How to get in touch

We listen to feedback as much as possible, so keep raising issues on Github if you have any feature requests or think you may have found a bug.

While you can still get in touch with us via your AMD representative, @GPUOpen on Twitter or @GPUOpen@mastodon.gamedev.place we have added an additional, more direct channel of feedback. By using this invitation link, you can join our Discord server and chat with the RPS team directly. We are happy to receive any feedback and may adjust our prioritization according to frequently requested features.
