AMD just released a new Crimson ReLive 17.3.1 driver that is now available to download. The latest driver comes a day ahead of the release of Ghost Recon Wildlands and offers game day launch support for Ubisoft's open world shooter, along with up to a six percent bump in performance compared to ReLive 17.2.1. Not too shabby for a simple driver update.

Women of Ubisoft – LaQuoia Gibson. December 21, 2018. Few people at Ubisoft San Francisco are better-known than LaQuoia Gibson. The 12-year veteran.

That six percent figure is specific to Radeon RX 480 graphics cards. It's not clear if the performance gain on other cards will be quite as significant, but either way, this is the driver to use if you plan on playing Ghost Recon Wildlands. It also includes a multi-GPU profile for the game.

Outside of a free performance gain, the latest driver release from AMD stomps out a dozen bugs. They include:

• Battlefield 1 may experience flickering textures or terrain when returning to game after performing a task switch.
• For Honor may experience flickering or corruption on character models when highlighting them in menus.
• For Honor may experience texture flickering in Multi GPU enabled system configurations.
• Radeon Settings may fail to install the latest graphics driver on systems with user accounts that contain spaces.
• Mouse cursor corruption may be experienced on some Radeon RX 480 series graphics products.
• Custom fan settings in Radeon WattMan are sometimes not retained after the system enters sleep or hibernate.
• Adjusting Radeon WattMan settings on some Radeon R9 380 series products may cause display flickering or application hangs.
• System may fail to reboot when “Restart Now” is selected during a custom Radeon Software install.
• Borderless Fullscreen mode and AMD FreeSync technology may experience stuttering or flickering on some multi display system configurations.
• Radeon ReLive is not functional when Hyper-V is enabled on Windows.
• Counter-Strike: Global Offensive may experience stuttering when using Radeon Chill.
• DOTA 2 may experience stuttering on some system configurations with Radeon ReLive enabled.

We're still working on a full review of Wildlands, though in the meantime you can see our initial impressions by checking out our review-in-progress. We also have some thoughts on the game's performance and settings.

Ghost Recon Wildlands released a new patch on PC today, which will later arrive on PS4 and Xbox One consoles on Thursday, March 23. According to Ubisoft, console device download times for the Ghost Recon Wildlands Update 2.0 will begin Thursday morning UTC, or as early as Wednesday evening EST.

The 2.0 update focuses on every facet of the game, including gameplay content, connectivity, and stability. Let's dive into some of the key tweaks:

Many of the changes made to Wildlands this time were based on feedback from the gamer community – this way, many small changes can result to significant improvements. Changes include adjustments to mission markers and GPS pathfinding, the option to turn off the radios, as well as the option to choose the type of vehicle you wish to spawn when using the 'Drop Vehicle' rebel skill.

Moreover, players that prefer to play Wildlands at the hardest difficulty are allowed to choose the type of intel they wish to collect while interacting with NPC or files, enabling a better flow of gameplay as well as the ability to find missions, new weapons, and skills.

The Ghost Recon Wildlands 2.0 patch ranges from 3 GB to 5 GB, depending on PC or console device, and will require players to restart once the installation is complete. Check out the Patch Notes below:
