I upgraded to AMD driver 20.7.2 and while I now can get it to run with my RX580's and Vega56, I'm having the exact same problem as batsonxl - if I have straps set to 1 or whichever straps I'd previously used, the whole rig crashes the moment it tries to applies the straps. If I set it to 0, it will start up and run, but probably with around a 35% reduction in hashrate as the straps aren't being applied. Hopefully straps can get working again for AMD's? Thanks

With -straps 0 do you have accepted shares? Do you have shares that didn't pass check on CPU? ("got incorrect share" message in log file)

About crashing with -straps 1. The miner uses heavily protected custom kernel-mode driver to apply straps and it looks like it's not compatible with new amd gpu drivers. I think the only realistic solution for me is to use some 3rd party driver to apply straps instead of default miner's driver. Still this will require a lot of researching and therefore time.



With -straps 0 yes I get accepted shares, but I would say about 1/2 -2/3 are "incorrect share". I've also tried stock clock settings instead of overclock since my OC's were set using the original straps, but even at stock clocks I still get mostly "incorrect shares" so my effective hash is probably 1/3 of what it used to be. Is this something you think you'll be able to get working, or should I look at using a different miner for my AMD's?

I see, I'm working on solution to get rid of incorrect shares for AMD Gpus. If you have many incorrect shares for your AMD Gpu and some other miner works well for you,  of course you should use it. When I'll solve the problem I will release new version of my mod (probably as separate release for AMD Gpus because Nvidia Gpus work fine already) and you will be able to test it and decide what is best for you.
