Nvidia hotfix driver addresses Doom Eternal crashes

Matthew Wilson July 3, 2021 Drivers, Featured Tech News

Following id Software’s RTX update for Doom Eternal earlier this week, some GeForce graphics card users began experiencing driver-related crashes. Fortunately for anyone experiencing this issue, a hotfix driver has now been made available.

Earlier this week, Nvidia released the 471.11 driver, which enabled support for ray-tracing and DLSS in Doom Eternal. For some people, this driver would cause Doom Eternal to crash to desktop, an issue that has now been corrected in a 471.22 hotfix driver.

The hotfix driver also fixes a few other issues, including League of Legends failing to launch, a mouse cursor colour error when using certain DSC monitors in HDR mode, an HDMI audio playback issue and an issue causing some users to have their resolution locked at 640×480.

If you’ve faced any of those issues, then the 471.22 hotfix driver should help. You can download the driver, HERE.
