Roll Back GPU Driver (NVIDIA\/AMD)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

You updated your graphics card driver yesterday. Today,\u00a0Invincible VS<\/em>\u00a0crashes constantly. The timing is impossible to ignore. Before the update, the game ran smoothly\u2014maybe not perfectly, but it worked. Now you cannot get through a single match without a fatal error, a freeze, or a crash to desktop. This frustrating scenario is more common than you might think. New GPU drivers are designed to improve performance and fix bugs, but they can also introduce new problems. A driver that works perfectly for one game may break another. Developers at NVIDIA and AMD<\/a> cannot test every game in existence before releasing a driver. When a new driver causes crashes specifically for\u00a0Invincible VS<\/em>, the solution is not to wait for a fix\u2014it is to\u00a0roll back<\/strong>\u00a0to the previous driver that worked. This guide walks you through exactly how to roll back your GPU driver on both NVIDIA and AMD systems, how to perform a clean installation, and how to prevent automatic driver updates from breaking your game again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Do New GPU Drivers Cause Crashes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding why driver updates sometimes break games will help you diagnose the problem and prevent it in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “Golden Rule” of GPU drivers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

If your game is working perfectly, do not update your GPU driver unless the update specifically mentions your game.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Many experienced PC gamers follow this rule strictly. They only update drivers when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
