Requires New Nvidia Drivers
This would be no problem at all if everyone who currently has a Gtx860m driver could actually play the game with the newer drivers that the game now requires. EA, is there any way to allow for the us...
Forum Discussion
"And if anyone has the same problem I simply changed a value in regedit to fake having a higher driver version - It's only used for checking which version you have, doesn't influence the performance in any way.
For my ATI card it was under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class and then I searched for Catalyst_Version and changed the value from 13.9 to 15.7 and then it ran the game. That should be enough info for someone to google a solution for their own card."
Does this mean anything to anyone? Can we bypass the driver block?
I did a little digging around on my PC and I think you can find your driver information here in this location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Installer2\Drivers
I'm not sure what to edit at that point. I got this information from a super old forum here: http://superuser.com/questions/64900/how-can-i-find-remotely-the-nvidia-graphics-drivers-version-on-windows-xp-client (and then took some modern liberties with it, since we aren't on XP)
A more recent forum has a pretty good walk-through here, which sources a different location in the registry: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/display-driver-stopped-responding-and-has/30570f98-7fe9-4b72-9d0b-e929ee8173c6?auth=1
This occurs from sloppy handling, both locally and at the source level. It easily avoided by using the CLEAN install procedures. For those players reluctant to prowl inside the Registry (can be catastrophic if you screw up), you have to totally uninstall the current drivers, then use CCleaner or similar software to do the Registry cleanup, after which, the reinstalled drivers will be fine!
in most cases you would be right, but that last 3 nvidia drivers for the 860m just plain do not work.
Thank you for the step closer to a possible solution!
