Outdated video card driver message (new patch)

[MichaelMKenny]

Every time I launch the game with the new path I get this message, "Warning! You appear to be running on an outdated video card driver."

I'm on the latest nvidia 355.82 driver (the new one for Metal Gear Solid V). That is the latest, right?

There is 355.84 (oculus rift developer driver), is that what it's looking for?

[Sergeant Scryed]

Got the same thing.

[ZTylerDurden]

Same here.

And my performance is getting rocked, might I add...

Might be just an error, but maybe Nvidia will release another driver soon (and RS/WB were building the patch on that driver). Then again, maybe not.

[Kaldaien]

I think they pre-maturely released this build. It's very likely operating under the assumption that a GameReady build (always ships on Tuesdays) was going to be out. That would mean they shipped it a good 4 days too soon.

Oh, this is a good opportunity - thanks for all your hard work on Batman: AK Kaldaien, like really.

[MichaelMKenny]

Glad it's not just me :) Hopefully there will be a new driver to go with this patch!

[Napoleon Zitrone]

Ok, so I upgraded my Nvidia drivers to 355.98 today and sadly this bug is still active.

[Kaldaien]

Yeah, you can't expect anything in this game to work logically, that'd be too easy :P

Who knows what DLL they are checking the version of for that, but it's clearly not a working system. NvAPI would be the preferable way to check driver version.

ignore it, it's a cosmetic bug only.


From the PCEngine.ini" file

under [Engine.GameEngine]
RecommendedDriverAMD=15.201.1151.0
RecommendedDriverNVidia=10.18.13.5581

These are the version it was told to think are the latest. Any version # found that doesn't match this will cause it to (incorrectly) say the driver is out of date.

Thanks for your replies

So need the add the number version? (I have AMD)

[Kaldaien]

It wouldn't be particularly helpful if the version number had to match that. As far as I know, one of those numbers has to be >= some number Rocksteady came up with. I can't say which they're using for that purpose, because in a version number like X.Y.Z.W, clearly one vendor resets W all the time and the other doesn't :P

I'd just set everything to 0.0.0.0 and avoid the problem.

You could, but I wouldn't bother because this is cosmetic only and causes absolutely zero impact on the game's operation.

That or simply removing/commenting the lines out might do it as well, but again, I wouldn't bother. Cosmetic only, doesn't hurt anything. You don't even need to click a confirmation box to banish it or anything.

Plus, this file is likely to get updated with semi-frequency in the future anyway which means you'll have to continually muss with it. (you could also set it read only, but that might cause problems with future patching/updates).

I'd like to point out, that dialog boxes popping up while trying to stream a game in Steam In-Home Streaming is more than a nuisance. Sometimes, you cannot play the game when that happens. Then you have to walk to the other end of your house, turn on a monitor, deal with a big old hassle.

I know only a minority of people use In-Home Streaming, but dialog boxes are evil when you do use it :P
