Purple or Green pixelated fog on R9 380 cards.

When playing a solo game of PvZ Garden Warfare 2 on an R9 380, me and another person I've talked to get green and purple pixelated fog. I don't know the range of AMD that this affects, but this guy h...

    Just a heads up,

    I managed to get the green and purple fog to go away with the 16.3 Crimson drivers.

    First, I ran the Display Driver Uninstaller utility from Guru3D. 

    http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

    Might as well grab the drivers while you're doing that, too:

    http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/non-whql-64bit-radeon-software-crimson-16.3-win10-win8.1-win7-march9.exe

    Extract, run, reboot into safe mode, uninstall drivers, reboot again, install 16.3 drivers, reboot a 3rd time after installation, and viola, it was gone.

    I summoned 3 AI players and planted the garden in a Garden Ops match, which is where the green/purple fog would appear whenever I would summon an AI player. Oddly, the fog would only appear whenever the character was in my view.

    I don't know if it matters, but I did overclock the card right away from 980 to 1100 GPU, and memory from 1425 to 1500.

    MSI R9 380

Did you start the op in full screen and then, while in the op, went to windowed? I also had to change the resolution when going windowed (or you can manually resize from the corner of the window). If you swap before the op it won't work. But then the bug should have gone until you restart the game.

It's not a definite solution of course.

Will post my Dx Diag shortly.
