Nvidia driver crashing after 2/20 update
I've been having consistent crashes since launch, but usually the only thing in event viewer is the application itself crashing. Since the patch today I register a driver crash and recovery before the actual game crashes. Anyone else getting this?

Had them on the Low preset too, since it happened on Ultra and then Medium when I turned it down after the first crash.

I'm using Nvidia as well and it seems to be working for the most part, I'm using driver version (game ready) 551.23, looks like they got an updated driver but I haven't installed it yet. :cupup:

Ah I'm on the latest (551.52) so maybe I'll try rolling them back.

I am also getting crashes all of a sudden after updating graphics drivers yesterday. On 551.61

I've been crashing since I bought this game with nvidia drivers. I've updated to several of the newest drivers, including the one that came out less than a week ago 551.61. Wish there was some kind of update about this other than it being a "known issue"

Can confirm, I also run that version and no issues.

I have been having really weird inconsistency with nvidia drivers recently so I’ve been holding off on updating until a few new ones get released.

doing research, turning off steam overlay, windowed/windows full screen + disabling image scaling might work, reinstalling game.

going to do several tests to avoid my pc hard crashing.

Same, I have tried just about every driver version available but the most play time I've been able to get recently is about 3 seconds of play time before it crashes

I'm quite a bit behind on my nvidia drivers, but never had crashing issues until recently (a week give or take) Now I crash every 15-20 minutes, sometimes multiple times in one game. I'm gunna update drivers to the latest and report back.

Mine only crashes when I used undervolting in the MSI Afterburner, I am currently on the latest NVIDIA driver.

I'm going to try this tomorrow because I remember someone saying undervolting their GPU solved their crashing issues and now its supposively the opposite. I just want this game to work. I'm so sick of not being able to enjoy it while my friends play it.

Edit: I was going to try this but I'm now two states away from home. So more experimenting will have to wait.

To be honest, i dont know, been crashing pretty consistently especially on the longer missions

Any updates on this yet? I found the latest driver was absolute crap! It was full of stuttering etc so I also rolled back to 551.23 which does seem a lot more stable and gives far better performance! I just wondered if they had sorted it or made a hotfix?

More than likely it's on their end, there's only so much we can do to fix the issue temporarily, unfortunately will have to wait for a hotfix/patch in a week or so.
