AMD Releases Ryzen Chipset Driver 8.02.18.557
AMD has released Ryzen Chipset Driver version 8.02.18.557, a maintenance update focused on bug fixes and restoring a couple of components that went missing in a previous package. Specifically, support for the AMS Mailbox driver and the S0i3 filter driver are back, both needed for power management and system communication on supported Ryzen platforms. A few known issues are still present. Users on chipset installer version 7 can't directly roll back to version 6 or older. If you need to do that, you'll have to uninstall the newer installer first, delete the Qt_Dependencies folder, and then install the older package.
Other minor fixes include driver names showing up in English on non-English operating systems, occasional failures when installing or upgrading the Ryzen PPKG component, and some compatibility issues with the AMS and S0i3 filter drivers on non-English OS environments.

With a friendly smile,

I don't need to provide that. However, you are free to organize the necessary input yourself. You are referring to the “sloppy” driver I mentioned, right? Right? As I wrote, this has been known for some time. If this has escaped your attention, that is your problem, not mine. The chipset driver is a relevant part, so it must be ensured in advance that it meets expectations. As far as the incompetence of the programmers is concerned, at least from my point of view, there is no other opinion to be had. As already mentioned, the problem has been around for a long time!
At Intel and/or NVIDIA, there would be another storm of the finest kind. Only AMD is allowed to misbehave again, and anyone who addresses this must dress appropriately.
By the way, I use AMD myself.
With a friendly smile,
Fred.
