Blue screen when using latest Nvidia Graphic Driver 531.18 and Nvidia GeForce

[Hootieleece]

I upgraded to the new patch 1.2 and hoped that the Nvidia problems would be fixed.

I get a Blue screen and comp restarts.

I rolled back to Nvidia 528.49 and have no problems.

I had no problems with Victoria 3 in any of the patches and version until the latest Nvidia Patch 531.18 2/28/23

I also just had a BSOD with the 531.18 driver and a GTX 1050.

This is apparently a known issue with the driver, not specific to this game. It looks like Nvidia has a hotfix driver out (531.26) but they haven't pushed it as an update in Geforce Experience for some reason.

Edit: lots of people have issues with the hotfix so I'm just rolling back to the driver I had before 531.18 for now.

Thanks for the heads up!

Is it ONLY when GeForce Experience is also loaded, are you saying?

Only with the Driver 531.18.

I still have Geforce Experience installed but I reverted back to the previous driver 528.49 and I am able to play the game.

I also have GTX1050.

I downloaded the latest Driver 531.29 just now and the game works fine.
