Many thanks from a 64 year young gamer. My "go" arrives tommorow. I had been looking for tips and guides, your guide is simple to follow. Again, many thanks.
I was trying to play BG3 for the first time on my Legion GO and I couldn't understand why, but the game kept crashing. I had recently updated Windows and the graphics were up to date, until I found this video. I followed all the steps and it solved everything, now the game runs as it should, smooth as butter, thanks for the help you're a lifesaver and you've gained another subscriber. Keep up with the good work!
Thank you so much for your support and positive feedback ♥️ There is a lot of content coming in the future for the Legion GO and other handhelds so please stay tuned and have a wonderful day!
I'm very happy to hear its working now, thank you for your positive feedback and enjoy! Please stay tuned to the channel for updated guides in the future ❤️
You're welcome thanks for stopping by and providing positive feedback it means a lot. Make sure you pause Windows updates for 5 weeks if you haven't already 😊 enjoy!
@DeckWizard why pause the updates though? Didn't that fresh install program already set it up so windows won't update the amd drivers? I'm not quite following here..
I usually don’t comment on videos but this helped me a lot because suddenly I was having a blue screen with the code “amdkmdag.sys” and I assume it was a faulty driver. So I decided to delete all of AMD drivers and reinstall them with your guide. It works now without that error. Thank you!
@@keith3673 I’m guessing that was an issue caused by the update bu Windows, but yes it worked. It can’t harm to install the new drivers, though. You’ll still have the newest drivers and Adrenalin edition
You've made an indie game compliation for steam deck, will you make one for legion go? Thank you so much for your videos, your guides are helpful and the way you show off games doesn't leave any questions (well, besides mine above, if there will be more😂)
Thank you so much man! This is really interesting, because i see that I have the original driver from Lenovo for last half of year. I'm using Nvidia rtx 3080 as my external GPU, but (!!!) for example the new Stalker 2 runs smoothly on the internal GPU. I'll try to do all this tommorow and will see is there any difference between the original driver and the new one. Hoping not to "brick" my lenovo :)
I hope it helps, please make sure to pause the Windows updates and also stay tuned to the channel for more guides in the future future, have a great day and try to let us know how your experience goes. ❤️
@ thank you again! I did everything as in this video, and now Stalker 2 is a little smoother and looking good! All of my settings are on medium with 1920short frame freezes are no longer a problem, and IT’s now playable on legion go :) fsr - performance, but there are some other bugs, now after I change my resolution in game, it’s just black screen and I need to restart game, but I dont change it after I put needed one. But that’s what happens with AMD everytime. It can’t work just perfect, but after installing drivers - it’s kinda more decent. Thanks again! (Sorry for poor english)
After running the ccc2 installer, I tried to access the AMD software but am getting an error which says "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver."
You can if you like, always check the release notes before deciding, they usually post on Twitter. If there is a new game they specifically mention has support then yes go for it. Otherwise stay put.
Hello thanks for the tutorial, a question so now I cant update windows regularly as I used to do before? And my other question is: if there is a new driver do I need to follow the same process again? Downloading ddu and all?
When I restsry into safe Mode it shows again the screen and it says sonething happened with the pin and the screen Just get blocked and I need to restart it again 😣
I tried this and the option for AFMF2 was not there, this fixed that issue but really Lenovo should provide us day 1 updates when the drivers are released
Legion Space should work fine, I even have the FPS counter working under these drivers as shown in the video. Make sure games are full screen. Let me know if you have any other issues.
so how do we prevent windows update after the 5th week passes? ive done the steps and i tried turning the windows update back on and it reverts the amd update automatically downgrading it to the 2023 version of adrenalin 😢
From desktop, Hold start and choose run, type msconfig. Go to Boot tab and check Safe Mode Close, Apply and Restart Your GO will Boot into safe mode Perform DDU steps But before leaving safe mode, do the Msconfig part again but uncheck safe mode.
You don't have to DDU, if you do Windows Update will overwrite the driver. Just sideload new amd driver, uninstall Amd Software then install CC2.exe Amd folder. Restart and you good till next AMD new driver.
I just tried this and when i booted in to safe mode my legion just tranfered me to Windows start screen and says to type my pin code, and it wont let me press anything
I assume you have tried restarting the Legion go and tried again? The success rate is very high for this process so I'm wondering why you're experiencing this. Have you got the stock out of box Windows installed from Lenovo?
@@DeckWizardtransfer data from my current pc. And i accidentally pressed 5 instead of 4 so I restarted the process and now when I press 4 I get transferred to the windows opening screen and I need to type PIN code, but I can’t press anything, (I can restart to normal though)
Which game are you playing? Is Legion Space up to date? What happens when you try to enable AFMF2 with Quality applied? Alternatively does the FPS Counter from Adrenalin work?
Done this following the steps twice now and looks like it’s working, however when I go to open a game it comes up that the driver is out of date and doesn’t actually recognise it! Any ideas ?
Hey man, I just followed your steps and it worked for me but my eafc25 is refusing to start any match now, I can’t get a match to start, it just shuts down the game when it’s time for the match to start up.
That would be interesting, I think it would work. I have a friend recently trying egpus with their Legion GO using these drivers. Please keep us posted and have a great day ❤️
@@DeckWizard Just to say, I had the same issue first time round. I then Restarted DDU, reboot, Uninstalled Space, went to lenovo website download OEM Driver and Space. Reinstall both. Then restarted following this guide. I have disabled updates for 5 weeks. My Legion Space and new 24.10.01 driver from AMD is functioning as intended. It was long winded but did resolve my issues. Feedback though if Space reinstallation works and we can update reddit.
@DeckWizard i tried that but the issue persisted, I ended up using DDU to uninstall the drivers then reinstall drivers from the lenovo support page and it worked like normal again
@@DeckWizardI pressed 9 instead of 4 but it still restarted the system. Then basically here is where I am having trouble 2:22 . The zipped download does not appear
We need to press 4 as specified in the guide. Thats something i haven't encountered or seen before. Can you try unzipping in your normal desktop mode fully and making sure it is there before proceeding to safe mode.

Legion space shows update after i installed driver what doing?
We can ignore that update in Legion Space, the AMD drivers will always be the latest ahead of Lenovos.
@DeckWizard i install the update yes or no? Mušt install or ignore?

Ignore ❤️

My legion space fps counter didn't work again after using the lastest amd driver did you know the causes of this problem?
AFMF2 is not available on all devices? Why not just update your AMD adrenaline? Sorry im new to handhelds.
I tried this and the option for AFMF2 was not there, this fixed that issue but really Lenovo should provide us day 1 updates when the drivers are released
Will legion space work after this? I did this before and legion space won't even open... I need to gamepad mapping to play wow lol
Legion Space should work fine, I even have the FPS counter working under these drivers as shown in the video.
Make sure games are full screen.
Let me know if you have any other issues.
i forgot the ddu install on my legion go what do i do I went straight to the amd adrenalin Install part
Begin the guide from the start. DDU is a very important step.
so how do we prevent windows update after the 5th week passes? ive done the steps and i tried turning the windows update back on and it reverts the amd update automatically downgrading it to the 2023 version of adrenalin 😢
Same issue had to force reset cause it wouldn’t install it back
Does the Radeon overlay work now?
When new drivers come out in the future, so I have to do this process again of uninstalling it or I can go ahead and update it directly?
It's best to perform DDU again so you always start from a clean slate, you will get faster at doing it the more times you do it.
Help my startup for safe mode is different it is a black screen with no means to press 4 for startup safe mode. Need to press arrow keys
From desktop, Hold start and choose run, type msconfig.
Go to Boot tab and check Safe Mode
Close, Apply and Restart
Your GO will Boot into safe mode
Perform DDU steps
But before leaving safe mode, do the Msconfig part again but uncheck safe mode.
@DeckWizard thanks master!
Just finished the update hope you create videos like this for future updates, new subscriber
You don't have to DDU, if you do Windows Update will overwrite the driver. Just sideload new amd driver, uninstall Amd Software then install CC2.exe Amd folder. Restart and you good till next AMD new driver.
