Anyway, AMD's Terry Makedon quickly downplayed the event and said the statement from the AMD support member wasn't accurate. Now the company is rushing out a new alpha driver that fixes DirectX 9 game issues, you can grab the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.1.1 Alpha release over here.
This early access driver is being provided for users who have had issues launching a small number of DirectX 9 based games. This alpha driver has not been fully tested by AMD and is not recommended for general use.If you don't play old games there's no need to install this driver.
