The game has some stability issues, we currently recommend players stay on the 516.59 or 522.25 drivers”.

Nvidia later confirmed the problem, with a company representative saying: “Yes, there was a bug submitted for this game and we’re hotfixing it. This is why our latest Game Ready driver wasn’t ready the first time. This work is promoted and recommended for installation.”

Ironically, some players posted on the forums that they specifically updated to the latest Nvidia driver to fix the crash, but that instead caused more problems. Nvidia did not specify when the hotfix will be complete.
