Hello, I am trying to run Starfield on Linux through Steam+Proton, but it seems the driver misreports hardware to a game minimum specifications checker and causes an early fail to launch. This problem seems to impact many other users and very few manage to make it work. None make it work with Pascal…

Sorry for replying late on the thread, wanted to share the update that team has root caused the issue and working on integrating the changes into next release branch drivers.

Well new branches are usualy around 6 - 8 months apart if you look at the past driver releases. [image] Download The Latest Official NVIDIA Drivers Download the latest official NVIDIA drivers to enhance your PC gaming experience and run apps faster. Sometime …

The latest release is 535.104.5 in production branch and normally releases are every 3 weeks there. So you have to be fair here, its a huge fix for a lot of systems and they have to see it all working.

Version: 535.113.01 Release Date: 2023.9.21 is this the fix?

Sad… We’ll wait a while it seems.

Yes but no, this not have a fix for starfield.

Bummer… There are some new drivers in kernel 6.6 I was wanting to test, but it’s a hassle with 525 and 6.6 being mutually exclusive. Hopefully the new branch comes sooner than later.

That would have been very fast, I expect the driver some time next month.

Are there any ETA or I’m forced to switch to AMD to play? Waiting weeks or month for a fix with no propper support for a AAA game by such a big company is weak. The driver 535.113.01 does not fix anything.
