Newest NVidia Driver (526.47) makes the game crash after first 3 images again

[Rotbarschbube]

The newest NVidia Driver does not fix any issues for me. Last stable driver version I could find and run the game on was 517.48. If you wanna play the game don't update to 526.47 if you have Win11 and an NVidia Pascal GPU.

I just tried these new drivers after updating them from 522.25. I have no apparent issues so far, just both the main game and DLC needing to redo the shader compilation as expected.
That means that your issues won't affect everyone and their could be more too it?

Are you running win 10 or win 11, because win 11 has a bunch of problems atm, try setting uncharted.exe compatibility to win 7/8, disable VBS too if you are in win 11.

Before this one, the "last stable driver" is 522.25. It works perfectly fine, no idea what you people are doing wrong.

Latest driver available to me is 526.47

If that was true, I'd experience problems. I have none.

I know win 11 2h22 update has a bunch of problems with nvidia especially been reported by a lot of people on nvidia forums and ms forums was still present in 522.25 for some people don't have a clue about latest driver, personally I don't have any issues, I'm still on win 10.

The game crashed on loading.
The driver did not douse, but changed the settings in Windows
Opened Options->Graphics Settings
Disabled "GPU scheduling with hardware acceleration"
The flights have stopped.

Interesting that setting should not be On by default in windows 10, but is On by default in windows 11.

There is an issue known to Nvidia and the developers, with drivers after the 517 and 1000 series.
We are not doing anything wrong.

The issue is happening to users on Pascal series and/or on Windows 11. It's either one of those two or a combination of both. Those points seems to be common ground for those who have crashes.

I've had the opportunity of trying a variety of computers I have access to and none of those with Ampere cards have crashed on startup (although there are reports of other types of crashes but I haven't had the time to experience them yet on other machines except the one with Pascal).

This new 526.47 driver was in development before the game was released (and likewise the 522.25 release was released several weeks before the actual game release) and Nvidia is still working a fix for these issues.

The 522.25 card was meant to add better, more up to date support for the games listed in their driver description, with intention of optimizing the DLSS profiles included in those games. I don't believe much care was had with anything else, and it's often rare that companies who are developing ports will have the opportunity of testing their games in all types of configurations.

There's a possibility they did not run Quality Control testing on Pascal cards internally after 522.25 was released. Either that, or they themselves screwed something up along the way right before release (which is why one of the community peeps has pointed out in this sub-forum that they are looking into it).

Either way, it's likely that a new patch will solve the issue sooner than nvidia's driver will hotfix it.
Mainly because the game starts up correctly with previous drivers but is still prone to crashes during gameplay.

This issue only effects Pascal users. Ya, Nvidia doesn't care of people with 5 year graphic cards, they only care about the new ones.

I'm running on Win11, latest updates installed. I upgraded to the currently newest driver, which crashed the game for me. The 522.25 also didn't work for me. The last stable driver that actually allows me to play the game is 517.48, so personally I'm gonna stick to this version for now.

Tried that, it won't start on a windows version < 10.

Thanks, I'll check if that is enabled and if so disable it and try to launch the game again on the newest driver.
