Spider-Vice Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 GeForce Experience sucks for hotfix drivers, it never tells you when one is available. You need to follow the actual instructions in the warning message and download it from the site. It released today along with the patch.

Gforce Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 On a pair of Maxwell 980ti's my first run the game ran with some micro-stutter, exited the game and restarted and the game runs butter smooth 60fps (59.9) for me, however I'm using the 442.37 hotfix driver as I can't find the 442.29 on Nvidia's page yet might be the reason I'm still having the water bug issue.

I think the R* message is referring to a developer driver that they thought would keep the version number after it released to the public.

I think the R* message is referring to a developer driver that they thought would keep the version number after it released to the public. I wouldn't put money on that, Nvidia has done number swapping in the past, even since RDR2 got released so there's no guarantee, the 442.37 HF is dated 14/02/20 afaik, maybe there's a newer one coming for the main driver page. I never actually saw the R* message for the driver update overall the game is running smoother for me atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I get the correct version for my game? Answer: Until the final driver update is available, players can install the GeForce Hotfix Driver Version 442.37 available here: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4994 Honestly not sure if we're gonna get patch notes for this one as it seems like this was a joint fix with NVIDIA.

T-ru Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I hope I'm not deluded myself but the performance in the towns is much better after a hour of playing in story mode I didn't see freezes, lags and popping textures even there is a much more peds 😀 And I'm still with 441.66 driver 😆 the dumb thing for now is that Nvidia still doesn't have a new official driver.

Is there a solution to not install the patch if i'm playing only in SP? Table is not PC specific. It's still broken on consoles, so it's also broken on PC. 1 hour ago, T-ru said: the dumb thing for now is that Nvidia still doesn't have a new official driver. Yes, just the hotfix released for the patch, you need to get it from NVIDIA's support site. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4994 5 hours ago, RedIndianRobin said: None. This might be animal spawn issue patch for PC although animal spawns weren't really an issue on PC. The patch + driver focuses on Pascal users so if you had crashing there should be improvements.

Polarized Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Uhm dumb question, but idk, it’s just a matter of time (time quite fast) that the new driver is going to be available on Geforce Experience or I have to manually update it (uninstall the old and install the new one?) It’s a hotfix but it’s still also a new driver version, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahah I had to wait 20 minutes. I confirm that smoke is still absent ... Usually I am patient but I also start to be a little disappointed ... especially if they are bugs introduced by patches ... meh.

One thing that can cause the brief freezes is a service that runs on windows PC's that you can disable. Look for the service SettingSyncHost.exe and turn it off. I have not had one freeze since I disabled it. T-ru 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much epic got? Steam only downloads delta. So, I think I found one fix in this patch: you can now place a waypoint using double click even far away from the screen center, while previously it would center the map on the first click and the waypoint would thus be misplaced. However, I might be wrong that was the case before 'cause I haven't played it for quite some time. Also, it still does center the map if you click a blip, so the waypoint is still misplaced if you use double click to set it.
