Nvidia driver for The Division and Hitman creates headaches for users

The game year 2016 continues and this week will be perhaps the busiest so far. Today, the long-awaited and repeatedly delayed Tom Clancy’s The Division is launched, which will be followed up later this week by the new Hitman. Traditionally, Nvidia takes the opportunity to release Game Ready drivers for the games, but at the same time leaves a firecracker for multi-screen users.

Shortly after the release of Geforce Game Ready Driver 364.47, reports began pouring in about issues, with recurring blue screens and reboots after installation. Nvidia has acknowledged the problems and claims that they only affect users who have more than one monitor connected.

The company has not yet gotten to the bottom of the problem and as a temporary solution, users are advised to disconnect all screens except one during installation. Anyone stuck in blue screens and reboots should start Windows in safe mode and uninstall the driver.

In addition to the mentioned problems and game optimizations, there is also support for the new graphics interface Vulkan, which in practice succeeds OpenGL and gives, like DirectX 12, closer access to the hardware. It is worth mentioning that nothing is mentioned about support for Asynchronous Compute, a performance-enhancing feature in DirectX 12 Nvidia previously announced needs to be activated in the drivers.

Game Ready driver Geforce 364.47 WHQL is available for download from the Geforce Experience software and Nvidia’s official website.
