NVIDIA Announces the GeForce 388.10 Hotfix Drivers for Wolfenstein II

[Raevenlord]

NVIDIA today released the latest version of their GeForce driver suite which brings with it critical support fixes for machine Games' Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. This hotfix is of particular interest for Kepler-based GPUs - and the users that deploy these for eye-candy and 3D acceleration purposes. NVIDIA is counting on launching a new Game Ready driver package in the beginning of next week, bringing the best, optimal experience to the title.

If not for its impressive graphics and the fact that it's a Wolfenstein game, this one should probably capture your attention due to the developers cutting off multiplayer entirely, so that nothing interfered with the development of the games' single-player experience. In a world of canned single-player games due to these not being easy to develop microtransactions and DLC packs for, Machine Games' approach is one that should elicit an approving nod - at least for story pundits (disclaimer: this editor is one of those). You can download this driver below.

Loved Wolf The New Order, but I still need to finish The Old Blood before I even consider grabbing this. Talks of crashes and the like on Steam reviews suggest as always it's no bad thing to wait.

Interesting how a news post about a driver release turned into an editorial about single player vs multi player. Not that I disagree with the statements.

In before the people complaining about the last drivers being beta even though they were labeled WHQL because they don't realize what WHQL is and that WHQL drivers don't have to be perfect, they just shouldn't crash the system and that drivers are always under constant development.

It's a respectful move. I hate it when developers shove in multiplayer just for the sake of saying "It has multiplayer". I rather see them polishing the single player with time they'd otherwise spend on doing multiplayer which dies after few years. Where single player stays forever.
I really liked both last new Wolfensteins. Only annoyance I had with them was popping in of textures as you moved or rotated. That really annoyed me. But it looked nice otherwise.

Yeah, it did; it was the first time I talked about this game, and wanted to give credit where credit is due. If I can call out developers/publishers when they do something wrong, I feel it's only fair I also give my opinion when they do something that is (arguably, still) right.

There will likely be an editorial on this regard in the future, though.
