[PSA] Do NOT Update Your Nvidia GPU Drivers to Version 471.11 OR 471.41 (SOLVED IN 471.68)

[Mr. September]

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED AT DRIVER VERSION 471.68

Many people had problems (severe artifacting) after updating to said driver version. People posted about this a lot (while posting their glitching graphics) but no one bothered to make a post dedicated to specifically warn people so this post's goal is that: Raising awareness until the issue is fixed one way or another.

If you didn't update your Nvidia GPU driver yet and was thinking of updating, DON'T.

If you updated already and have the artifacting issue, you need to roll your driver to an earlier version for the time being. Any driver number prior to 471.11 should work as intended. For reference, I currently have 466.77 and it works without any issues so you can try that version if you updated to 471.11.

As far as I'm aware, they are two different engines. MT Framework was getting old and wasn't fit for what the devs wanted to use it for so they got RE Engine (full name is "Reach for the Moon Engine").

Now that I think of it, they should have called it RME Engine or something becaue everyone knows RE Engine as "Resident Evil Engine" because it fits lol

My name is Manuel and I work for NVIDIA. We were not able to reproduce this corruption. If you don't mind, would users who are seeing this with driver 471.11, fill out the driver feedback form so we know what type of hardware shows this issue (make sure to include the make and models of your monitors).

Also could you take screenshots of your in game graphics settings you are using and email it to [e-mail]? Thank you.

Glad I never update drivers. My motto is; If it works, leave it alone. :slimehappy:

Same. I never update unless I have to. Never had any issues. Yet people that keep everything updated always seem to have issues. Windows updates, graphics updates, whatever other updates.

Well I played some today and luckily I'm getting no issues. Can't remember if I'm on DX11 or DX12 in the settings though, admittedly.

Dodged a gimmicky monster one shot attack there, I think.

[Mr. September]

Probably still an issue. I'm thinking of updating on purpose so I can report it.

Yeah, i get screen flickering after update 471.11, rollback 466.77 and 10h play with no issue. F*ck Nvidia.
Does anyone know the best driver for gtx 1060, GTX 10xx ? My GPU automatically OC. Not sure if the cause is Windows or Driver or Mainboard boot ?

Yo, dont forget to report the bug to nvidia so that it will actually get fixed

The newest Nvidia drivers had me crashing and all kinds of weird glitches. Went back to a previous driver ans all is good.

I have exactly this problem. Strange texture bugs and game crash with Err 12.

Got evidence on my end. Going to report to Nvidia through their form and post videos as well.

i got the evga 1660 super and I have that problem only in one area of ​​Astera, otherwise the game runs perfectly, anyway restarting the game fixes a couple of hours at least for me

From what I see, it's certain particle effects that get glitchy. Notable examples are Scoutflies (yellow ones) and some rain effects (saw it in Castle Schrade but Ancient Forest rain seems fine).

Already reported it in Nvidia's form in a detailed manner so now we wait. I did my part!
