Hey, folks! 👋
We have a workaround for the random crashes with NVIDIA GPUs 🥳 If you haven't experienced those - nothing to see here, stay awesome, and have a good day! :3
... but if the game's been crashing for you, and you have a GeForce graphics card, this should help.
If you've read our previous posts, you may remember that we've been struggling with crashes that randomly start happening for some owners of NVIDIA GPUs, and then explode either at launch or a few minutes in. Sometimes it's just crashes, but sometimes it's reboots or other nasty stuff.
Those turned out to be two separate driver bugs; one is already fixed in the 565-series driver, and a driver fix for the other one should be coming soon. Meanwhile, this patch implements a workaround on our side. Huge thanks to Piers & team from NVIDIA for their help 💚
And also thanks to everyone who sent us crash reports - they were essential in nailing this down 🙇
We'll probably still have some random graphics-related crashes here and there (*cough* Intel iGPU owners, update your drivers *cough*), but between this and the Radeon 5000-series workaround, the vast majority should be fixed now 🥳
... and with that, I'm gonna have a drink and chill for a bit... Mmm, green tea with ginger & apple juice.
Love,
Tom & Ana
