With the newly released Driver 17.7.2, AMD fixed many reported issues and added some much wanted features:

  • Pre-Pass and VBAQ are finally working,
  • H265/HEVC content can distinguish between IDR- and I- Frames
  • and also supports Color Range and Color Space now,
  • and the 32-bit only text log crash was fixed.

And now it's time for the plugin to also be updated! This release primarily aims at adding support for AMF 1.4.4 and improving support for older drivers, with some of the recently discovered bugs and crashes fixed.

Hotfix 1: Fixed VBAQ and Pre-Pass being used with Constant QP, causing significant corruption issues and changed some default values for H265.
Hotfix 2: Fixed an at-exit crash caused by an AMF trace function.
Hotfix 3: Fixed an issue with Constant QP that caused it to incorrectly use Minimum/Maximum QP.
