Nobody likes it when a game freezes up or outright crashes (not even gaming masochists), so kudos to NVIDIA for pushing out
a GeForce hotfix driver to address that very thing in a handful of popular titles. The hotfix also promises better overall stability in some specific games, and addresses a performance issue some people have observed in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Here's the full list of games and fixes...
- Apex Legends: Improves gameplay stability
- Overwatch: Game may freeze on launching a match
- Dungeons 3: Game will crash on startup
- Red Dead Redemption 2: Performance improvement when using DLSS is lower compared to previous drivers
- Destiny 2: Game may randomly freeze after launching game or during gameplay
- Halo Infinite: Increase stability during gameplay
If you're not running into any of the above issues, you'd be fine to skip the hotfix, as it doesn't include anything else of note-there are no security patches, additional game optimizations, or anything else not listed above. The only way to get the hotfix is through a manual download. NVIDIA's GeForce Experience doesn't fetch hotfix releases, nor will you find it when heading to NVIDIA's driver download page
