AMD Driver problem

**Substance 3D Painter 12.0 – Crash on launch after AMD Adrenalin 26.5.1 driver update**

**System specs:**
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5
- OS: Windows 11
- AMD Driver: Adrenalin Edition 26.5.1
- Substance 3D Painter: version 12.0.3

**Issue description:**
Substance 3D Painter 12.0.3 fails to launch after updating to AMD Adrenalin drivers 26.5.1. The application either crashes immediately on startup or shows an error and closes without loading the UI.

The same issue was already confirmed in Blender 5.1 (tracked at projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/158350), where the root cause was identified as AMD removing the ROCm 6 runtime from driver 26.5.1. Since Substance Painter relies on similar AMD GPU compute/Vulkan infrastructure, it is likely affected by the same underlying change.

I also experienced two full system freezes/BSODs on the same day I installed the 26.5.1 drivers, which further suggests driver instability.

**Steps to reproduce:**
1. Install AMD Adrenalin 26.5.1 (clean install / factory reset)
2. Launch Substance 3D Painter 12.0.3
3. Application crashes on startup

**Workaround tested:**
Rolling back to AMD Adrenalin 26.3.1 resolved the issue for Blender. I have not yet tested it with Substance Painter, but based on community reports for similar apps, the same rollback is expected to help.

**Request:**
Please investigate compatibility with AMD Adrenalin 26.5.1 and provide an official fix or updated build of Substance 3D Painter that supports the new ROCm 7 / Vulkan runtime shipped with this driver version.

Thank you.
