AMD will fix driver issues for DX9 games despite claims to the otherwise

At one point the story was AMD was not going to bother fixing the drivers that was causing issues with DX9 games:

AMD ended 2017 with its year-end mega driver release, the Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition (17.12), which introduced a large number of new features. The drivers, incidentally, also inadvertently caused bugs with some 10-year old games running on the older DirectX 9 API.  AMD responded on its official support forums that it is "unlikely to devote any valuable engineering resources to this issue."

Among the games affected, old as they may seem, are AAA blockbusters, including "C&C3 Tiberium Wars," "C&C3 Kane's Wrath," "C&C Red Alert 3," "C&C Red Alert 3 Upising," "C&C4 Tiberian Twilight," "Battle for Middle Earth 1-2," and "The Witcher Enhanced Edition." AMD blames its inability to fix these issues to outdated API models. The company's full statement reads "This title is from 2007, so we are unlikely to devote any valuable engineering resources to this issue, which is most likely caused by outdated API modules."

However an Terry Makedom, the director of AMD software strategy, on Twitter confirmed that there will indeed be a fix and that it was just a human error that led to the AMD employee on the forums saying otherwise:

That is not true. We will for sure fix this bug with SAGE engine games in an upcoming hotfix. https://t.co/EEW42GTA73
