Fixing Sapphire RX 9070 XT runtime integrity failures
This was a total nightmare to track down. Following report SB-RX9-2025 on Win11, just reinstalling the redistributables did absolutely nothing. The fix was running the repair commands specifically with Administrator privileges. After sweeping the system files via CMD and running a 3DMark stress test, I saw the controller load peak stabilize between 0.31s - 0.46s. The scanner cleared 2.7GB - 3.4GB of junk cache, and those cliff-like freezes during loading vanished. To stop it from happening again, I whitelisted the entire game directory in my security software to prevent DLLs from being quarantined. Frames are now rock steady between 59fps - 64fps. However, the initial load time is still a bit sluggish after a reboot; the anti-cheat is probably just being paranoid and scanning everything twice.
