SOURCE-AWARE ISSUE GUIDE
AMD GPU crashes and stability issues
Hotfix 1.4.2 is a prior hotfix and names a DLSS & FSR conflict that could cause stability issues across both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. Patch 1.6 (October 7, 2026) is the current live build; its notes do not claim a complete AMD crash fix. AMD Hotfix / 1.4.1 remains the prior Steam note that should reduce occurrence for some AMD GPU players and is not a complete AMD fix. Hotfix 1 (August 16) is a superseded earlier AMD stability step.
QUICK ANSWER
Prior hotfix 1.4.2 · DLSS & FSR conflict addressed · 1.4.1 partial reduction remains
The official Hotfix 1.4.2 post says a DLSS & FSR conflict that could cause stability issues across both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs has been addressed, alongside a PSO streaming decal crash and a bone indexing crash. It does not claim a complete AMD crash fix. The September 4 Steam post AMD Hotfix Now Live said a 1.4.1 change should reduce occurrence for some AMD GPU players and was explicitly not a complete fix for all AMD-related stability issues; a full solution remained a priority. Treat 1.4.1 as a prior partial-reduction note. The August 16 Hotfix 1 note previously said further AMD GPU stability improvements were implemented; treat that as historical. Temporary official DX11/DX12 and overlay workarounds remain version-sensitive.

REVERSIBLE CHECKS FIRST
What to do
- 01
Install Hotfix 1.4.2 or the newest game update and restart before changing local settings.
- 02
Retest the same map or server scenario that previously crashed. A remaining crash is expected to be possible; official 1.4.2 text names a DLSS & FSR conflict, not a complete AMD fix.
- 03
If instability continues, compare whether DLSS and FSR are both enabled. Official 1.4.2 text names that conflict across AMD and NVIDIA; it does not publish a required graphics preset.
- 04
In Steam Launch Options, test -dx12 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system as one complete option set only if instability continues on 1.4.2.
- 05
If DX12 remains unstable, remove that set and test -dx11 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system instead.
- 06
Test the official temporary suggestion of setting the in-game graphics preset to High.
- 07
Disable the In-Game Overlay in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition, then retest the same map or server scenario.
- 08
Record GPU model, driver version, game build (including whether 1.4.2 is installed), map and exact crash text before contacting official support.
IMPORTANT LIMITS
Before changing more
- Do not use the DX11 and DX12 options together.
- These are temporary official workarounds and results vary by system.
- Do not treat Hotfix 1.4.2 as a complete AMD crash fix. Official text names a DLSS & FSR conflict across AMD and NVIDIA.
- Do not treat AMD Hotfix / 1.4.1 as proof that every AMD crash is gone. Official 1.4.1 text says a complete fix is still a priority.
- Hotfix 1 (August 16) is a historical AMD stability step. AMD Hotfix / 1.4.1 remains the prior partial-reduction note after 1.4.2.
- Remove temporary launch parameters and retest on 1.4.2 or a newer build before keeping a workaround.
- A crash after 1.4.2 is a new report, not proof that the original launch defect is unchanged and not a promise that a complete AMD fix has shipped.
QUICK ANSWERS
AMD GPU crashes and stability issues questions
Did Hell Let Loose Vietnam Hotfix 1.4.2 fix every AMD crash?
No. Official 1.4.2 notes address a DLSS & FSR conflict that could cause stability issues across both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. They do not claim every AMD-related stability issue is gone.
Did the Hell Let Loose Vietnam AMD Hotfix fix every AMD crash?
No. Steam says 1.4.1 should reduce occurrence for some affected AMD GPU players and is not a complete fix for all AMD-related stability issues. A full solution remains a priority. Treat 1.4.1 as a prior AMD stability note after Hotfix 1.4.2.
What did Hotfix 1 change for AMD GPUs?
The August 16 Hotfix 1 note said further AMD GPU stability improvements were implemented. That is a historical step. Use Hotfix 1.4.2 for the named DLSS & FSR conflict and AMD Hotfix / 1.4.1 for the prior partial-reduction wording. Patch 1.6 (October 7, 2026) is the current live build and does not claim a complete AMD crash fix.
Should I still use the DX11 or DX12 launch options?
Only as a temporary official workaround if instability continues after installing 1.4.2. Test one option set at a time, never combine DX11 and DX12, and retest without the flags on the current build.
