By Jonathan Leack

Just Cause 3 has officially released. While most buyers are celebrating their arrival in its massive virtual world, some are expressing frustration with poor performance.

Unsurprisingly, many of those affected by severe performance issues and bizarre bugs have one thing in common: an AMD graphics card.

It didn't take long for Avalanche Studios to confirm that there are known issues with AMD graphics cards in Just Cause 3's PC version. The following was posted by a member of the studio:

We’re working with AMD to fix the issue via an upcoming driver update – to ensure you don’t experience these issues yourself please make sure you are using the latest beta driver available here

One of the known issues is texture fragmentation. One user by the name of KURUPTPANDA shared a screenshot of what it looks like. See below.

Another user by the name of GreenMachineIII confirmed that in his case installing the beta driver shared by the Avalanche Studio employee resolved his problems.  If you have an AMD graphics card and want to try and fix the issue yourself, try the list of steps he shared:
