NVIDIA rolled out the GeForce 384.80 Hotfix drivers. These drivers address an application crash noticed when trying to start up "Watch_Dogs 2," after updating to the GeForce 384.76 WHQL drivers, which were released earlier this month. The rest of its feature-set is consistent with the 384.76 WHQL driver release. Grab the drivers from the link below.

Has anyone tested these drivers on Battlegrounds yet?

Seriously. They should release Hot Fixes ONLY. This is getting ridiculous.

Gotta love how after all those partnerships with Ubisoft they still can't seem to get it right in exactly those specific titles.

Understandable with this title though, as testing this game would be a total bore.

Awesome, glad to see support taking care of business. I bet they would have fixed it sooner but the holiday delayed things a bit.

To be reasonable, it's just one game. As far as some of their hotfixes have been, this is pretty minor.
