Problems with boot camp for mac drivers#
Unfortunately, for those of us that like to play games through Boot Camp on our Macs, these drivers are a little long in the tooth. For most people, that really isn’t much of an issue. Now that it is early December, these drivers are a little over two months old. The last time these drivers were updated was September 21st.

Instead, this GPU will only run specific Boot Camp drivers that you can download from AMD’s site or through Apple’s Software Update utility.

It seems that AMD (maybe at Apple’s behest?) is not supporting the Radeon R9 M370X GPU in this MacBook Pro with their standard Radeon driver updates. For those of us who run Windows through Boot Camp on this Mac, keeping the graphics driver updated is a little bit of a chore. If you purchased a MacBook Pro Retina 15″ model this year after late May, you may have purchased the model with the AMD Radeon R9 M370X discrete graphics processor. I wish AMD and Apple would update their official drivers more frequently, but at least we still have an option to update unofficially on our own. I have just used the process in this article to update to version 16.9.2 of the Radeon drivers to verify it still works correctly. Update 2: As of October 2016, AMD and Apple have yet to release an updated Radeon driver since April.
I’ve not yet tested them, so proceed at your own risk. Additionally, if you read the comments there are now a couple of sites that claim they have pre-packaged modified drivers available.
However, the steps described below should still work if you want to make sure you have the latest and greatest unsupported driver from AMD for your Radeon R9-based Mac. I recommend you use this supported driver at this time. This updated driver fully supports Rainbow Six Siege and other new games. I have upgraded Boot Camp to version 6, but this cause other issues in Windows and in the end I had to format the windows drive and re-install it from scratch along with the Boot Camp 4 drivers.Update: As of April 2016, AMD has finally released an updated Radeon Boot Camp driver for the 2015 MacBook Pro Retina 15″ and similar iMac Retina models. I have also read that a newer version of Boot Camp would fix the issue. I can then just select the Windows drive in the start up disc control panel and reboot into Windows when I need to.įrom what I have read it's an issue with boot camp not liking the APFS file system Catalina uses. My current work around is to shut down, remove the Windows drive, reboot in to Catalina, select Catalina in the Startup Disk control panel, reboot into Catalina, shut down, re-install the windows drive, start up and it starts up into Catalina again with the Windows disk mounted.
However if I select macOS from the Boot Camp Assistant and reboot the Mac, it always reboots into Windows. However, since upgrading to Catalina, I can still select the Windows drive in the start up disc control panel and reboot into Windows. From El Capitan I could select the Windows drive in the start up disc control panel and reboot into Windows. I previously ran El Capitan instead of Catalina, and with that I had installed in Windows the Boot Camp 4 drivers, which allowed me to select macOS from the Boot Camp Assistant and reboot from Windows into El Capitan.
As I a have the Radeon card I do not have a boot screen until either Catalina has mostly started up or Windows has started to boot, so I cannot change the booting by holding down the Option key.

I have a Mac Pro 3,1 with an ATI Radeon RX580 8GB graphics card, a dosDude Catalina (10.15.6) install on an internal SSD and and a Windows 10 Pro (latest Version and updates) install on an internal HD.īoth macOS and the Windows work fine along with all parts of the Mac.
