you can install your driver without Geforce experience ... and have no problem or just disable geforce experience Shadow play

Nvidia said no fix is planned until the next Major Driver Branch and its still a bug in 362.00

i used DDU to remove my old Nvidia driver in safe mode

you can get it here from this link
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

then when i installed the 361.75 driver i selected custom install , i only installed
1. the video Driver
2. HDMI audio
3.PhysX

again i did not install Geforce experience , or any of the 3d Vision software and chose perform a clean install

best advice , stick with older Nvidia drivers until they fix the bugs or disable Nvidia Shadow Play

you can get Decembers drivers from here
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
let the page load and click on the search button after selecting your GPU and OS version

again PLEASE report all problems with this driver to Nvidia


again older Nvidia drivers can be found here http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

last Known working driver was 361.43 from December 2015

then when i install a new driver.... i select custom install ,and i only install
1. the Video Driver
2. HDMI audio ( so i can watch a movie on my 40 in HDTV ..\ my second screen )
3.PhysX

have alot less problems that way ...

Driver 361.91 :: Can't confirm 3 or 4, but Blood Dragon is still busted with Shadow Play turned on ... reasonable to assume 3 and 4 is still busted. Game works with shadow play disabled.

[-=SOF=-WID99]

yea i just saw that on the Nvidia forums , some one else said Shadow play is still breaking the game , so i guess thats why there is no mention of them fixing it in the release notes in 361.91 ..its still BUSTED

361.91 has the same error see the link in rthe post right above yours

it says

Having shadowplay on crashes some Ubisoft games (i.e. Assassin's Creed III, IV, Far Cry IV...). The crash in AC happens after the initial "made by a team of multicultural folk" message. WHQL 361.43 worked just fine, but 361.75 was also affected. I'm using GV-N970WF3OC-4GD (Gigabyte GTX 970) with Windows 10 Enterprise.

[-=SOF=-WID99]

i just opened another support tickt with Nvida ..still no reply ..♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Nvida fix it !\
or warn users that geforce experience does BREAK GAMES .... if you install that crap ware

[-=SOF=-WID99]

still no replay from Nvidia on when this shadowplay bug will be fixed

[CursedPanther]

Am I the only one here having a feeling that NVIDIA is focusing all its energy on the release of Far Cry Primal now?

Not that I really play FC4 anymore, but I still feel bad about a game I once much enjoy is no longer works properly.

[-=SOF=-WID99]

no the recent driver bug affects more games then just FarCry 4 , i saw posts on the nvidia forums it also affects Civ5 , Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and possibly more .. the fix is either do not install Geforce Experience with your driver , or Disable Nvidia shadow play in geforce experience settings

AMD 16.11 Hotfix Drivers also can cause the game to crash on launch as well if you have the AMD gameing Evolved in game overlay enabled from what others have reported and that issue is also noted in the release notes for that Driver .

dunno what's up with Nvidia and why they have not corrected the problem yet , as from the links i provided Manuel Guzman from Nvidia did post on the Nvidia forums that yes they did replicate the problem back in the 361.75 driver , and that Driver was a mess for me anyway , from installing Nvidia optimus on my desktop system , and also that other bug where it treated my Asus Strix GTX 960 as a removeable device , you have to wonder how they are getting these drivers past WHQL testing

i also saw a post today where a user benchmarked the recent drivers in Cuda Z and found the new drivers are acually slower and performing worse then the December 361.43 drivers

Man this is really a pain in the dairy-air, I uninstall 361.75 and now I have to back up again. Plus the record function on G-F-Exp has stopped working since I installed 361.91 // yes it was a clean install // has is going back to 361.54...

[-=SOF=-WID99]

again all you need to do is disable Geforce experience shadow play .. if you want to use the current driver .. Decenmbers Driver version 361.43 did not have the bug .. only drivers past that one

[Oldman1]

Is there a FIX----for this problem

引用自 -=SOF=-WID99：

people still have this problem and are not seeing my post about it .. YES THE 361,75 Nvidia driver will cause FarCry 4 to crash if you have Geforce Experience and shadow Play installed

Hmmmm.... Thanks, for your input WID-99, I give try unistall GeForce Exp, and reinstalling the new driver 362.91 before checking out the HOT FIX you posted.... I"m really, really getting Tooooo Old For this stuff...

Well now, I tried that and it was still stopping FRYCRY 3 & 4 down before they even got started. So G-Froce Exp, is now History. Did get a error code first try of installing 361.91, installer could not continue. anyway... now IT IS WORKING, FarCry on ULTRA setting will all the Nividia bells and whistle turned on, 60+ fps, on two GTX770.....No over clocking, running a 4770K w/ 16GB ram.

i just gave up on the New drivers and went back to 347.52 ..game works alot better ..

and i no longer have any of the other problems like the remove GPU or the Nvidia optimus stuff installing with my driver ..nvidia needs to release better drivers .. is the bottom line
