BF5 does not start (detected AMD Radeon driver 0.0.0) Windows 10 / AMD Vega 64

@ibeetle6262 I know you tried DDU but did you do it in safe mode and if so if what @EA_Atic suggested does not fix it for you can you try it this way?Copy and past all of this to note pad and put it on your desktop...


Try this and do all steps to get you PC cleaned up ......

First rule out your windows if it gives a error and fixes it then reboot and run it a second time and reboot when its done....

Test your windows for errors as a clean windows install does not always make a stable windows. I run this once a week and after every format once all new drivers are in and windows updates is done.


Running SFC does not guarantee the crash will not happen, but it will ensure it is not because a windows Dll or file is corrupted in windows.

NOTE = Run command prompt as ADMIN and reboot PC after its done. No open web pages or programs like steam or Origin or web pages and always reboot after its done.
If you get a error first run then reboot PC ans run it again this tool in windows has saved me from many a format.
sfc /scannow safe for all windows you can copy and past sfc /scannow in command prompt as ADMIN.

Note = All the extra JUNK video card drivers install can and will make issues for many. And all the extra junk is just not needed for most people.

This is how you do a clean graphic driver clean install.........



1- For NVIDIA go download your driver put it on your desk top. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

For AMD http://support.amd.com/en-us/download



2- Go download DDU ...Display Driver Uninstaller and unzip it on desktop... Read the page fully if you have never used this program and yes it must be done in safe mode for it to work ... https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html



3- Go download the free version of CC cleaner install it..

https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner .... install it and clean your registry before you start the video card driver.



4 Once everything is downloaded and on your desktop then reboot your PC in safe mode... to get to safe mode type ... msconfig in run will bring up safe mode go to boot tab and check off safe boot Minimal hit apply and reboot PC.



5- Remove old video card driver in safe mode using DDU in safe mode



6- Once DDU is rebooting unplug your net so windows does not install a video card driver on you this must be done fully clean.



Once back in windows then install your video card driver but only install what I stated in step 7



7- When the time comes to install the video card driver you will be picking custom advanced you will only install two things from it for Nvidia cards 1- Graphics Driver 2- PhysX System and check off clean install. For AMD card Advanced only check off display driver and catalyst control center as well as check off clean install.



8- When new video card driver is installed reboot your PC

9- Once rebooted use CC Cleaner to clean the registry, reboot PC and check the registry one last time for any issues. If it finds any repeat steps until it finds none. CC cleaner will give you the choice to back up or not and the first time you run it it is normal if it finds 80 + errors in the registry as every installed or uninstalled program will leave fragments behind in registry and CC Cleaner will clean this up.

10-Run windows scan again just to be safe I run this about once a week on all my rigs it can save you many a format.

sfc /scannow and reboot PC and no open programs as they can give false errors. Once rebooted from windows scan then do step 11



11- Now to pull the most FPS out of your rig open NVIDIA Control Panel and under 3D settings .. Adjust image settings with Preview set it to use my preference and set it to performance and hit Apply. Sorry I no longer have any AMD in  the house and cant recall if this setting is in AMD catalyst control center. So just have a look in catalyst control center and see if you can find anything to set it to performance.
