- Nvidia’s new 572.16 driver seems to be inflicting crashes throughout a number of video games, together with different system points
- Enabling Body Era in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 causes BSoDs
- A number of customers throughout Nvidia’s boards, Steam, and Reddit have voiced the identical frustrations
It is no secret that Nvidia‘s new driver that brings DLSS 4 help for a number of video games is an unimaginable addition for all RTX GPU customers, most notably for improved picture high quality in DLSS efficiency mode – however when you’ve up to date, you really would possibly wish to roll again your driver for now.
Primarily based on a number of consumer studies on Nvidia’s boards and Reddit, Staff Inexperienced’s newest 572.16 driver is inflicting loads of points, together with crashing video games and restarting PCs throughout a number of titles – with some even leading to a Blue Display of Demise. I can corroborate these studies – on a number of events (after reinstalling the brand new driver and guaranteeing there have been no different system instabilities), making an attempt to modify on Body Era in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 triggered repeated cases of the dreaded BSoD.
Whereas it was extra frequent in Marvel‘s Spider-Man 2, the identical occurred when making an attempt to launch Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6, with rolling again my drivers left as the one repair. This was already suspicious, and the studies recommend these points could certainly stem from Nvidia’s new driver.
The identical challenge has been mentioned by some customers within the Steam Neighborhood boards, additional indicating that enabling Body Era causes affected PCs to restart. It isn’t precisely clear why that is taking place, however it seems that it could possibly be a mix of points with Nixxes’ PC port of Insomniac’s Spider-Man sequel (no shock there…) and the brand new driver. There was the same case with God of Conflict: Ragnarok at launch earlier than a patch, which resulted in customers’ video games crashing in the course of the first encounter with Thor.
What is the answer for now?
If you happen to’re fortunate, you could not have run into these points even with the newest driver put in – however it could be most secure to roll again drivers for now, or on the very least look ahead to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and different affected video games to obtain one other patch. I have to stress that the BSoDs principally occurred when making an attempt to allow Body Era throughout the new PC port, so different video games could be secure from this challenge.
Even when reverting to the earlier driver, you may nonetheless probably face the occasional crash in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (regardless of a current hotfix launched to deal with this). Happily, my system hasn’t been uncovered to the litany of points some others have talked about – however contemplating how a lot has been documented by some troubled customers, I would say you need to wait till Staff Inexperienced releases a brand new driver, particularly since not all video games can make the most of the brand new DLSS 4 Override function but.
