How to Fix AMD Crashes in Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

Safe troubleshooting order

Start with reversible official steps. Do not combine multiple registry, BIOS and file edits from community posts before verifying the primary-source workaround.

• Update AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition and reboot.
• Disable the AMD in-game overlay and close other capture overlays.
• In Steam Launch Options, enter the full line: -dx12 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system
• Launch the game and test the same map or repeatable scenario.
• If DX12 still crashes, replace the entire line with: -dx11 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system
• Delete the complete launch-option line to return to the default renderer.

Keep the launch field clean

Never run -dx12 and -dx11 together, and do not shorten the published command while describing it as the official workaround. These launch options are temporary diagnostics, not a permanent guarantee. If you joined the Crossplay Playtest, restore Video settings to defaults before comparing results because official notes also acknowledge settings persistence problems.

Record the result

For each attempt, record GPU model, Adrenalin version, exact launch argument, graphics preset, map, time to crash and whether an overlay was active. This produces a useful support report and prevents repeating the same failed combination.

When to stop

If both official renderer modes fail after a clean driver update, remove all launch arguments and check the latest hotfix notes. Avoid stacking unverified fixes that make rollback or support diagnosis harder.
