Windows 10 Creators Update has started to roll out on April 11, 2017 and some OEMs have updated drivers and other software for their hardware products to support it. Chipmaker AMD just released a new version of its Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition suite for GPUs: version 17.4.2 is now recommended for all Windows 10 users with eligible hardware products.
Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.4.2 not only brings Windows 10 Creators Update support, but also fixes some annoying bugs and rough edges in recently released games, including Battlefield 1. It's also improving the support for SteamVR. See the list of new features below:
