Rendered error - Driver out of date

[Fallout]

Since the new PATCH 4 I'm having now an error when starting the game.
I'm on Nvidia driver 566.14, and gives me an box when launching the game, saying rendered error, driver is out of date.
Anyone knows what is the minimum driver version to be able to work now?
I was able to launch the game fine before this patch...

same issue for me - updated to 566.36 which let me play, however the performance was way worse than on 566.14 at least 20 fps less and felt awful. Don't want to update to the latest nvidia drivers too as all the feedback i've read has indicated real bad stability.

Thank you for the feedback m8. At least now we know the minimum Nvidia driver needed to run. I don't want the new drivers also, the 572.xx have alot problems and performance issues.

Same problem. Before the game worked perfectly. (2 days ago) Now - Render setup error. I have everything new and updated and I don't want to download anything and mess up my PC. It's just a way to cram the latest crap into systems. They just have to try it out somewhere. Nobody cares anymore that you spent a lot of money on the game.

i finally found a way: i've rolled back the game to the update 3 through steam's console and magically all come back to work perfectly

For those who doesn't know how to revert to UPDATE 3 (because GPU Driver incompatibility):
First open STEAM console press (window+R) key, then execute this: steam://open/console

Then on STEAM Console download this 3 depots:
download_depot 2677660 2677662 4053064344217040171
download_depot 2677660 2677661 5649618929513161339
download_depot 2677660 2830501 5687220090347415343

(when it finish downloading an depot should give an message, just wait... one of this depots are big more than 100GB).

Now go to your STEAM instalation folder and check the files on steamapps\content\
"should be a folder there" inside that folder will be 3 with depots, cut what is inside of each one, and replace it on The Great Circle folder where you installed the game.
Cheers!

Thank you so much for this, it works like a charm. Hesitant to update my drivers from 566.14, so this instruction literally is a saving grace. Hopefully no game updates coming soon :)

EDIT: aaaand they released update few hours later. xD

I still have GeForce Game Ready driver 566.14 on it and don't plan to change to 566.36.
A downgrade from upate 4 to update 3 is not necessary.

Just change only 1 line. ^^
steamapps\common\The Great Circle\base vulkan_driver_versions.json

line 4
"lowest" : { "major" : 566, "minor" : 36, "patch" : 0 },
change to
"lowest" : { "major" : 566, "minor" : 14, "patch" : 0 },

Game then starts without complaining that the driver is too old.
