KNOWN ISSUES Below is a list of known issues with the DOOM: The Dark Ages Game Ready drivers, along with their workarounds. We are working to resolve them in an upcoming driver release.

  • Issue: If you are playing on a GeForce RTX 50 Series GPU and enable G-sync (supported display required) or V-SYNC plus DLSS Multi Frame Generation through the NVIDIA App you can crash the game.
    • Resolution: Until there is a driver fix available, the workaround for this issue is to either disable one of these options in the NVIDIA App or if you want both enabled, set them in-game.
  • Issue: Users with NVIDIA GPUs may find that Alt-Tabbing while launching the game can cause the game to launch in the background and not be accessible.
    • Resolution: This is a known driver issue. Until a fix is available in a driver update, to avert this issue, avoid Alt-Tabbing while the game is launching. If encountered, it can be resolved by restarting your PC.

Are all filters available now or just the same 2?

Override has been working on 2020 since the feature was introduced in the Nvidia app.

Just tried the new driver, nothing changed here and filters still not working. Oh well… :roll_eyes:

The last driver caused me a big headache trying to find out why 2020 would CTD halfway through loading. Even did a complete windows and 2020 reinstall thinking I may have some corrupted files. Ended up being the Nvidia app overlay. I won’t fall for that again.

I have the Nvidia app installed, no problem here.

Runs fine for me in SU2, with a 5080. It didn’t seem any different to the previous 576.n in terms of behaviour or FPS.

14

Hate to rain on the party, but with my new ASUS 5080 I get this for the first time:

Driver Crash 2025-05-12 09_52_05-Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - 1.4.18.0
Driver Crash 2025-05-12 09_52_05-Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - 1.4.18.0587Ă—483 29.4 KB

I will confirm one more time, then see if this will “roll back” to 576.28.

Duplicated.

My MSI 4070 got it days ago with the 576.28…
Win 11

Very quick test. Seems fine here. 5090.
3xFG still has to be set in the Nvidia App for it to work.
Can’t say I noticed any difference the 2min I tested :wink:.
Filters still missing most settings.

RTX 4090. i13900k.
Pimax Crystal Light, Pimax Play v1.36 (better than 1.39).
I just tried the 576.40 driver coming from 566.36 and it is better.
All the other previous drivers were catastrophic but this one is better than 566.36 on the first flight I’ve done today.
Let’s hope :slight_smile:

Msfs 2024 SU1

RTX5080 here, no issues with the 576.40 for the moment

There’s no issue because you’re not playing MSFS 2020 with DX 11.

Hi all
I have installed the NVIDIA profile inspector now in my PC and set some dlss override.
Do I need to do something else before I update to the latest NVIDIA driver or I could just update the driver.
