Battlefield 1 gives an error message "AMD driver 0.0.0. detected"

Hey @_TriStanSmythe_

Sorry to hear about this.

Have you done a clean uninstall/reinstall of the latest Graphics Drivers?

After you've done that, try clearing Origin Cache: https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

Then, run Origin and Battlefield 1 as Administrator.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks 🙂

Good day/evening @iluminatethesky 

Thank you for the reply and the suggestions. 

I already have done multiple clean reinstalls of my Radeon AMD graphics drivers, but still to no avail. 

After the clean driver reinstalls, using the DDU uninstaller, I went and cleared the Origin Cache as show by the supported link and restarted the PC, but I still get same "AMD driver 0.0.0. detected" error message, even when running it as admin.

Before buying the Radeon RX570 4GB graphics card, I used the Integrated Vega 8 Graphics supplied by my Ryzen 3 2200g processor, and played Battlefield 1 fine with it. 

But now when using the new discrete GPU as the primary adapter, it seem as if the game is still trying to find the integrated graphics. 

I have tried switching the integrated graphics off, but my Motherboard, the MSI A320M PRO-VD PLUS, does not supply that option in BIOS 

Hey @_TriStanSmythe_,

You're very welcome 🙂 Sorry for the late reply.

Have you tried this? This is specifically for AMD GPUs:

http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx

Then in device manager, select the default graphics adapter driver and check for updates. This will update the legacy driver for the GPU. 

Once done, install the latest AMD driver and try again.

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks 🙂

Good day @iluminatethesky 

No problem, thank you for the reply. 

I have now, instead of the DDU uninstaller utility, tried the AMD Clean install utility from the link provided. 

All AMD drivers were wiped. After I rebooted the PC, I went to device manager and selected the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter that did not have the exclamation mark underneath it, and prompted to update the drivers. (I was connected to an internet network)

When selecting to automatically search for an update, I only received a message that the latest drivers for the device were already installed, and it wouldn't go further from there. 

So I manually reinstalled the latest AMD Driver. 19.8.2 Adrenalin. 

This specific driver is the newest for the discrete graphics card and the integrated graphics. 

Unfortunately, it still gives the same error.

After the update I went to device manager again and I could see both the Radeon Vega integrated graphics and the Radeon RX570 series, but underneath the integrated graphics, there is an exclamation icon.

When viewing the properties, it says that windows had to shut off the device because of a problem. (error 43)

Disabling the Integrared graphics in device manager, doesn't solve the error, and my BIOS settings do not have an option to disable the onboard integrated graphics. 

Thank you for taking the time to try and help me. 

Hey @_TriStanSmythe_  Thanks for coming back and details! 

Have you tried to start a new Windows account with Admins right and see if you get the same issue?
