@andyrpsmith: Thank you for the update - under normal circumstances, you should not really need to modify that internal preference. As you mentioned that you still do not see the XML file, I have sent you a private message with some other instructions - could you please try those, and see if it helps?

Many thanks for the PM message, the file is still not created. PM replied to. Many thanks Andy

...I still get a hang on my 9900k system if I set decode with amd and render qsv to an fhd frame with the 4k hvec version of Red Car.

Fixed it my updating my amd radeon vii driver from enterprise q3 to adrenalin 20.9.1. The release notes make specific reference to correcting an hevc decoding issue.

I just updated to build 334. Now my when I try to load any Izotope plugins (Ozone 9, RX 7 or RX 8 suites) Vegas freezes. Everything worked great before the update. Any one else face similar issues or any one know what I can do to fix it? Thanks

Build 334 "AMD drive update" still doesn't work with my AMD Fury-X GPU - the build notes claim 334 implemented AMD but it's not working for me - how are others doing?

jeffagwm, no issues at all on my end with Izotope suites with this new Vegas update. Try reinstalling them and then refresh your VST folder within Vegas Preferences.

It's not working for me either with my Vega 64 card...

My secondary system is an old i7 6 cores 4.5ghjz 4930K cpu with old AMD card R9 290x. I own two very different system configuration. VP18 perform great, passing thru every projects so far. I always update Windows 10 when I am prompt to do and I do so without any issue. I also don't pick and choose my gpu driver, this and that BS. I let Windows do it for me. Over the last 10 years, I only encounter 1 time Windows 10 update caused the GPU usage dropping performance in Vegas . Other than that 1 time. I had nothing bad but all goodies with Windows update and auto gpu driver selection.

My 980x system has a Vega 64 and the driver update screen hangs trying to connect if my ethernet cable is plugged into my router. Internet connect works fine for everything else like getting Windows and Vegas version updates. Not a problem on my 9900k with a Radeon VIII. Same amd drivers, Win10 2004, and all updates all around.
