AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 fixes include addressing corruption issues within Wolfenstein II The New Colossus and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The AMDVLK driver also has a fix for incorrect UV coordinates in the X-Plane 12 flight simulator.

The new AMDVLK 2023.Q3.1 Vulkan driver is available from GitHub. For Linux gamers and most enthusiasts though they find better support and performance using the Mesa RADV Vulkan driver that is backed by Valve, Red Hat, and other developers.
