Nvidia disables rollout of latest Game Ready driver, encourages rollback

The new Nvidia Game Ready graphics driver that began rolling out yesterday has been suddenly pulled shortly after circulation. Nvidia has removed downloads for the driver temporarily while it investigates a number of reported issues.

According to some reports, the new driver contained a bug that would stop GPU fans spinning, as well as a voltage locking issue, HDR problems and issues with simple tasks like video playback.

Nvidia confirmed that it has pulled downloads of the driver on its blog page, saying: “We have discovered a bug in the Game Ready and Studio 595.59 WHQL drivers and have removed the downloads temporarily while our team investigates. For users that have already installed this driver and are experiencing issues with fan control, please roll back to 591.86 WHQL”.

If you have the Nvidia App, you can still roll back your driver through the drivers tab by scrolling down and clicking the three dots in the corner.

KitGuru Says: This is unfortunate timing, especially with Resident Evil Requiem becoming widely available today. There is no timeline yet for a hotfix but we will keep our eyes out for it.
