Stability fix for Vastarmor Radeon RX 9070 XT Super Alloy?
It was unbelievable—I bought a brand new 9070 XT only for it to crash the moment I hit the main menu; felt like a total lottery. The Super Alloy drivers were choking on the complex scenes in Where Winds Meet, with the shader compilation queue overflowing between 12 - 15 GB, which just forced a driver reset. I tried lowering everything to the absolute minimum, but it still crashed, proving this wasn't a performance issue but a deep-level code conflict. I used DDU to completely wipe every trace of the old drivers and manually nuked 4.2 GB of shader cache files from my system drive. After a reboot, the loading screen dropped from 40 seconds to 15 seconds, and the black screens stopped. I did notice some slight stuttering during the first few minutes of gameplay as the shaders recompiled, but it smoothed out after a few minutes. GPU temps are now 55 - 62℃ with power draw at 180 - 210 Watts. Event Viewer shows zero driver errors now, and fans are steady at 1400 - 1600 RPM.
