      @mdcobra I updated my driver to this new version but doesn’t seem to do anything for me

      Did you install as a 'clean install'?

        I installed the new driver (and NB I never installed the problem one) and it seems to be working for me. W/o issue

        I’m a shitty 1k Global. Any balance or gameplay suggestions should be understood or taken as such.

                Do the other fixes work for you?

                  The mod keeps deselecting every time I try to play. I'll select it, go into a game and try playing around, have problems. I go back and the mod is unselected and not in use, weird.

                    Unfortunately none of the given fixes work for me, does anyone have further ideas?
                    I can freeze the game simply by moving my mouse. This happens in vanilla FA as well as FAF, in the intros, main menu and in-game.
                    I've tried:

                    • Clean installs of driver versions 441.41, 442.74, 457.30, and 461.09.
                    • Running DDU, then clean installing 441.41
                    • Disabling the NVIDIA Display Container LS service
                    • d3d_WindowsCursor on/off
                    • The NVIDIA fix mod
                    • Setting FPS cap to 60 in NVIDIA Control Panel
                    • Reducing mouse polling rate from 1000Hz to 125Hz
                    • Vsync & AA on/off
                    • Various resolutions
                    • Windowed mode
                    • An ancient Dell mouse instead of my G502
                    • Disabling my secondary monitor

                    My PC: (In case it helps)
                    RTX 2080S, 9900k, 32GB DDR4-3200
                    Game owned through Steam

                      @ThaPear. you clearly have remnants of the driver sticking around despite your "clean installs" of the nvidia driver

                      You can probably prove this if you have an extra hard drive or space on your hard drive, just install a new windows there for testing, put driver 450 I don't think you need to go much lower. it should work then. if it does, you might want to just transfer all your files and use that new windows install instead.

                      How to setup FAF on linux

                        Hi all, I had a previous update 460.89 (my friend was on an older version) and I was having major packet loss in a 2v2 battle with my friend after just installing FAF for the first time in years as host or with my friend hosting, then saw the notice about GeForce driver issue. I was fine when zoomed in not moving and then when the mouse moved or I was scrolling out all the way and playing we would get constant jitters from the packet loss on my end, confirmed this with F11 and could see I was behind 5. I just updated to 461.09 and the issue was resolved for me and our game was perfectly smooth so I believe this is now fixed in the current Nvidia patch as we just played another 2v2 with no issues at all and increased the speed to x10 with me zooming around like crazy with no jitters at all or packet loss.

                        461.09 fixed it for me, hope it does for you guys too ❤

                            Edit: Laticlave has helpfully made a UI mod titled "Nvidia fix" to correct the driver issue until we can get a proper patch out. Feel free to download it from the vault!

                            (Send by Deribus on discord)

                            We've received reports that the newest NVIDIA driver update, version 460.79, can cause significant performance issues in FAF. It's highly recommended to avoid updating to this driver or roll back if you have already done so.

                            We don't have much information as of yet, and will keep you updated if there are any changes or fixes.

                            If you need help rolling back your driver, please check the pins in the #technical-help channel

                              The cursor problem still exists with driver 461.09 for me,but on the plus side the nvidia fix mod works for me going to try a proper game with poeple now,so far so good.

                                      Version 461.40 works good with nvidia fix mod; Tested it with another guy on a 2v2 map with cheats for a big airbattle.
                                      No lags, almost no stuttering, stuttering free scrolling; Cursor is working too and is not flickering.
                                      The only thing I noticed is screen flickering sometimes but barely noticable. It did not affect the overall gaming performance.

                                      Also make sure that the mod is activated when you create a new game. You can also check that in game under Options -> Gameinfo

                                      System:
                                      Ryzen 9 5900x

                                            For the life of me, I cannot find the 'nvidiafix' mod.

                                            If you have the most recent version of the client (should be version 1.4) there is a tab called "mods"

                                            If you have an older version of the client, you need to click on "vault" and then click on "mods"

                                            That takes you to the mod vault.

                                            There should be a section called "Recommended UI Mods." The NVidia Fix mod is in that section, it looks like #7.

                                            You can also search for the mod by name. Search for the word "Nvidia" and it will come up. Just search for all mods with "Nvidia" in the name (using the search tools) and it will come up.

                                            The exact name of the mod is "Nvidia fix" (two separate words).
