Alienware/Clevo users can't play game because of drivers

We are alienware and clevo owners. We have powerful SLI enabled notebooks with extreme CPUs. However we can't play the game...

Game requires at least 355 driver and refuses to launch if drivers are older and We can't install  any newer drivers as it will destroy our LCD display until nvidia fix it as stated:

Is there a way to play with Nvidia display-safe drivers? (pre-355?) Skip graphics check command or something?

We would like to play the game but we can't and it is not our fault.

    @Kama3RU thanks for bringing this up. There is nothing we can do here by this point if a specific driver version is required but not compatible with your hardware and operation system setup. Maybe some members of our community have some workarounds or idea how to make Battlefront playable on your system.

    Cheers

    Can't we at least try to run the game? I presume that 355 driver check is there to prevent graphical problems or performance on dual GPU system. Isn't there a way to disable it?

    Some argument at least? starwarsbattlefront.exe - Skip_driver_check? Can't you release an EXE with disabled check?

    You are affecting hundreds of laptops owners here..

    @Kama3RU I understand that you guys are in a tough spot as you basically can't use the driver build and passed it on to the studio. We have no further information by this point but it is not likely that the minimum requirements, which includes driver versions, will be lowered for the game.
