Nvidia issues Hotfix driver to address stability issues in Ubisoft Snowdrop Engine games
Nvidia has released their new 566.45 GeForce HotFix driver to address micro-stuttering and stability issues in specific games. Note that this Hotfix does not address the performance issues in the recently released Nvidia App. Note that these Nvidia App issues can be mitigated by turning off overlays.
Specifically, this driver addresses “micro-stuttering” issues that some GeForce GPU users are experiencing in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Additionally, it also addresses stability issues for Ubisoft games that use the company’s Snowdrop engine. This includes games like XDefiant, Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and The Division 2. Below are the release notes for this new GeForce Hotfix.
