Re: NVIDIA OVERLAY CRASHING TO DESKTOP

I removed 531.18 and went back to 528.49, I played 5 rounds without problems, everything indicates that the crashes I was having were the new driver.

    It really is the GeForce Experience overlay that is causing the crash after the 4.0 update, I reinstalled the GE Experience and the game crashed after 5 minutes. 


    update 4.0 and GeForce Experience overlay are not getting along lol

    @JasonVoorHeesxD you could try to use DDU to delete all nvidia drivers.
    Pre download latest nvidia driver and ddu first

    Now disconnect from internet/network
    then uninstall nvidia software with windows / apps
    then boot into windows safe mode and use DDU to remove all nvidia related drivers / file / folders / registry keys

    reboot but do not connect with internet / network
    install the pre downloaded nvidia driver
    reboot
    reconnect internet / network
    test game

    cheers

    Rokebo thank you for your help , I'm not going to bother with what you have suggested above , I can play the game without using the Nvidia overlay at the moment , I don't have any other issues with the overlay in any other games just 2042 since the update , for everyones info I am using the latest Nvidia driver.

    Will just wait for a fix , shame the EA dev's don't bring us up to date with issues and working on it  ?

    Sometimes the game will load with no sound also ?  I'm having to click on the icon in task bar to jolt it to get the sound working ?

    thanks again Rokebo
