NVIDIA has released its GeForce Game Ready 442.50 WHQL driver.
The driver fixes a crash issue in Respawn Entertainment’s free-to-play battle royale game, Apex Legends.
It also brings day-one support for The Division 2’s first expansion, Warlords of New York, which brings players back to the original game’s setting – the Big Apple. The expansion raises the level cap to 40 and comprises the first of multiple, new endgame activities.
The 442.50 driver also includes day-one support for another expansion, ARK: Genesis. The season pass includes two expansion packs, as well as an in-game robotic AI companion called “HLN-A” to help players survive in a simulation ripe with dangerous creatures.
Lastly, NVIDIA’s driver adds support for three G-SYNC Compatible displays. These are the AOC AG271FZ2, AOC AG271F1G2, and ASUS PG43U. A full list of G-SYNC, G-SYNC ULTIMATE, and G-SYNC Compatible gaming monitors can be accessed here.
Users can download NVIDIA’s Game Ready 442.50 WHQL driver on the GeForce driver page, or through GeForce Experience. Check out the full release notes here.
