User reported issues or my own reported issues for 24.5.1
May strikethrough more issues that are fixed in 24.6.1 haven't gone thru whole list yet.

Forcing AA/AF settings in OpenGL games may no longer take effect, af can be tested using this tool https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/amd-software-adrenalin-edition-24-3-1-driver-download-and-discussion.451675/page-6#post-6217905
Windows HDR Calibration may fail to apply HDR color profile after a driver timeout, until you right click on desktop and click display settings.
When user experiences driver timeout noise suppression may turn it self off sometimes.
The Division 2 Freesync 2 HDR looks either washed out slightly compared to HDR10 or looks broken if certain overlays render on top including dragging a window on top.
Some games such as Elden ring may experience driver timeouts during video playback active in background such as having this page open in the background https://imgur.com/t/unmuted?source=featured_tag_module

God rays in The Last of us part 1 in various places of the game may appear thru buildings, previously reported as VK3D issue, while reported not happening on Windows, however issue does also happen on Windows with directx12. https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/issues/1518
Radeon Software may think the game is still running, it however is not running, this may happen with games launched from steam that require the EA client, work around exit the EA client this should not be necessary if it detected right executable, user may also try remove game from Radeon Software and scan for new games to see if it detects right executable.
CPU performance metrics may have weird values or no data such as a 0.
When clicking release notes > button from System tab in Radeon Software it will open the following link https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/knowledge-base-search.html rather then the release notes right here https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-24-5-1.html

Elden Ring may sometimes fail to switch to fullscreen or borderless vice versa, this used to be 100% reproduceable now may happen only 1 out of 3 5 7 or 10+ times
̶Elden Ring may have driver timeouts when spamming cannon of haima for example as a Wizzard at Mohgwyn palace it always happens while charging up, issue is takes less time to reproduce while https://imgur.com/t/unmuted?source=featured_tag_module is open in Firefox tab with hardware acceleration turned on, video playback is technically alkways active in apps such as discord thru animated frames avatars or gifs or in apps like whatsapp desktop or steam.
Radeon software may think game is still running when game is launched via another launcher such as EA app from steam or EA anti cheat launcher.
When users select recon class in Battlefieldâ„¢ V when Directx12 is turned on, and they use the M3 infrared weapon and zoom in they will crash to desktop.

importing user configuration in Radeon Software may cause system or radeon Software to hang or even crash, leading to imported settings to be reset back to default in some cases, if user does not click keep settings before it hangs/crashes.
Enshrouded may have corrupt shadows at bottom left of screen when camera is angled in specific way, which depends on what direction you look at, for example opesite side of the sun, and straight at the horizon, while outdoors.
Windows Update may override user Drivers if Windows Driver Updates is not disabled, even while playing a game, if game mode is not properly engaged.
Some apps may trigger max vram clocks, until app is restarted such as steam big picture, or big picture related settings such as controller calibration settings.
Radeon Software may not open recorded footage and instead flicker on and off, while being able to play some footage, this may indicate a issue with the way files are written.
Radeon software may not write relive recorded files properly making them invisible until going into game section > game that last recorded and opening folder from relive section of the recording.
Overwatch 2 may have longer exit time than normal on systems with AMD Radeon GPUs
Overwatch 2 when alt tabbed from, then alt tabbed back to will remain frozen until cursor is shown, either by pressing emote menu or pressing escape or from alt tabbing a second time into Overwatch 2.
AMD Relive may record or screenshot/videos to dim or have inaccurate color representation when HDR is enabled, work around use OBS for now and force SDR in the display capture, alternatively user can select color format P010 and colorspace rec.2100 (PQ) or (HLG) while using the AMD HEVC / AMD AV1 codec with recording quality set to quality.
Hogwarts legacy has non functional shaders that do not respond to lumos light spell when RT shadows are turned on, shaders are GPU programs that decide how things look, like how light or dark a texture may appear for example.
Performance metrics may flicker on and off slowly or fast during picture in picture play in some games such as palworld at full 3D load or World of Warcraft.
Doom eternal may show flickering decals in random places during first horde mode cutscenes or gameplay, or other maps at random places foreground background other places when non standard aspect ratio is selected, work around is select 16:9 aspect ratio any other aspect ratio introduces flickering on ultra nightmare preset, users may also lower decal textures which may make reduce flickering.
Death stranding may have RGB eye flickering during cutscenes that can also appear during gameplay, which can be checked by using a trainer to zoom in fov enough on the head, using the photo tool does not reproduce the issue, this may not be an issue on death stranding director cut.
Radeon software when using stress test and stopping it before it finisches, it will finisch the run rather then stop, because Radeon Software is above user, and will contineu even if you tell it to stop.
Motion blur may not be working in palworld on AMD gpu's when drivers are set to run on the new dxnavi, but will work if fallen back on the old dx11 optimizations from 22.5.1.
AMD audio devices that are made thru input output noise suppression may distort above 54% volume, this is unavoidable when using whatsapp desktop which has no option to not automaticly adjust mic levels for example, which AMD can fix by making it default at 100% but at 54% of the volume level currently.
Tutorial messages such as how to open AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition using set key combination for example alt+r keep re appearing after cleared, even if tutorial messages is turned off.

7900 XTX users may have 100 watts idle with multi monitor setups for some monitor configurations.

AMD Cleanup Utility can cause a endless safe mode boot loop, this can be fixed by running msconfig and turning off safe boot, by hitting win+r type msconfig then navigate to boot and uncheck safe boot. (suggestion update the wiki on this issue, and that the user can disable safeboot thru win+r type msconfig navigate to boot and disable safe boot)

Gooddamn AI can't escape the buzzword even in radeon drivers release notes. 😕

I want AL+ back. And expanded games support list. And expanded Boost games supported list.

aufkrawall2
So I could finally report the Fortnite shader compile issue and Radeon video scaling broken in Firefox with this branch too...
On the bright side: Finally hardware cursor + vsync fixed again. At least on 7800 XT, I guess on Phoenix APU it's still broken.

"Display" tab has been moved from "Gaming" to the gear (settings).. just in case anyone is looking for it.
It didn't make sense in the Gaming anyway, so good change.
p.s. not sure if this change happened in 24.5 or 24.6, I just noticed it now

Flickering in Ratchet & clank: rift apart looks fixed now, framegen tho with FSR 3.1 update looks broken may need test more.

Just as I expected, Fortnite is unplayable (even after the game update from today). So many builds from the new branch but AMD didn't want to fix the issue. But I didn't expect anything else. They still have bugs from more than a year waiting for a fix... So Fortnite will wait... some months.
I didn't expect so much but I'm disappointed again! o_O

rolled back to the May driver package. And that's why.

Probably better to use 24.5.1 D3D12 DLL, as it is newer.
Or probably at least has a branch with some more consumer fixes that landed without also shipping the regression.
