Problem with AMD 25.9.1 drivers. VR not working properly. | AMD Gaming | Page 1

Hello, I am having an issue with my HTC Vive Focus Vision VR headset. When I download the latest drivers (25.9.1) available for my graphics card (RX 5700XT), the VR software (VIVE Hub) and SteamVR do not work properly. However, when I install driver version 25.4.1, VR works perfectly fine, but I have stuttering issues in non-VR games (for example, in Dead by Daylight). How can I solve these issues? I would like to be able to play VR and non-VR games without any problems. It is tiring having to change driver versions depending on what I want to play. Please help me with this problem.

VIVE Hub displays error code: -1073740940 and SteamVR displays error 309 PeppoSad

My setup:
Ryzen 5 3600X
MSI B450M-A PRO MAX
32GB DDR4 RAM 3200 MHz
RX 5700XT Sapphire NITRO+

#

Where can I download it?

#

On my AMD software I don't see any update

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

On AMD.com

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

Okay, I'll try it. One more question. Should I do clean install or just regular update?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 11:01 AM

#

Regular update

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

Thank you. After install I will give feedback

#

Problem is still here

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 11:21 AM

#

Please file a bug report and attach that screenshot as well as the error codes you see

#

:(

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 11:26 AM

#

Where should I do it?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

top right corner, the bug icon

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

Okay, send.

#

They'll response? Or what I should do now?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 11:46 AM

#

good question x)

#

but they will look at the issue

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:03 PM

#

So that's it for now. I won't click Resolved Issue. If they respond I will give feedback.

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:04 PM

#

hope it gets solved quickly

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:06 PM

I have already done 2 system formats, a lot of system logs has been send to VIVE Support and the only way they said VR will work is on 25.4.1 driver version. That's kinda weird... It would be fine, but non VR games stuttering on 25.4.1

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:11 PM

#

what games stutter on 25.4.1?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:12 PM

#

Dead by Daylight, CS2, Sea of Thieves, tested only in this games (mainly playing them)

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:18 PM

#

odd. have you performed a shader cache reset?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

Where can I do it?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

Gear Icon -> System

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:20 PM

#

I was doing the format system 5 days ago, so I don't think that's the case, but I can do it

#

And should I downgrade drivers again?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

for now, until a proper fix is in place

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

If the shader cache doesn't help me, I need to choose what I wanna do. VR or Non VR games PepeSip

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:23 PM

#

the stutter should be an easier fix

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:24 PM

#

I will do it in a while and ping you later

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:24 PM

#

sounds good

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:55 PM

#

@tender harbor I'm here, downgraded drivers but don't see any option to clear shader cache

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:55 PM

bottom of the window

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

I see only Restore Default Settings, nothing else

#

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 12:56 PM

#

oh whoops

#

its in the Graphics settings

#

apologies

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 12:58 PM

#

This?

#

It's the last setting, bottom of the window

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:06 PM

#

yep!

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:07 PM

#

Okay, done

#

I will check VR first

#

And later I will test it in DbD

#

VR is working perfectly fine

#

And DbD is stuttering

#

While in game, it's dropping from stable and locked 60 fps to 52 fps

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

is the HMD disconnected?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

HMD?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

The VR Headset

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

yes, I turned it off

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

are all your mainboard drivers up to date, including the BIOS

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

yes

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

can you take a screenshot of the CPU utilisation in the game

#

as it stutters

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

to do that I should turn on adrenalin overlay?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

nop

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:28 PM

#

So how can i take this screenshot?

#

By task manager?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

yea

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

#

I think that's better for analysis than task manager

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 1:59 PM

#

task manager would also be useful

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

Okay, so I should do screenshot instantly when stutter appear?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

just after, please

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

Okay

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

wait like 5-10 seconds

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

Sure

#

CPU tab, right?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 2:01 PM

#

yes

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:07 PM

#

#

red arrows is when i had stutters

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 2:14 PM

#

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:15 PM

#

Now I can't because this is changing all the time

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 2:15 PM

#

#

you just need to right click anywhere in there

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:15 PM

#

I know, but this graph is just gone

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

#

I'm not in game right now

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 2:37 PM

#

Now I'm in game, stutters appeared 4 times

#

Sorry for my little missunderstanding PeppoSad

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 3:13 PM

#

is your CPU or memory overclocked?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 3:16 PM

#

Yes, CPU is overclocked and RAM is put into XMP mode

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 3:20 PM

#

please reset the CPU tuning for now

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 3:21 PM

#

Give me a second then, need go into BIOS

#

Okay, CPU is on stock right now

#

Should I hop into game and check it out?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 3:30 PM

#

yes please

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 3:37 PM

#

It is still stuttering, but a little bit less

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 3:40 PM

#

no just have it running

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 3:57 PM

#

Okay, game finished, what do you need?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 3:58 PM

#

screenshots from the HWInfo screen

#

ideally CPU and GPU ones

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 3:59 PM

#

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

the GPU only runs up to 100W?

#

did you limit it via Power Limits or Chill?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:00 PM

#

No, I didn't

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

can you send a screenshot from GPU-Z

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:01 PM

#

need to download, wait

#

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

did you buy this GPU second hand / used?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:04 PM

#

Yes, I did

#

It is working 6 months in my build now

#

Something is wrong?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

yes

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:05 PM

#

What's wrong?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

see those missing values

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:06 PM

#

Yes

#

Why it's missing?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

it was manipulated, most likely

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

And... What I should do about it?

#

Because when I install new drivers it's working perfectly fine

#

But VR don't work xd

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:11 PM

#

toxic lion Because when I install new drivers it's working perfectly fine

can you show that?

#

o.O

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

I mean

#

I don't have stutters on 25.9.1

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

is power consumption still limited to ~100W on the new drivers

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:12 PM

#

I don't know to be honest, I didn't checked that

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:13 PM

#

cuz if it is, its still faulty.

#

its likely a card that was used for mining

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:14 PM

#

Ohh....

#

So... Idk if I need to buy new card

#

Because I was thinking about it to be honest

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

do you have another GPU?

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

I have 1060 6GB

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

you could use that to flash the proper vBIOS onto the 5700 XT

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

how can I do it?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

im sure others here could help you with that

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:15 PM

#

but i need to have two GPU's in pc?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

rearch out in #tech-help ^^

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

toxic lion but i need to have two GPU's in pc?

if everything goes smoothly, no

#

but its good to have a backup.

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

But there is a risk to brick GPU, right?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:16 PM

#

there is

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

Well... I'll try to do it, but not today maybe

#

I don't have a lot of time now, going into work and etc.

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

yeah, you'll need to take your time w ith that

#

and make sure to ask in here too, folks can guide you through it

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

One more question, how long it takes to do that?

tender harbor Sep 19, 2025, 4:17 PM

#

so you dont make mistakes

#

maybe 30 minutes, with texting and what not?

#

would plan in an hour to be safe.

toxic lion Sep 19, 2025, 4:18 PM

#

Okay, thank you so much for everything
