I misread it as a new driver esp after today's new launch, and less of your lip.

You would think I posted porn or abuse by your tone.

GeForce Hotfix Driver 456.71 (Released 10/1/20)


GeForce Hotfix display driver version 456.71 is based on our latest Game Ready Driver 456.55

The hotfix addresses the following issues:

Launching a game in full screen mode may trigger a black screen on adaptive sync monitors if G-SYNC is enabled

[Fortnite] Game may experience crash when using in-game RTX Shadows/Reflection

[Divinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition] Enabling Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling results in lower frame rate

It can be accessed here:

https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5091

A GeForce driver is an incredibly complex piece of software, We have an army of software engineers constantly adding features and fixing bugs. These changes are checked into the main driver branches, which are eventually run through a massive QA process and released.

Since we have so many changes being checked in, we usually try to align driver releases with significant game or product releases. This process has served us pretty well over the years but it has one significant weakness. Sometimes a change that is important to many users might end up sitting and waiting until we are able to release the driver.

The GeForce Hotfix driver is our way to trying to get some of these fixes out to you more quickly. These drivers are basically the same as the previous released version, with a small number of additional targeted fixes.

The fixes that make it in are based in part on your feedback in the Driver Feedback threads and partly on how realistic it is for us to quickly address them. These fixes (and many more) will be incorporated into the next official driver release, at which time the Hotfix driver will be taken down.

To be sure, these Hotfix drivers are beta, optional and provided as-is.

They are run through a much abbreviated QA process. The sole reason they exist is to get fixes out to you more quickly. The safest option is to wait for the next WHQL certified driver. But we know that many of you are willing to try these out.

These HotFix drivers represent a lot of additional work by our engineering teams, I hope they provide value for you. We’ll try it out and see if people like the idea and want us to continue.

Need some help with driver issues. Using the latest DDU to remove old stuff in safe mode not connected to internet. When trying to install 456.55 or 456.38 and I just get install failed. Where can I get the logs to work out what isn't working?

I've also just realised it's my 13th anniversary on here, so happy birthday to me :p

Why are you using DDU, it causes more issues than it solves.
