For the folks that seem to mostly have an R9 380 that have been experiencing this issue, looks like they didn't bother to fix it in Stormblood. I'll be trying again when it dies down and isn't so incredibly crowded, but I'll bet it's still an issue regardless. I hate to make a post that's basically just whining, but if you search the forums you can already see countless posts on this issue so I don't think we need a 50th in-depth analysis of everything that's been attempted.

For the sake of being thorough though: tried multiple versions of old and new drivers with clean uninstalls via DDU and/or AMD cleanup utility, tweaking every graphics setting in game and in AMD settings, underclocking GPU, rolling back Windows updates, Dx9 "works", every other game works no issues, every other function of computer works no issues.

Not sure what else we can do here. I'm going to keep submitting stuff to AMD and I guess continue to complain here and just hope that at some point they care about us enough to fix it before I have to buy a new video card.
