New nvidia driver broke JWE2 Completely.

same here!
I posted it already on steam and there are many other players with same problem with the newest drivers
Yeah. I saw it posted on the subreddit as well. Seems to be an issue either with the game, or with the driver itself. Hopefully, frontier or nvidia (depends on which end it is) can fix it fast.
 
I also just experienced this. Weird flashing lights all over the place, objects and creatures disappearing at different angles and skyboxes and everything else blinking and flashing like crazy with these near psychodelic colors. Guess I'm going to have to hold off on finishing the Dominion campaign till later.
 
I also noticed that the new ray traced ambient occlusion option causes the game to crash frequently. I recently got the game, started a new campaign and couldn't even play 10 minutes with this option turned on. I'm using the previous NVIDIA drivers 512.95, the new ones are causing issues for me, too. No issues using the regular ambient occlusion setting and all other games are stable as before.
 
Hey everyone!

We've reached out to NVIDIA about this and they're looking into it for us. Reverting to the previous driver should help resolve it temporarily.
Jens, any word from Nvidia on what they're doing about this issue? The solution of trying to revert to the previous driver is not easy or convenient for a lot of players. The option to roll back the driver from the device manager is grayed out and I personally don't feel comfortable trying to do a manual uninstall of the current driver/install of the previous driver. Did they give you any sort of ETA for when a new update might come to fix this? As it is, the game is currently unplayable as it affects all maps and modes outside the main menu.

Thank you for the report, Ressurector. I've shared this with the team.

We don't have a firm ETA just yet, but we're hoping to have this issue sorted as soon as possible.
