    I'm on whatever Windows Update installed and everything works for streaming. Now AMD has Catalyst Application Profiles 12.9 CAP 1 out and the app keeps nagging me. Part of me wants the fixes, part of me remembers teh last time an update gave me black screens for a week. Has anyone been rnuning it for a while? Any issues worth knowing before I click install? I would love a short, honest answer from people who have actually used it for a few weeks. pls help 馃檹

    keep a short log of what driver youre on and when u changed it (pnputil /enum-drivers shows installed packages and dates) lol When something breaks later, youll know if the timing matches. lmk how it goes

    read the release notes on the AMD support page before anything else. they list fixed issues and known issues xD if a known issue matches your setup, wait; if teh fixes don't touch u, there's no rush.

    yeahhh driver updates do sometimes include security fixes, so i wouldn't stay on a very old version forever. But waiting a week or two after release to see if a hotfix appears is perfectly reasonable.

    My approach: make a restore point, download teh previous driver package so its ready, then try the new one. If anything misbehaves, DDU and reinstall the old one. That makes updating a low-risk experiment. worked for me anyway 馃し

    For single-player games, stability matters more than the newest game optimizations. If theres a seaprate stable/studio/recommended branch, thats usually teh better fit. fingers crossed 馃

    @milan_voxel omg finally decided to wait two weeks, then updated with the previous package ready just in case. Catalyst Application Profiles 12.9 CAP 1 has been fine so far.

    mindblown
