Forcing nVidia 388.31 Driver Version After Today's Update! FIX IT!
Today's update is forcing PC users to upgrade to nVidia driver version 388.31. Are you kidding me?!

Community ManagerThis is because the most recent drivers, 388.43 include Battlefront 2 specific changes, including an SLI profile.
If your hardware/OS combination is compatible with the 388.43 drivers then downloading that setup and performing a clean install of those drivers is advised.
Thanks.
@EA_Barry, I totally understand "advisable" driver updates but that isn't what is going on here. The game is "forcing" a driver update to even launch the game.
Forcing specific driver builds on your player-base AFTER the game has launched is ridiculous IMO. I was running 385 drivers just fine. 388 drivers are also working fine on my system but others may not have the same results.
I really think the EA/DICE team should reconsider forcing driver updates on their PC players; good intentions and all, some driver packages just don't work well for certain configurations.
And at the very least, forcing a specific targeted driver build should be listed in the minimum requirements page to run this game.
I'm actually shocked this hasn't made it on reddit yet...
