If there is something good about AMD, it is undoubtedly its design in Hardware so its great products, especially for CPUs. But at the same time, if there's one thing AMD is doing wrong, it's its software. Years have lagged behind its rivals and despite raising its staff and taking several steps forward in this phase, it still has various problems that cause many users to consider buying their Hardware.
And whether the software is more important or more than hardware, so errors like the ones we've seen since the beginning of the year don't do much for the company. Today we have the latest and newest drivers for its chipset version 2.04.04.111
AMD Chipset driver 2.04.04.111: last straw?
We'll start by taking problems with the previous version 2.03, which we have already kicked in a bit since they have been driving many users crazy. The problem was simple, the installer stays at 0% of the installation and will never improve.
The problem arises from two different aspects, one of which would have the drivers installed correctly but could not see it, and the other would deal with poor installation, or problems related to downsizing of the previous drivers, and causing reboots and problems. are varied.
The fault is known as the 1720 and with these new drivers the 2.04 has not only been repaired, but there are a few new features:
Implement highlights
- Expired device IDs have been removed from the driver IOV.
- Expired device IDs have been removed from the driver USB 3.
- Improved overall system stability.
Troubleshooting
- The installer may disappear during installation.
- The installer can issue a code Error 1720.
- Installation will not replace non-C:.
- Screen rotation error is resolved with some AMD mobile processors
- The system stops on 7th Generation AMD A-Series APUs.
Known problems
- A pop-up Inst Inst Windows message may appear during installation.
- Moving the installation window during the installation process may cause the Windows to be installed / passed to the screen.
- Cannot open installation log file after completion.
- The installer cannot update the site below in the latest version. Workaround: Manually remove any previous installation, restart, and install the complete chipset package.
So, knowing all the new features this driver brings, what's the new problem that bothers AMD? Very simple, a .zip file in which the driver is downloaded cannot be opened, that is, we downloaded it from the AMD website and when we try to open a compressed file for installation we will receive the following message:
No matter what software decay we use, we cannot open it. It seems really strange that mistakes like this keep happening in a big company like AMD. The company should pay attention, because in this case the case is very small, the latter creates a great deal of controversy and malice among its users, among whom we are.
We'll have to wait for the new version to enjoy the improvements seen, but not before creating at least one point for restoring the system, at least.
