New AMD 24.8.1 Windows WHQL driver fixes Black Myth: Wukong driver timeout crash

AMD has quietly updated its recently released Adrenalin 24.8.1 driver (Driver Version 24.10.37.04 for Windows 10 and Windows 11 / Windows Driver Store Version 32.0.11037.4003). The updated package is also WHQL certified and has added new game optimizations as well as bug fixes.

In addition to Black Myth: Wukong, Star Wars Outlaws, Concord, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta, the new driver gets optimizations for FINAL FANTASY XVI.

Besides that, AMD has also fixed a driver timeout (TDR) or app crash issue that affected Black Myth: Wukong, although the company has also added that the Global Illumination bug remains. The company also says that its driver team is working with the developers of Star Wars Outlaws on an intermittent corruption issue that happens after tweaking in-game graphics settings.

The full release notes are given below:
