A few hours ago, NVIDIA released a new GeForce Hotfix Display Driver (version 576.66). This hotfix resolves crashing issues in popular games that are already out, such as the football game EA Sports FC 25 and the turn-based JRPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as well as the upcoming survival MMO-like game Dune Awakening, which will officially launch on June 10 but will be playable starting tomorrow for those who purchased the Deluxe or Ultimate edition.
There are a couple more things in this GeForce Hotfix Display Driver release, as you can read from the official changelog:
- Dune: Awakening may crash during gameplay [5273568]
- EA Sports FC 25 may crash during gameplay [5251937]
- [RTX 50 series] Dragons Dogma 2 displays shadow flicker [5252205]
- [RTX 50 series] Video playback in a web browser may show brief red/green flash corruption [5241341]
- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 may crash [5283401]
Unlike regular GeForce Game Ready drivers, a GeForce Hotfix Display Driver cannot be downloaded via GeForce Experience or the recently released NVIDIA app. You'll have to get it manually from this support page on NVIDIA's website. Of course, if you're not encountering those issues and/or are not playing those games, you can skip the download. It will be rolled into the next major GeForce Game Ready driver release anyway, which is probably not far off.
