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?

@EA_Leeuwi literally downgraded my NVidia driver even further - i pushed it back to the October 2022 release, and the game works just fine. I have no idea what the OP is even talking about, the game DOES NOT FORCE you to update the drivers.
I'm going to keep pushing it back further and further until the game or EA app says - nope, wont work.
DM Me if you would like to see a screenshot of the October Driver release and the game running.
@AOD_CapStar362, thanks for this. I also never got this message. Sadly I have no idea what caused the message to pop-up for OP.
@EA_Leeuwfurther diving into it, it actually does, but its not forcing the LATEST driver, its forcing 528.02 at the minimum, but i know now why.
there are 3 major manifest/library compiled language changes from 527.56 to 528.02
Battlefield just happens to rely on those Manifest/Library changes. all these older games @KiRiASU is speaking of, do not.
So KiRiASU and @MackTKau im sorry, but there is no way around this. You can either find a suitable second best driver for Destiny2 and your 3080, or you can pick and choose which games to stop playing.
The factual stand point is, BF is relying on these newer Driver manifest libraries - it CANNOT reliably work with the older ones. And it would cause an even BIGGER crap storm of support requests for EA And DICE to handle so the simple choice is - Mandate a Minimum Driver Revision. and Contrary to your statement "No Other game does this"
I can actually name NUMEROUS titles that ABSOLUTELY mandate this. Especially back in the 20 Series GPU releases when RTX Came about, as driver packages prior to RTX did not even support RTX, and cause massive amounts of problems with game titles from then and on going.
So yes, this IS a thing within the gaming industry that Mandatory Minimum Revision numbers are required.
@KiRiASU- now hold on - now you say you are playing BF with 512.95? So now you are lying about the fact BF Stopped you from playing unless you updated, but now you say you are playing?
Now I am going to call * to ALL of your claims.
