As of 2018, I’m genuinely baffled by the persistence of this problem. I've performed a complete removal process twice now. Customer support for Origin offered no solutions. Furthermore, I’ve removed the driver entry from the system registry and completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game, yet I continue to receive the frustrating error message: "AMD Radeon driver version 0.0 detected. The necessary driver version is 13.251 or higher. Please update your drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before launching this game." This morning, I upgraded my drivers to version 18.12.2.
Do you possess a computer with both an onboard and separate graphics card? If so, you might need to investigate your graphics card settings to manually select the dedicated GPU, because automatic switching mechanisms aren't always reliable.
For a desktop setup, verify that your monitor is connected to your graphics card—if it's linked to the motherboard, you’ll be utilizing integrated graphics, which typically results in reduced performance and potentially a different driver.
