A recent Dune: Awakening update has caused compatibility problems for players using the older Nvidia driver version 576.88. Previously stable on setups like the Acer N17 laptop with a 4060 GPU and 16GB RAM, this driver now fails to work properly after the patch. Some players also noted they had to disable Windows Defender and Malwarebytes processes to avoid interference before, but the update appears to have introduced a new technical issue affecting older drivers and certain hardware configurations. This may require affected players to update their GPU drivers to continue playing smoothly.
- Older Nvidia driver 576.88 no longer functions properly after update.
- Players with specific hardware may need to update GPU drivers.
