Update AMD Radeon Drivers To play

It shows me an error when I try to play battlefront II to Update my AMD Radeon driver and it is really frustrating. I tried it when I first tried playing it, but it messed up my windows entirely, so I had to reinstall Windows.

  • Need more information. What graphics card do you have? What drivers do you have? Sounds like the game is telling you that your drivers are out of date.

    Installing gpu drivers shouldn't mess up windows,

    Try again. DO NOT  use latest AMD adrenaline drivers, they have bugs with BFII. Use 17.11.4 or OLDER

    Do I just go to the website and follow the steps to updating the driver?

    When I tried to install it , it said, "Error 173-AMD installer cannot continue since AMD graphics hardware was not found."
  • wow that's really strange can you post your dxdiag information?

    start > type "dxdiag" then it should open a dialogue. Press save all information. Attached the text file to your reply

    you might need to do start > run "dxdiag" if you are using an older version of windows.

    Also check your control panel > system > device manager. See if there are any devices with a question mark on them in the list. Check Display adapters for information

  • You need to do what fred says and get the bootcamp drivers. You're running bootcamp which is why they don't detect the hardware.

    17.10 is the latest there, which is considerably newer than the ones you have (15.7)
