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 had the same card as me.
Attached is the reddit thread and his quote, as it is very detailed:
"I had the same issue during my 10 hours of early access, it happened on any Ops Maps, Infinity it wouldn't happen unless I was with another person, and if you're not solo in the backyard battleground then it happens too. I didn't have any issues with it in the Backyard BattleGround until a friend joined, then it started cropping up.
What's also weird is it's green if you're a plant, and purple when you're a zombie, which also points to it being a bug in the game.
On another note, it hasn't happened once in multiplayer for me, so there's that at least, it's annoying but thankfully not gaming breaking to the point of unplayable."

This bug makes co-op (and solo play with AI allies) literally unplayable for us ☹️
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.

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