• Nvidia’s new 572.16 driver seems to be inflicting crashes throughout a number of video games, together with different system points
• Enabling Body Era in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 causes BSoDs
• A number of customers throughout Nvidia’s boards, Steam, and Reddit have voiced the identical frustrations

It is no secret that Nvidia’s new driver that brings DLSS 4 assist for a number of video games is an unbelievable addition for all RTX GPU customers, most notably for improved picture high quality in DLSS efficiency mode – however in case you’ve up to date, you really would possibly need to roll again your driver for now.

Based mostly on a number of person experiences on Nvidia’s boards and Reddit, Workforce Inexperienced’s newest 572.16 driver is inflicting loads of points, together with crashing video games and restarting PCs throughout a number of titles – with some even leading to a Blue Display screen of Dying. I can corroborate these experiences – on a number of events (after reinstalling the brand new driver and making certain there have been no different system instabilities), making an attempt to change on Body Era in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 brought about repeated situations of the dreaded BSoD.

Whereas it was extra frequent in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the identical occurred when making an attempt to launch Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6, with rolling again my drivers left as the one repair. This was already suspicious, and the experiences counsel these points might certainly stem from Nvidia’s new driver.

The identical problem has been mentioned by some customers within the Steam Group boards, additional indicating that enabling Body Era causes affected PCs to restart. It isn’t precisely clear why that is taking place, however it seems that it could possibly be a mix of points with Nixxes’ PC port of Insomniac’s Spider-Man sequel (no shock there…) and the brand new driver. There was an analogous case with God of Warfare: Ragnarok at launch earlier than a patch, which resulted in customers’ video games crashing through the first encounter with Thor.

What is the answer for now?

If you happen to’re fortunate, you might not have run into these points even with the newest driver put in – however it might be most secure to roll again drivers for now, or on the very least anticipate Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and different affected video games to obtain one other patch. I have to stress that the BSoDs largely occurred when attempting to allow Body Era inside the new PC port, so different video games may be secure from this problem.

Even when reverting to the earlier driver, you will nonetheless doubtless face the occasional crash in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 (regardless of a current hotfix launched to handle this). Fortuitously, my system hasn’t been uncovered to the litany of points some others have talked about – however contemplating how a lot has been documented by some troubled customers, I might say you must wait till Workforce Inexperienced releases a brand new driver, particularly since not all video games can make the most of the brand new DLSS 4 Override function but.
