Links 2K3 may crash with AMD Radeon Driver 23.8.1
Posted: August 29th, 2023, 6:51 pm
This is from Sage's Sequoyah thread but will x-post it here in the right board.
Starting with the latest release of 23.8.1. one of the long standing (3 years) graphic corruptions with AMD cards and Links2K3 was fixed (polygon spike at golfer's ankle). Unfortunately, this build also now seems to crash with a variety of different courses when it comes time to redraw after a shot. As below I have reported it to AMD and posted in their forums. It's very odd as it only seems to happen on certain holes of the courses in question. Anyhow, if you're on a dedicated/discrete AMD card with that driver version and you crash, maybe add your findings to the thread on the AMD forums.
Note: To get to the previous version 23.7.2 which works, there is a 'Previous Driver' button in under the main drop down info window for the current driver.

Adelade, I've submitted a bug report to AMD and posted on their support forum about it. I'm sure they'll get right on the crash in a 20 year old game. ;-)

I was able to go to the Adrenaline download page and get 23.7.2 which is the last driver package which works (there is a previous drivers link in the middle somewhat hidden). This solved the crashing but continues to show a bug I reported 3 years ago with them about a white polygon 'spike' coming out of the golfer's ankle, laugh.

Current 23.8.1 solved that spike issue but caused the crashes. One step forward, two steps back. :)
