GeForce Experience 'Breaks' My Games

[MrN1ce9uy]

This hasn't always been a problem. But the past week or so I've been having issues with games launching in an unsupported resolution (or refresh rate), even though I've manually set them to my screen's native resolution. I just get "Out of Range" blank screen. The only way to get the game to display is by uninstalling GeForce Experience, or sometimes it will launch by optimizing it automatically with GeForce Experience. It's really hit or miss.

Also, ShadowPlay does not work in those same games (when I do get them to launch). I was previously using ShadowPlay all the time without issue. Now, it seems completely broken. Maybe it's the latest version of GeForce Experience, or possible the latest driver.

I'm running the latest version (2.11.3.5 well, not really because I uninstalled it, it's broken) and the latest driver (368.22).

Anyone else having these issues?

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.

Okay, so I've spent the past 2 hours or more on this and I've followed your instructions, but it hasn't seemed to resolve my problem. The issue is with GeForce Experience's game optimization settings. The one game that I'm wanting to use ShadowPlay on isn't working with ShadowPlay. This has been the going thing with GeForce Experience lately. The one game is Assassin's Creed Unity, and it will only run correctly if I use the recommended resolution (1024 x 768) or run it in windowed mode, but ShadowPlay won't work unless I'm running it in the recommended resolution.

Once again, another day goes by that I've spent more time trying to get NVIDIA's software to work correctly with certain games than I have actually playing those games.

And now ShadowPlay no longer works with The Division. It was working earlier, now after trying to run AC Unity, ShadowPlay quits working in The Division.

CoD: Black Ops doesn't even show up in GeForce Experience, yet ShadowPlay works on it. There is no consistency with ShadowPlay working. It seems that the game I want to use it on is the game that doesn't work. Whether it be The Division, Syndicate, or Unity; all Ubisoft games..
