It is being reported that upgrading from 344.11 to 344.48 can cause Alien Isolation to hang when loading new levels (keeps happening to me). I'm running Win 7 64bit and a GeForce Titan Black card. So if you run into this, now you know why. I'll go back to the previous drivers since I had no issues with them.


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Yikes, that sucks. Looks like Nvidia quality control dropped the ball on this update especially when you consider that Alien Isolation is a AAA title.

Yeah, and more so when the previous driver highlights lists Alien Isolation among its "Game Ready" titles:

Same here Chucky. I even found out the reason last night on Google, so I could have rolled back the drivers then had it not been for Ruskova. Somehow I kept staring at my PC wondering what to do next. So I watched an episode of original Star Trek instead and ate my supper. biggrin

Thanks for the heads up hadn't tried Alien Isolation yet since I updated my drivers last night to 344.48, now I will know to revert if I see this problem instead of troubleshooting.
