After getting a new GPU MTA freezes

John Smith · December 14, 2019

Hi. After buying and installing a new GPU (AMD RX 580) I can no longer play MTA without it freezing 5 seconds after being in the menu.

Some additional info:

GTA works if I delete GTA User Files and don't mess with some(?) setting(s), namely disabling framelimiter causes an instant issue where game actually works, but it's frozen in the current frame forever
Even if GTA works, mouse click support for it disappears after around a minute of playing. I do wanna note that some strange sound plays like 15 seconds prior to that (if I had to guess I'd say it's amd software center maybe because it had done something? idk)
Got MTA to work once with default GTA low settings, but after changing them to higher ones, the freeze issue comes
Before I got this GPU, I used integrated graphics in my current CPU, and it had it's own drivers. However, before installing my GPU and it's drivers, I had removed all Intel graphics drivers in Safe Mode with an utility program called Display Driver Uninstaller (from Guru3D), and afterwards I had installed newest graphics drivers from AMD
Tried other game to see if it's GPU issue (game: Heroes of Might and Magic III) and it worked fine
Tried reinstalling GTA and MTA, did not fix issue apart from reverting it to original settings on which it somewhat works (as specified above) but as soon as I want to change settings to anything humanlike normal, the freeze issue occurs

Thanks for reading

edit2: this has been temporarily fixed by reverting to an older driver, seems to be the problem in adrenaline 2020
