Looks like we had a recent Nvidia video driver update fairly recently.  I've no idea whether it's needed or not, but out of prudence, it's probably worth doing instead of mashing our F5 keys.

The implementation of DLSS/DLAA certainly makes updating geforce-drivers a higher priority (or usefulness) than it used to be......

I have this strange feeling that the download speed for this patch is going to be on the slower side

new NVIDIA drivers here, no issue so far, maybe just lucky

The latest NVIDIA drivers stopped the dreaded green screen for me. No problems here so far.

Probably varies on card models or OS, that forum I linked above makes mention of the bug on some setups so it does exist.

This is the one I'm still running on my 4080 and it's fine with DCS and everything else, no need to update just now.

It was express installation.

Guys see this forum post at Guru3D, there are problems with the 545 driver branch on some setups

I'll stop posting driver stuff now as it's kinda thread derailing lol waiting eagerly for the 2.9 patch as I'm on my two days off work 

[BIGNEWY]

Just a heads up once patch notes are live I will close this thread and link patch notes discussion thread.

thanks

Yeah I have issues here and there with express. It's worth a shot doing a clean install and if you still have issues, then you know it's the update itself. I've had issues where the install will freeze and then won't install even after a DDU cleaning. Luckily haven't had that issue in a while but I've gotten some random artifacting with the version you're currently on and the one before it. Take that for what it's worth haha.

I would use the Display Driver Uninstaller which did "deep clean" in Windows Safe Mode, then install the driver in Safe Mode after reboot.

BTW, keep clicking on that Update button now...
