newer drivers are all downhill & had multiple issues like Radeon hotkeys not working consistently, Relive recording completely broken & OSD missing FPS metrics + general responsiveness behavior worse than the older drivers on my setup, so I resorted to a registry fix for driver version(found on reddit) that is annoying as it also breaks the software compatibility on reboots meaning I had to reverse the fix before every shutdown, then re-apply it whenever wanting to play BF6. Reverting to 24.7.1 fixes all issues & functions consistently, with or without DDU.
Also for reference, 5800X3D , latest chipset drivers, Win11 24H2 26100.4770, everything stability tested decent temps, great airflow(full set Arctic P14 max), Corsair HX1000i, all separate PCIe cables & no issues in any other games including Hunt Showdown, Tarkov, Days Gone, Expedition 33, CP2077 @ 4k.
On 24.7.1 drivers with my RX 7900 XTX using regedit workarounds, the game ran flawlessly, OSD displayed FPS. It's frustrating that there was no user side option to Opt-out of newer drivers when older work perfectly fine.
Honestly I hope this is just a 'beta' thing, as though I'm a returning fan from BF2 days, this is a huge deterrent for playability, Nvidia users are having to resort to the same methods too I believe, when some older drivers are better than newer ones in general.
