Jedi Fallen Order Crashing on RTX 5080 – nvwgf2umx.dll Error

Hey, I recently upgraded to an MSI RTX 5080 SUPRIM SOC, and ever since, Jedi Fallen Order keeps crashing. The error message references nvwgf2umx.dll, which is part of the NVIDIA Direct3D driver stack, suggesting a compatibility issue between the latest NVIDIA drivers and the game.

System Specs:

• CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF
• GPU: MSI RTX 5080 SUPRIM SOC
• Motherboard: MSI MPG Z890 Carbon WiFi
• RAM: G.Skill 64GB DDR5-6000
• OS: Windows 11
• Game Version: Latest Steam/EA App version
• NVIDIA Driver Version: 572.16

Crash Behavior:

• The game crashes randomly during gameplay, on launch, or while loading a save game.
• Sometimes, the crash happens immediately, while other times, it happens after playing for a while.
• Other demanding games are running without issues on my RTX 5080, so this seems specific to Jedi Fallen Order.

Error Message:

Is anyone else with an RTX 5080 experiencing this issue? If you've found a workaround, please let me know!
