One month has passed since the AMDVLK 2024.Q3.3 driver release while today has brought the AMDVLK 2024.Q4.1 release with a few new Vulkan API extensions.

AMDVLK 2024.Q4.1 adds support for the VK_EXT_depth_clamp_control, VK_EXT_fragment_shader_interlock, and VK_MESA_image_alignment_control extensions. The VK_MESA_image_alignment_control extension is prominent for Linux gamers in that extension is used by the VKD3D Direct3D-on-Vulkan layering software.

Among the Vulkan driver bug fixes are ranging from Vulkan CTS test failures to corruption seen within the game 7 Days To Die.
