New Windows 10 Update = Crashes

Post by Xantor_Stromgate » Thu Dec 07, 2017 12:30 am

I just got the big update to Windows 10 and now every time the game unloads an area, it crashes, big time. It does the same thing on logging out as well.

Any of you genius soldiers got anymore of those ... fixes??? *druggy sniff*

Thanks,

Thanks! Ended up having to roll Windows back entirely (FX interface had the Roll Back Option for the display driver greyed out). But, it worked.

You're on un-updated windows?

It's way safer to go with an out of date graphics driver then an out of date OS.

Alsosee; Step 2

2. Roll back driver is not clickable. This is likely because you just got Windows's fall 2017 major update. If this is you, download the drivers from here and install them. Click 'preform a clean install.' Let them install and you should be good to go. Note that Windows will, in this case, likely re-download the 'current' drivers and 'helpfully' install them for you. If this is the case (it was for me after the big windows update) follow step 1, which will now work, and you shouldn't have to mess with it anymore.
