Did you really need to force us into a Nvidia driver update?
Come on, what could possibly require 2042 at this stage to need a driver update first?
Forum Discussion
@Anaghya I've played all of those and I usually update my driver once or twice a year if they actually feature a performance increase or a driver for a game I'm playing and I've never had a game arbitrarily refuse to start because of my driver being out of date. Also here we're talking about a game that came out a year and a half ago, not a brand new game requiring a driver that has the game profile in it.

The driver was out for 3 weeks so this game build more than likely used that driver and there is something in there that was not in the driver you had installed. They can't prevent the game from not launching if you are using old dependencies. Could they have put something in the patch notes, sure but the only complaint right now that EA and DICE need to see is the lack of a server browser.

Well, they are done adding Specialists, there is only one more new map coming, so if the same dev team continues to work on the game thru S5, there is a chance that something like that gets added to the dev queue.
Up to this point, there was no time to add something like that because of the seasonal deployment work and patches. Once that slows down there just might be a chance at seeing one added because right now it is the worst gaming experience ever, which is hard to fathom. I have wasted 20+ minutes (almost daily) joining and quitting the MM queue either because I am waiting for players in Assassin Squad or because the map loading was Hourglass. That is just ridiculous that we have to go thru that process in 2023. My ALT+F4 keys are the most used keys on my keyboard.
