Crimson 15th of December
I’m setting up Crimson 15.11 for the first time and want to avoid any issues. I’ve already saved Crimson 15.12 from AMD’s site. My concerns are whether I should run the installer directly or take some preparatory steps first. Should I remove version 15.11 before proceeding? Thanks for your help—I just don’t want anything going wrong. Prevention is better than cure, as they say.
It's been a wild ride with all the NVIDIA driver updates lately. While AMD has made progress, I've found myself relying on the "click update" feature for a while now. Speaking of which, back in the day with CCC, I had to remove the old driver, restart, install the new one, and then restart again.
DDU refers to a specific type of file associated with certain software updates. It’s not necessarily a massive file, but it can sometimes cause issues if not handled properly. You don’t have to use special tools to remove it—just ensure you’re using the latest drivers and clearing the problematic files. Uninstalling old drivers and rebooting twice is a common workaround, though it might not always be the safest method. Be cautious of rumors about drivers affecting your PC; they can be misleading. If you're unsure, consider backing up important data first.
For issues with Crimson 15.11, perform a fresh installation using DDU. http://www.wagnardmobile.com
I really don’t get why rebooting remains useful. Updating NVIDIA drivers without restarting seems quite convenient.
I'll dedicate some time to gradually restarting instead of rushing through repeated reboots, which could save hours of dealing with a lingering ghost driver on the PC. Lol. I’m counting on AMD to improve their update installation—there should be a button for automatic updates in their software. Thanks a ton! The community is really helpful and supportive.
