Sadly 4.1c does not support 19.1.1, as it gives the Unknown OpenCL version error and suffers a hashrate loss because of it.
-clkernel 3 mode does not even work with it. ( clSetKernelArg (-49) )
I have 19.1.1 installed and latest version of miner works normal. RX 580 8 Gb Windows 10.

Code:
That`s strange... Well, I guess I can go back to 18.12.3 until we get a fix.

   In your log we can see that you have two versions of the drivers mixed up. The 19.1.1 are recognized properly but there are others too (probably "leftovers" from the previous driver version). You should use DDU to completely remove the drivers and then install 18.5.1 or other drivers besides 18.12.x and 19.1.x, which seems to cause problems.


Thanks, I always use DDU, but it seem the update to 1809 switched back Window's auto-driver-download option. Switching it off and installing a clean 19.1.1 after a DDU solved the problem.
