nvidia driver 566.45 hotfix crash

Nvidia driver 566.45 hotfix has  a DX12 crash at start up .

Its unfortunate that this driver is very good for everything else and most of the holiday event in BF2042 I've  missed due to this.

I'm used to drivers having diffrent performance but to be catastrophic to the whole game is rare so some feed back would be nice if possible.

    @sidearm7 Unfortunately they don't seem to care, many people have this problem and don't solve it. There are some "smart people" here on the forum who keep commenting as if something would solve the problem, when this is a problem with the game itself.
  • @sidearm7Where did ya download this driver.
    At nvidia website there is only 566.36
    Release Date:Thu Dec 05, 2024

    Cheers

    Ya did download a beta then undo and install the 566.36 studio driver

    The GeForce Hotfix driver is our way to trying to get some of these fixes out to you more quickly. These drivers are basically the same as the previous released version, with a small number of additional targeted fixes. The fixes that make it in are based in part on your feedback in the Driver Feedback threads and partly on how realistic it is for us to quickly address them. These fixes (and many more) will be incorporated into the next official driver release, at which time the Hotfix driver will be taken down.

  • I told Nvidia ppl that EA don't care

    Hope they lose football rights at some point

    Anyway I just won't play their game until it's fixed

    That will be hurting EA more than me

    Every other game is solid apart from their stupid app so don't see why I have to uninstall the latest nvidia hotfix which fixes other game issues
