I can confirm that 20.11.2 works with RealFlight on our 5700xt as well. It appears that AMD fixed their bug.
20.11.2 is working for me too (5500xt).
21.4.1 doesn't work.
Anyone tried the new release from AMD (21.5.2)?
Is there a plan to add a fix to RF?
Usually these type of things are "driver" related so you can have problems across multiple products from a manufacturer. These day's drivers generally have conditional compiles that allow one set of software to work across more than one product line so you see this type of thing. It's still an AMD issue but I do agree KnifeEdge should move to a newer version of DirectX which willl give them better support and probably a fix for AMD. But AMD is known for poor drivers so lots of people stay away from them for that reason alone. I'm sorry about your issues but in the end this is still an AMD driver issue.I had a 5700 XT card and I recently upgraded to a 6900 XT. This issue is not isolated to AMD 5000 cards only. The issue exist on 6000 cards as well. The game freezes at startup.
Neither of the current drivers offered by AMD works with Realflight 8 or 9.5:
21.4.1 Recommended
21.5.2 Optional
Note: I've only tested the Steam edition and not the stand alone version
This is now a very old issue and it's affecting a lot of users.
KnifeEdge: Please have a look at this again.
Thanks

I have to agree with you there it would be in their interest to come up with a fix for it. But I've also seen this same issue with AMD drivers on quite a few different games in the past so it happens more with AMD drivers than it does with NVIDIA drivers. It's too bad I'm sure it would be a simple fix once you find it.I'd like to think that it is in KnifeEdge's (economic) interest to analyze if there is a work around on their end instead of just hoping that AMD will come with a solution. The situation is basically that AMD owners cannot use this product.
I read this topic through and it's still unclear if they even have tried to solve the issue from their side. Maybe it is?
DX11/12? Yeah, totally agree.
KnifeEdge: If I can assist in any way, please let me know. Log files, tests etc...
I haven't followed this very close but wasn't there a set of drivers for the 5700 xt that was usable? Here's a post from Jeremy Sebens about the 5700 xt card KE purchased and tested.
Our card arrived and we were able to test various drivers. Results with RealFlight mirror others':
The "Recommended" driver is the one that AMD designates as stable. A quick survey suggests that the "Latest" driver, while not named as a beta, seems to have issues on many titles, not just RealFlight.
- With the "Recommended" (by AMD) 20.4.2 driver, RealFlight 9 runs fine.
- With the "Latest" 20.8.1 driver, RealFlight 9 hangs on the loading screen and stops responding.
We'll convey this information to Product Support so that they can more quickly help other users.
Yes I remember when that job posting first came out it's definitely the right thing to do DX9 is ancient.it looks like they may be looking to move out of directx 9 based on this job posting
- Experience with Unity, Unreal, or Unigine a plus
- Experience porting DirectX9 to a modern api a plus
- Physics and Math background a plus
Contact AMD and have them fix the Driver. Realflight hasn't changed in a very long time and was working fine on AMD hardware before theyRadeon 6900XT only driver that works for now is Adrenalin-20.12.2
Fixing AMD driver issue i guess should be huge priority for KnifeEdge as you are loosing big chunk of the market.
Everything except a dedicated Windows machine with an NVidia card.Man... Feels like I've tried everything...
Try one more thing; switch from Fedora to Mint; or to ubuntu upstream. I think you'll have better luck with the sound on Mint. I'm impressed that you got DXVK to work (on Fedora) with RealFlight.2: Tried to get Realflight working in Fedora with Lutris and Wine. I got really far here: Game starts fine (thanks to DXVK) and I managed to get the FrSky USB sim dongle working as well.
