Mirrored G5s with Zink enabled in X-Plane 12...

[Near76]

Hello!  I am getting the same mirrored look on my G5s (pic attached) that others were getting on the G500s.  From what I can tell on the forum there is/was a fix for this to interoperate with Zink.  I am running AMD Adrenaline 23.5.2 with RX 6950 XT and the latest G5 software.  Any newer AMD release past what I have is unusable as it gives me Vulkan memory full errors in XP and my framerate goes from 70 to 8 fps.  I also read in the 2.1 release for the G5 that Zink rendering is supported, so maybe it is a config issue on my side?  Zink doubles my framerate to the 70s, so I'd love to get this working, thanks!

Updated after further investigating..

You will need to upgrade AMD driver to the one released 5 days ago.

Thank you.  When I upgrade to the latest AMD release, x-plane goes from 70fps to 8fps and I eventually get a Vulkan memory overflow error.  Is there a setting/config I have to update to get the latest version working?

You could try to delete the shader cache and between major driver updates I often use DDU to ensure a clean and healthy install.

Thank you.  I did delete shader cache, but haven’t tried DDU, but will give it a try.

Ok...deleted shader cache and tried DDU...still have the same issue as above.  With the latest AMD release the mirroring issue with the G5s has been fixed, but not the frame rate issue.  I've attached my log file in case anyone can help me interpret what is going on...thank you!

I also see these 7 lines repeatedly in the log...just no idea what's going on:
