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
the very next driver - the initial September release 517.48 - the game would not launch. but the fact that im running on 526.47 at this point, just to show it WILL run on slightly older drivers negates the entire argument presented.
How or why when i tried 526.47 and it launched the game is beyond me, maybe the check is badly written, because it clearly says 528.02 as a minimum. take that up with DICE - also, i found some driver notes that explain why your 512.95 no longer works - the driver itself has de-gradated software libraries that the latest patch for 2042 cannot work with, those were installed with 528.02 as fully compatible. however, the fact i can get 526.47 to work just fine, tells me those same libraries are in even slightly older drivers than the minimum requisite.
okay so it wont run your beloved 512.95 - then you have a choice to make - find the second best driver that works on all your games, or take a loss and accept the fact, you played much longer than the refund rules allow for.
or you can go to Console and not have to worry about drivers period, that is the very nature of PC's - NOTHING is universal. Something will ALWAYS have an issue with another thing.
So, yes - you are right, 512.95 does not work.
I am also right that it is not the NEWEST drivers,
either way
@AOD_CapStar362 Either way, I know that driver 512.95 works perfectly fine with the most recent version of BF 2042. Same solution as with BF5, by the way... So you and EA/Dice are wrong.
- @KiRiASU so you have been lying this entire time - if you are currently playing BF2042 with 512.95 you have made up all these claims that it stops you.
so again, im gonna call BS to all of your claims now.

I didn't say I'm playing BF 2042 on driver 512.95 because the game suddenly lets me play with this version. I said, someone found a workaround for BF 5. And this workaround is working with BF 2042, too. Because EA did the same thing with BF 5 back then... And I knew EA/Dice won't help anyone here, so I needed to find a solution by myself. To make my 90 € purchase working again, you know. Business as usual with these devs nowadays, I'm afraid.
- @KiRiASU well hell, if i even knew that work around existed, i would have pointed you to it.
but hey, you solved your own problem, good for you, want a cookie? - @KiRiASU i understand far more than you think i do, ill give you that.
Now, putting all the past squabbling behind. what is this work around? ive been looking around for it..... care to share that?
