AMD 14.2 driver incompatability(1)Category: Technical SupportMay-23-2014 4:44 PM PDT (9 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I recently discovered that Diablo 3 likes to crash whenever I enter the Desolate Sands or Rifts that use too many of it's assets. Doing some research revealed that this is the result of some incompatibility with AMD Catalyst drivers above 14.x.
To confound the issue, when I do downgrade to 13.12, Diablo 3 is now unable to start (it gives me a warning about my GPUs being incompatible and when I tell it to proceed anyways, it never loads).

It is quite frustrating to have to decide between a game that doesn't load or a game that constantly crashes in certain areas. My only hope to be able to play the game flawlessly would be for either AMD or Blizzard to develop a patch that remedies whatever causes the crash.

I am open to suggestions, but I would like to see Blizzard patch up the game to fix this bug if possible.

Quetzocoetl,

It should be working fine if you hit escape to skip the warning message about the outdated driver.

I usually recommend Catalyst 13.1 for this issue actually.
