Installed fine but I was logged in to start with.

Sometimes your browser settings can prevent log in, be it blocking 3rd party cookies or such.

Windowed G-Sync doesn't appear to be working on my PG279Q with the new 440.97 driver, Works full screen no problem though.

 

[Wrinkly]

440.97 has broken The Surge 2 leaving the player unable to zone.

The setting in NVCP had reverted to full screen only for me, have you checked that...

 

[humbug]

Skip this one?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Wait for the 'hotfix'

 

[humbug]

Right

 

[Dicehunter]

For me the instant I exit any game, G-Sync turns off for me and then only works in fullscreen mode, Wish Nvidia would properly test these things before releasing them.

I went full rtard mode

Win10 latest Oct 19, New Nvidia drivers and decided to say yes to GFE for sharpening. Now i do think things are a bit bloated more, 7us idle DPC to 27-35us now but what gets to me is the way GFE runs.


Basically i open GFE before a game right for filters? So what then there is no way to minimalize to system tray, Hitting X closes the app? So basically to get the filter it has to run alongside the game exe lol really?


I thought once setup and overlay on it would close and minimize to tray and be quiet like Steam, Or best it would just go away and when i hit alt f3 it would appear. But not so it just has to sit in the taskbar open and then i have to run the game. AMD sharpening is basically built into the driver. Literally 1/10 for effort...

 

[Dicehunter]

Can confirm, If you use G-Sync Windowed, The latest driver breaks it completely, Go back to the previous 436.48.

For the filters you open GFE ingame, Setup what you want and then close it, You also don't need to have GFE open in the background either.
