Nvidia drivers 516.40 and 516.59 make Destiny 2 freeze and crash.
English
-
I have been running on the latest driver (516.59) with shader cache off and discord overlay off and the crashes are gone for good for the last 24 hours.
-
The latest stable nvidia drivers cause this? What should I be using instead?
-
512.95 or try today's new driver, 516.79, that should have fixed it. Also try disabling the Shader Cache.
-
516.79 still crashes. I will go back to 512.95 and disable shader cache. The downside is that there are critical security vulnerabilities in 512...
-
have you tried this yet? i downgraded to 512.95 and my game still crashes
-
Same here, been almost 3 weeks that I can’t stay connected for more then 20 min. Was on 516.59 then downgraded to 512.95 and still didn’t fix.
-
Did you perform a clean install? Have you turned off the Shader Cache?
-
Shader cache is off, I’m not 100% sure what you mean by clean install.
-
Use something like DDU to uninstall former drivers completely before installing new ones.
-
So if I have 512 already installed should I uninstall all of them then reinstall only 512 or would it still work if I only uninstall 516
-
It'd better to reinstall the 512.95 after cleaning up all the files left over by the previous installations. If even after that you will still experience the same problem, then in your case there must be some other reasons.

Edited by Joe Gatto: 7/17/2022 3:10:11 AMSo I downloaded DDU and completely erased my old drivers then reinstalled 512.95 disables shader cache and still got weaseled after maybe 5 min Any ideas what else could be causing issues?
-
Weasel is a network problem, not a hardware/driver one.
-
Destiny is the only game having issues so I’m hoping this is all. I will try clean installing tonight when I get home thanks a ton for the help.
-
had this issue with the new drivers of nvidia which actually caused weasel, marmot, and worse was a bsod after the game froze. I had to uninstall BattlEye and delete all filles except for the packages folder of Destiny 2, then reboot to SafeMode for use of DDU. Installed 512.95 driver, then verified the files for Destiny 2 after that I had no other issues.
-
I just tried this this morning and I’m still having issues. I uninstalled that game, deleted battleye ran the DDU in safe mode then reinstalled the 512.95 drivers/destiny 2 and still kept disconnecting. I also made sure to turn the shade cache off again. I’m all out of ideas here I genuinely have no idea what the problem is no other game is having issues.

The only thing that changed is a day after my issues started I got a new router and the cable from the box to the house got replaced but it was after the issues started and everything else is faster if anything.
