I just tried to load a flight twice in MSFS. In both cases I had CTD during loading to the airport. That must be the issue.

Went back to 496.76 and back to normal - no CTDs or blue squares. Definitely the drivers.

MY rule, if your present driver is doing OK, don't (Word not allowed)  with it.....

That's fair. Although 99.9% of times driver updates are fine. I can count on one hand the number of times I've needed to rollback, this time included. The QA is usually pretty solid.

Been simming for around 3 decades. I have never downloaded a new driver, and saw any real improvement in anything. 

 

 

 

Mainly helps for new titles if you're into other gaming.

I don't do any games except flight sim, and once I get a driver that works, I stick with it.

Causing CTDs and blue texture squares.

Quite a few reports on the official forums:

New Nvidia 497.09 Always CTD - Community / General Discussion - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

You saved me the headache from upgrading to the latest driver - glad I caught this thread.

Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.4 GHz (Boost @ 4 GHz) | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING MB | Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3000 32GB (2x16) | Samsung 950 Pro NVMe (Main OS) | Western Digital Blue 1TB SSD 2.5" (MSFS) | WD Blue 2TB SSD 2.5" (For MSFS ADDONS/MODS) | Zotac Geforce GTX 1060 6GB MINI Graphics Card | Fractal Design Node 202 Case | Corsair SF450 PSU | Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27-in Monitor | WIn 10 PRO x64

A good reason to stay with trusty 457.30 then.

System: I ASRock X670E | AMD 7800X3D | 64Gb DDR5 6000 | RTX 4090 | 2TB NVMe | Seasonic Vertex 1000W I LG Ultra Gear 34 UW I

The 457.30s are still the best.  Not sure if that's the case for those in VR though 

Ryzen 5800X3D, Nvidia RTX5080 - 32 Gig DDR4 RAM, 1TB & 2 TB NVME drives - Windows 11 64 bit MSFS 2024 Premium Deluxe Edition Resolution 2560 x 1440 (32 inch curved monitor)

I am using the new driver with Zero issues .

It does bring improvement in some case such as DLSS support on specifically game,but it will be revealed in the changelog. I have experience this in the Red Dead Redemption 2 and that is tremendously improve. 

I think we need some big news on the changelog otherwise the update is not necessary if MSFS has not mentioned. I don't do any other games either.

Sorry for my pathetic English , thank you.😅
