AMD and War Selection. increase performance

We hasten to share the good news.

Users of AMD-based video cards met with unreasonably poor performance in our game.

And as it became known, this happens in many other modern games.

The problem that our programmer identified was in the video card driver. We contacted AMD with a detailed description of this issue. After researching, they recognized its presence and took up the correction.

And finally, the fix was added to the global driver update.

If you have an AMD based graphics card, we strongly recommend updating your video card drivers.

Starting with the "Adrenalin 2020 Edition 19.12.2 Recommended (WHQL)", this issue has been fixed and driver update will increase performance of almost all modern games using OpenGL.

Only update from the official website https://www.amd.com/en/support
