In FULL SCREEN games red goes blue
I have vega 8 too
The driver version from Microsoft is 23.20.815.5888 (compare to current in AMD control panel or device manager). I heard the latest MSFT ones were quite good.

But...
What I did was I updated my BIOS from Product Support. The latest version was 1.08 from June 28, 2018.
I am currently using Acer Aspire 3 A315-41G-R4BW Ryzen 5 2500u with Radeon 535 2GB DVRAM.
Hope this this solution is not too late for others...
Anyway, happy gaming everybody!

Just a quick research on the internet:
AMD APUs with the Raven Ridge architecture are just going to get quarterly updates. Meaning AMD will only update it every 3 months.
And AMD recommends getting driver software directly from the manufacturers.
Since version 18.x.x of the Adrenaline Software is still in beta, if you want stability, stick to the default VGA drivers found in Acer Product Support.
If you want the latest and greatest (but I highly doubt that you'll gonna use the laptop for super instensive gaming such as Battlefield V [you might want to build a gaming rig]), there are guides on Youtube on how to update drivers manually using the Radeon RX Vega Desktop drivers.
I just use my machine mainly for research and thesis purposes, and light e-sports gaming on the side.
Good luck!
Unfortunately these are the most up to date drivers we have and are the only ones our units support. Whilst these will inevitably be updated in the future, we do not currently have a schedule, or time scale for when this will be. Typically they are supported for at least 6 years which Trading Standards deem as being the life span of the product. Often the drivers are updated for longer than this period however.
I'm sorry that I am unable to provide you with the answer you would have liked today, but I thank you for taking the time to contact us with your query.
Many thanks

Thanks for asking Acer Support for the issue.
It's the only way they'll get the message.
