NVidia Driver 451.67 can cause crashes with BLITZ and TOBRUK

[Buzzsaw]

As reported on this forum, NVidia driver 451.67 can cause stutters and crashes in BLITZ and TOBRUK.  (also DCS)

 

Players have had success by reverting to driver 436.48.

[OBT-Mikmak]

I use the NVidia driver 445.87 without problem in CloD, DCS and BOx.

Well crap...why didnt I see that earlier.

[No_85_Gramps]

There is a new version: Driver 452.06. I haven't installed it yet and may not.

[=FEW=Hauggy]

Well it didnt seem to cause any issue with me after all. I might install the next update then.

After continuous ME editor crash problems @Rapidus mentioned that 411. 63 seems to have the least issues with IL2 GB.

I had problems installing it for my 2080ti Aorus Geoforce GPU, but i had to use a removal tool first. Crashes seem almost nil now, for about a full day.

It could be related to DirectX 11 as well, i force that for the ME by selecting Windows 7 mode in compatibility. ...

For DirectX 12 programs i would not know which driver version to use. I still have to test Clifs ...

Since I plan install Windows from scratch in a new SSD in next days, I decide try the 457.51 driver, released in 02/12.

 

Uninstall the previous drivers and clean register with Auslogics BootSpeed.

 

Install the new driver give issues, I don't want install Geforce Experience neither Nvidia Physics, the only game I play that use this thing is the old and obscure 7754 - a Vietnamese game about Vietminh fight against French (7.7.54 is date of victory in Dien Bien Phu) but the installer fail, saying that are not able to install Geforce Experience - un-ticked, what seems a common error even for one that want install this "bloatware".

So did the driver install using "old school" update drivers in Devices Manager.

 

Second issue, arround a year ago Microsoft force Nvidia turn their Nvidia Control panel a "app" to be installed only through Microsoft Store... but I have uninstalled most of MS bloatware...?

 

In CloD - after clean cache I run "The Black Death" track and no issues so far, graphics seems OK (in an old Geforce GTX 970).

 

BTW - Windows 10 updated.

I installed 457.51 a couple of days ago and have not had any issues.

I put an new 250 GB SSD in my old (8 years) computer and make a new install of Windows 10/64 -  20H2 version, compilation 19042.685.

 

Install latest Nvidia driver (for an old Geforce CTX 970) - 460.79

 

Install motherboard drivers, Steam and IL-2:CloD.

 

My folder "Documents" are in other driver, so I just change  the location of the new created "Documents" for the "Documents" in this drive.

 

For a while IL-2: CloD work flawless, keeping my video adjusts, control assignments and custom missions/campaign.
