AMD 26.5.1 driver lands with Pragmata support and Resident Evil Requiem stutter fixes

The 26.5.1 Adrenalin driver is carrying support for games like Pragmata and Tides of Tomorrow, while also fixing a couple of bugs.

It is new driver time for AMD Radeon graphics users, as the Adrenalin Edition 26.5.1 release has just landed for installation. It's been a pretty long wait, as the last release landed back in March. If you were expecting major features after all that though, prepare to be disappointed, as only support for games and a few bug fixes are included here.

For game support, PRAGMATA, Honor of Kings: World, INDUSTRIA 2, Tides of Tomorrow, and MONGIL: STAR DIVE are now officially here for AMD graphics users. The company did not give any details about how the titles are being improved by using this driver.

Outside of that, the two included bug fixes are aimed at Resident Evil Requiem and God of War:

• Intermittent stuttering may be observed while playing Resident Evil Requiem “Raccoon City” map on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products.
• Corruption may appear while playing God of War on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products.

Next, the list of known issues that AMD engineers are still working on resolving can be seen below, which is still carrying problems that have been listed for months now:

• Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible.
• Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products.
• AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products.
• Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon RX 9000 series products.
• Corruption may appear while playing Satisfactory on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products.

The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.5.1 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.
