hiya. noob here. i just recently updated my nvidia driver to the latest version (471.11) and almost every game i play have been showing negative effects. tried to roll back to older versions but the issue still persists. i've always kept the driver up to date at all times but this one seems to break everything and i cant revert back to my previous driver setting where everything was perfect. can someone please help.
Issues ive experienced with games:
Apex Legends : at first i kept getting different error messages mid game before crashing to the desktop. some of them includes:
Days Gone : cant even make it past the very first cutscene. freezes and crashes just like apex. after tinkering with nvidia driver (rolled back to every previous drivers up to v465.89) made it through a fraction of the tutorial before it freezes again at the same exact spot.
Cyberpunk 2077 : fails to even load into the game. crashes at the initial loading screen. had to force reboot my pc.
COD Warzone : shadows flicker violently in one game. other settings still works fine. had some lags but that was probably due to poor connection.
Horizon Zero Dawn : works perfectly at high setting. at least 2 hours without issues.
AC Odyssey : seemingly unaffected. only tested for a few minutes. ran the game's benchmark and made it to the end without crashing at least.
AC Valhalla : same case as odyssey. benchmark made it to the end without crashing.
at this point im just running games using my previous settings just to see if they crash or run into errors.ive tried using older versions of nvidia drivers including 466.77, 466.47, 466.27, 466.11, 461.92, 461.72, 465.89 and none of them fixes this issue.
here are my pc spec:
