Specifically speaking, Radeon Software 17.5.1 fixes an issue where the error message "1603" sometimes appears during driver uninstallation. Also, a bug is fixed where Forza Horizon 3 could experience minor graphical corruptions on some game maps.

On the other hand, the Sid Meier'S Civilization title was experiencing several sudden crashes when using the Hybrid Graphics settings and windowed game mode, but this issue has already been fixed with the new Radeon Software 17.5.1 release.

Although the new driver fixes multiple issues, it also comes with some known issues, such as that GPU scaling might not work in some games, or that the Radeon Settings app might crash suddenly with AMD CrossFire mode turned on in Windows..

A small number of applications may still experience problems with borderless full-screen mode and AMD FreeSync technology.
