Water glitch on newest Nvidia driver

[librious]

I just updated my drivers before starting to play this game for the first time. I'm doing the snow festival mission and the water in the garden is glitching like crazy. I saw this was fixed in a previous version of the drivers, so why is mine still glitching when I just updated it?

After using both Nvidia and AMD for several years, Nvidia never fails to fk up something with every driver update whether it's a beta feature no longer working or some graphical issues. Just revert back and it'll be fine, re update after the next driver is released and hopefully it'll be fixed.

I can confirm it's the Nvidia driver, nothing to do with the game itself.
Unfortunately, your options are to revert back to the previous driver, or just ignore it until the next update in about 2 weeks.

411 here and i got it too, but its not a new driver.

[.: D :.]

Not really surprised to see the glitch back... as this is clearly not a driver glitch and it is more of a game glitch; nvidia drivers previous version just found a way around it, but the glitch is still there regardless....

Probably the better solution will be for the game developer to actually fix the glitch in the game... but who knows if they will even try to fix it... best case scenario is for the next nvidia drivers version to actually include the workaround once more...

Nvidia Driver 418.81 is broken.
It will crash when trying to watch full-screen video (YT, Prime, any streaming service, so far).
But as for Hitman 2, I have not noticed any graphical glitches with the new driver.

...that's now how any of this works.
If it works on the consoles, works on other graphics cards, and worked on this graphics card before the update, the assumption really has to start with the graphics card driver being the issue. If it was a game glitch, everyone would see it.

Under the covers, the water graphics are just math formulas. The math doesn't change based on the graphics cards, what changes is how the graphics card reads and processes the math formulas.

We also know that the previous issues were with the graphics card related, not the game (I haven't confirmed the current iteration specifically, but I assume it's still the case based on it being caused by the driver update).

Can confirm that the water is glitched on the latest nvidia drivers.

Keep in mind, the water glitch only happens on the legacy maps... so everyone not using the nvidia drivers version 417 will probably will be able to see the glitch... for some reason, it doesn't happen with the new missions, only the legacy maps (Paris, Sapienza, Marrakesh, Hokkaido, Thailand and Colorado)...

Nope, Hawks' Bay also has the same issue in the waterpool, but it is less noticable and sometimes you have to move around to make it happen. On legacy maps it is easier to notice, like in Hokkaido.
And, lo and behold, it started happening after driver update (418.81), so it's not a coincidence.
