The recent launch of Alan Wake 2 has been met with critical acclaim, and for good reason. The game is a stunning technical achievement that showcases the power of next-gen consoles and PCs. However, PC users are being advised to hold off on updating to the latest Nvidia driver, 545.92, as it is causing a number of issues for some users. Image: Reddit The 545.92 driver is supposed to include optimizations for Alan Wake 2, but it is also causing a number of problems, including: Glitchy UI on Windows 10 Video artifacts Stuttering in various games Increased loading times in Halo Infinite Low GPU utilization spikes in certain games Blue screens Black screens (exclusive to Windows 11 Insider build users) If you are experiencing any of these issues, you should roll back to the previous driver, 537.58. You can do this by using the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from Wagnardsoft. https://twitter.com/alanwake/status/1717239774434480185?ref_srctwsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1717239774434480185%7Ctwgr%5E6921c177644e6d7d0aefcd50e8ea7f1d65c79324%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_urlhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com%2Fgaming-tech%2Fdon-t-update-nvidia-driver-playing-alan-wake-2-here-s It is important to note that not everyone is experiencing these issues. Some users have reported no problems with the 545.92 driver. However, given the number of reports of problems, it is best to err on the side of caution and wait for Nvidia to release a more stable driver. Alan Wake 2 is still playable with the older 537.58 driver, so you don't have to wait for Nvidia to release a fix if you want to start playing the game. However, if you are experiencing performance issues with the 537.58 driver, you may want to wait for the next driver update. Final Thoughts It is always a good idea to back up your system before updating your graphics drivers. This will allow you to roll back to the previous driver if you encounter any problems. If you are experiencing problems with the 545.92 driver, you can report them to Nvidia on their website or forums. This will help them to identify and fix the problem as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you can still enjoy Alan Wake 2 with the older 537.58 driver. Just be aware that you may not be able to take advantage of all of the game's features, such as ray tracing. Also Read:
