NVIDIA 384.47 beta driver released, includes a fix for newer Feral titles

By - | Views: 19,280
NVIDIA have released the 384.47 beta driver and it includes support for more GPUs and it has a fair amount of bug fixes. One notable bug fix is that it fixes an issue with newer Feral games.

Since newer Feral games check for both OpenGL and Vulkan at start-up, some of you might have experienced a crash with previous drivers. This should fix it. I haven't personally seen the issue, but I know some of you have. If so, try this driver and let us know how it goes.

It adds support for these GPUs:
  • GeForce GTX 1080 with Max-Q Design
  • GeForce GTX 1070 with Max-Q Design
  • GeForce GTX 1060 with Max-Q Design
  • GeForce GT 1030
  • GeForce MX150
  • P106-100

Quoting: EhvisWhen you have it installed, the nvidia-settings package is basically a notifier for new driver versions because it updates to the latest version regardless of your current driver version.

I'm not sure I understood you there Ehvis, but I updated the nvidia-settings package now, but it still says NVIDIA Driver Version is at 381.22 under "X Server Information"?

The driver won't update over major versions automatically. You need to manually choose nvidia-384 and related packages to update.
