I’m contacting Nvidia now to figure out what has happened. In the meantime, to fly X-Plane, use the previous 340.52 WHQL driver. I’ll post more when I learn more; we’ll resolve this with either a driver update or an X-Plane update, based on what has actually gone wrong and which can happen first.
May 19, 201511 yr Nvidia has been so eager to cater to the latest big budget titles, that they seem to be dropping the ball on other things. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

May 19, 201511 yr Oh, snap. But I run both The Witcher 3 and X-Plane... Here's hoping Nvidia releases a fix soon.
May 19, 201511 yr Yea,I couldn't even get XPlane to boot up,Had to roll back. 100%75%50%d8a34be0e82d98b5a45ff4336cd0dddc Patrick
May 19, 201511 yr Author Update: NVidia was able to suggest a work-around in our shaders that avoids what I think is a driver bug. Since we can cut an X-Plane build faster than NVidia can re-release their drivers, I have cut X-Plane 10.36 rc1. You can get 10.36 rc1 by running the updater and checking “get new betas”; the updater will run even with the newest NVidia drivers. 10.36 rc1 is identical to 10.35 except for version number and a single shader change, but it’s also highly untested; I wanted to get it posted ASAP to accelerate the process. So please give it a try and file a bug if it doesn’t work like 10.35 (but working with the new NVidia drivers.)
May 20, 201511 yr Awesome dev work on the quick fix. That's what I call fast. And thanks for the hu in general, Vincent. :smile: Greetings to all Witcher fans.
May 20, 201511 yr I can confirm that this 10.36r1 update solves the problem with that latest nVidia update, at least on my machine. All working fine now. Thank you! :smile: And greetings to all Witcher fans. Yeah, I didn't want to admit to why I didn't want to roll back. But there it is. Everyone happy on this local HD and SSD now.

May 20, 201511 yr Ran updater for beta and says the d/l size is 128gb - have it on a ssd250 with 58gb remaining - how do I d/l the ver 10.36r1? Like Phantom88 will not load - do not want to reinstall other driver - using it for other progs. I like xplane too. Denis B
May 20, 201511 yr Hi, Like bursco I ran the updater and it wanted to download 20GB data. I will wait and see if there is a leaner fix than this. Keep up the good work, John.
May 20, 201511 yr I have the luxury of a pair of big 4TB drives, but the pain of a slow DSL internet connection.

May 20, 201511 yr Hold on a few - This should help Update 2: Sigh…this is what happens when I try to rush out a patch. The 10.36 patch’s free space calculation is totally borked. This will be fixed some time today. (This will be the third time I cut a patch.) John Wingold

May 20, 201511 yr Downloaded the beta update (10.36rc1, 135mb) and installed the NVIDIA driver (352.86) and it works, sort of. X-Plane crashes sometimes after a while and seems a little unstable. But hey! this is Beta. What I really like is the fact that there are dedicated guys working on this great Sim, keep up the good work, thank you!! Edited May 20, 201511 yr by torfih Torfi
May 21, 201511 yr A bit off-topic but not completely While Ben is in talks with Nvidia (as I believe 10.36 is a termporary solution until nvidia fixes their drivers) , I saw in the comment on the blog that wasn't aware of the problem with threaded optimization/newer drivers and stutters. Personaly Im not suferring from these anymore , but if somebody is , please file a bug report about this , that drivers which are newer than 337.88 are causing some stutters. Ben said that threaded optimization in theory , may increase performance , however right now as we can see it causes stutters , so if Nvidia will be aware of this and in talks with Ben they might fix all of those issues in their next drivers.
